The Pastor of one of the churches we do mission work for is an accomplished Blacksmith. He invited us to his home for a demonstration. I apologize for some of the photos less than stellar sharpness. It was very dark in the shop and focusing was a constant battle. I used and ISO of 1600. I didn't want to go any higher, trying to keep the noise at a minimum. Thank you for looking and of course any comments are welcome.

Nice set. I like the LED light with the old wrought iron work of the blacksmith. Nice contrast.

I should have added the LED light picture is my least favorite of all of them. I like it because of the "story" it seems to tell. I rarely to never get the "story" part of pictures, but the old vs new contrast of this pic seems to be the "story" hitting me in the face. I could easily be wrong though.

And I thought good wood working projects were tough! Very cool!
