About This is the color version of "The Arc" I think it is equally good in color, but the B&W gives it another feel. I am curious what others think, if it is better in B&W or in color.

Here is the B&W version:

even tho the colours came up really well here, i still prefer the black and white.....i guess it adds more character to the shot (n b&w)

Good photo of this welder.I love the different ray's of light. Be carefull,1 spark on your lens and you can trow your camera away.

Thanks for the tip, Peter! LOL I was a little concerned about that!

I think this one actually works better in colour :) well done Melanie :)


Melanie Reynolds   {K:9090} 12/30/2004
Thank you, Howie! I am still really torn between the color and B&W. I really like both!

Dunno whether I'm right or not, but maybe you should have thought about protecting you CCD from the ultraviolet rays coming from the arc. That's what causes Arc-eye in humans eyes. Maybe a skylight 1a/1b filter would have protected your camera's sensor a bit?

Thanks for the advice, Sean, but I have no money to buy anything extra for my camera! I'm lucky to have it, since it was a hand-me-down. So, I just have to make due. It's a pretty decent camera, but nothing near a professional model. One of these days I will be able to get myself a nice camera with all the accessories.

I do appreciate you commenting )

Even though I'm a big B&W fan, this shot works best in color. The cold cold blue fights the red and brilliant white produced by the arc.The semi-bare trees, the welders heavy dress are at odds with the blazing sun. The vise grip/welding clamp in the foreground vs. main subject in the middle ground only compliment the tension of hot and cold, as well as the plurality of natural and man made suns. I only seem to pass through Tehachapi in the winter, which might help explain why this photo makes me so c-c-cold.
