These are filmed through the Miller Digital Elite, Weld setting 9, delay 2. sensitivity 6. I think I still need to come up with something better, especially for showing any TIG welding. Are there any Photography guru's that can steer me in the right direction for filming weld processes?

I've only photo'd my torch stuff for my company edu and promo for a while, and I use my Tm2000 lens cut for my camera and I rig the lighting to balance the view enough to get me by.

I know there are photogs out there who specialize in getting nice images of various welding processes, as they have called me asking if they can help me.

My thought for you is to get a copy of the AWS "Welding Journal" and look up the writers and photogs there, as they are all business about their articles.
I'd assume you want to be a youtube source of welding processes?
