Who needs a welding glass, when I've a sunglass?

Went out birding, and found this guy working hard. He spotted me photographing and posed for me, I've promised to get him a print the next time I'm out there. I felt it was interesting enough to post here, is a little over-processed but I was going for this look.

Yeah, the heading is a bit deceiving! :345:

Although to be fair to him, he was welding stuff afterwards.

He'd have loved it even if I'd have given him a snapshot with my cell phone! :345:

I've done a ton of welding through the years, and have never burned my eyes. But I know a lot of people that have, and it is very painful! If you ever do burn your eyes, grind up raw potato, lay down close your eyes, and put the potato on them. I've heard it really help!

I like the photo!

Ray-Bans. The safety glasses of choice for the hip crowd.

I've caught arc flash before having the helmet down. Feels like a piece of sand in your eye.

Raj I like the photo a lot. Something from real life with both visual interest and story telling value, the two most important things to me when viewing photographs.

Thanks Gallagher, but I'd rather stay away from welding and just eat my potatos! :lol:
