Welding Photographer

Hello, my name is Chad Ward. I am a welding engineer and a photographer. I recently did some welding photos and would like to share them here. Please visit my website: http://www.ccwardphotography.com

Once you are on the website just click the welding category. Hope you enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!

Did you use a HDR camera or Photoshop?

That is sweet!

Merry Christmas to you as well!

I am using a Canon T1i, this was shot in RAW but no HDR and no Photoshop other than Adobe RAW to do simple editing.

Nice work. "Tig Root 3" is the only photo I've ever seen of someone feeding Tig filler through the gap. Not a commonly used technique, so it's really cool to see a picture of it. Is it ok to save a copy? (non commercial use and I'll leave the watermark alone - promise)

Reason I asked about HDR was that I've been researching Ultra-high dynamic range for shooting welding video. It's some mighty expensive equipment! Prices seem to be coming down, I hope within a few years it will be within reach.

I like your pics. Nice exposure. What mode were you shooting in? I just got the T2i with the kit lens 18-55 and the 250 mm IS. What card are you using? What class?

I don't care if you save a copy to use for a background or something. I have done HDR photos with some software but yes some of this stuff is super expensive! The guy doing the backfeed like that is a friend of mine and that is also how I was taught. I am glad you liked the photos!

My card is a Secure Digital Delkin Pro 8G, class 6, 22MB/s 150x, my camera is a
T1i, I used the 18-55mm IS for most of the shots, the IS really helps in the low light conditions so i did not have to use a tripod. I shoot exclusivly RAW in Manual mode. Thanks for viewing!
