Now, Grazie, carefully put down the grinder and un-plug it! Computers and grinders just don't get along, especially camera lens and grinders. Now, you did not say what you were grinding, but ,,,,,,,,,,



P.S. Grazie - always the artist! Just don't cut off any body parts by accident or by design!

LOL!

Actually it must have been one of this very few and rare occasions that a sheet of glass was directly in the path of the sparks .. sooooo I could point my humble XM2 directly INTO the shower of flying hot metal and I and the cammie was safely on the other side.

Just looking at it now. The Deep contrast effect of ColCuves is just gorgeous!!

.. . gotta lie down now.

Just captured and logged 11 hours of miniDV .. . kinda getting a narrative together .. but that's me for today .. oh yeah! "C'mon you Gooners" . . Arsenal are playing some Spanish outfit tonight in Paris .. might just have to sit and watch it . .

Grazie

Foundaries are another place to capture some mean looking video, just watch where you put your feet.

Grazie - yes I have done this on a vid of a guy sharpening tools.

It reminds me of a time watching a great sunset in New Mexico (from the brige in "Natural Born Killers' incidentially) and from the back row we all hear another loud English voice crying "Fucking Brill"

Sounds cool! Any chance to see a sample? I'm fresh out of angle grinder footage....

IBM Research invited my English son and colleagues to an Austin, Texas restaurant famed for it's spectacular sunset views. At the appointed hour, the sun duly put on a great show, to the enthusiastic whoops and hollers of the mainly American crowd.

The bunch of Brits stood up, politely clapped, then cried 'Encore!'
