But I think the welding work is now over, so I will have to find some other interesting subject to try a few of these suggestions. Sujeet: These sound very interesting to experiment.

Try to get a (safe) shot of whatever's being welded. Color abstracts of that surface are interesting. # If your camera allows it, lock the color to yellow and let everything else go to monochrome.
