Whoa, the links have gotten quite a bit longer this week…

I see:
No gloves
welding next to aerosol (x4)
Loose clothes
nearby rags
Grounding wire laying across the exhaust pipe
….and is he welding in his lap?/At least his mask is down.
January 6, 2011 at 1:16 am #35814orionidParticipantAlso: lots more variety than I was honestly expecting so far. Kudos all.

Agreed! Looks to be a good contest. I love your shot of Kestrana, seriously, I hope you take my comment as I meant it, in jest (not that the ring isn’t nice, it is, and that’s why I commented such.)
A couple b’s of the bigguns’ shots (I killed 10 lighters in the process of getting these images, may they rest in pieces)

Were “Color Popping, Naturally” a slightly different them, I’d use that shot (or one on a better background) in that contest.

Oooooh, nice!
NBD I’m pretty sure the two-finger cigarette grip is not recommended 😀

IF you cut it down to the thread# it still works though.
January 6, 2011 at 1:45 am #35819ElsinoreKeymasterYeah, had to double check that, cause the thread scraper the site uses depends on thread number, and it didn’t break, so phew.
January 6, 2011 at 1:48 am #35820ravnosticParticipantU-Man, why oh why didn’t you use the gecko shot? That is SO excellent!! Love the bird at sunset with the halo, as well.
Mopsy, Your ‘Arcs of Color’ is really nice.
Powerful Katrina 57 years? Did you marry at age 2? It’s lovely.
Queen Bee That eye shot is way-cool.
So many good pictures, I can’t wait to see what the Total-less farktographers come up with…
January 6, 2011 at 2:40 am #35821U-ManParticipantrav – I used a similar gecko for the lizard theme, I already did a kinda-repeat with the snow sparkles, and NBD got his plasma thing in early. 🙂
But thanks. I didn’t know if the gull and lens flare halo was sparky or arc-y enough.

All that and no gloves… If a day goes by that I don’t have to yell at him for doing something unsafe it’s a miracle. Oh to be that young and invincible again… The kids a great welder but no common sense!
He was welding on the floor before I yelled at him to move the pipe to the bench. After I took the shot I made him clean the work area before he blew us all up.
January 6, 2011 at 3:22 am #35823mopsyParticipantravnostic, thanks.
I told U-Man that I liked the gull and the lens flare halo too. Before the contest!
Elsinore, I guess I just had to tell the computer that I was going to turn it off to get it to listen. I don’t know what was wrong, but it is fixed now! Also, will you be putting up the next themes as I want to get ahead of the game because Mr. Mopsy is having his second surgery February 4 and may be in the hospital for 10 days. I don’t want to miss anything. Thanks.

Oooooh, nice!
Thanks! I was quite pleased with how that turned out. 😀
January 6, 2011 at 3:27 am #35825mopsyParticipantWow, you must have entered all those themes while I was trying to get here! 😳 OR you are really fast.
