uphill stick weld video

[Muggins the Mug]

My SLR doesn't even have a battery! let alone auto settings. Its a Russian Zenith.

A name from the distant past. But to be truthful they were great cameras to learn your "trade" on. I was brought up with manual only SLRs in the early 1980's. I only bought a digital compact a couple of years ago, but my first love is still 35mm film.

Regards,

Ian.

ps: Back on topic then...

Nothing like good composition for making a great photograph. In answer to your PS, isn't that a chocolate bar with hazelnuts in it?

it was one of the cheap aldi special buys ones and the rods were cheaappi 2.5mm weldability superweld ones (£6 a carton )

superweld I dumped two boxes of them the other day because they kept dropping the Ark even on dc total rubbish I did keep the plastic cartons they were in the for some of my other rods their handy to keep out the moisture

 

[bawjaws]

ithought they were ok, compared to the aldi ones anyway

but they dont match up to a bag of blue 6013s a pal gave to me (from a farm)

by the way Arc light does damage the CCD or CMOS on a digi camera if you do not use a shade or take pics looking directly at the arc.

Here is a vid I did tonight.

Jeez, took hours. AVI, mpeg, flash all had issues with blank layer, odd colors or browser not seeing it correctly. Kept playing with converters/editors until it worked.

Looks like I need to adjust the auto darkening filter I used to be a bit darker.

The last half inch, I did get a better triangle motion.

Not bad at all shenion I would usually use DCEP more penetration with a short ark it's also easier to do a joint as the Weld has some where to go

 

[shenion]

I would have used DCEP but I was already blowing holes if I did not keep the arc length real short.
