Another From The Machine Shop


This was a very lucky image - I was photographing the other direction when this fellow came in and started grinding away after telling me not to worry, the sparks would go the other direction. I swivelled the camera round on the tripod and holding in my hand and using the shutter release instead of the cable, fired of this .8 second exposure during which the sparks flew but the worker held still - who'd have thought. Not too bad for a grab shot. Perhaps the moral here is, check behind you, there may be a better photograph in the opposite direction.
