Description
Another HDR image from Blists Hill showing the Blacksmiths Shop.
The tradition goes back eons of time, but the term is derived Blacksmiths work with iron, the 'black' metal, and sometimes steel, its derivative.
The black color comes from fire scale, a layer of oxides that forms on the surface of the metal during heating. The term 'smith' originates from the word 'smite', which means 'to hit'. Thus, a blacksmith is a person who smites black metal.
Blacksmiths work by heating pieces of wrought iron or steel until the metal becomes soft enough to be shaped with hand tools, such as a hammer, anvil and chisel. Heating is accomplished by the use of a forge fueled by propane, natural gas, coal, charcoal, or coke.

Love your photo...but the runthrough of the word blacksmith was every bit as good. Great piece.
Excellent work!
I immediatelly saw the special lighting..caused by the HDR formula. It is a very beautiful image and interesting too. So many objects to see.
Danny this one is beyond fascinating and made my day. There is nothing that takes me back more than images of a blacksmith's shop. We still have a booklet of services my Great Grandfather provided at his.
Cool work and image, well done....
This is an amazing image.

Excellent scene. Reminds me a bit of some pictures done using the polaroid transfer process too.
The effect you have given this excellent shot makes it look like it is from another time when this was commonplace.
they go back a long time and they find metal worked together that we have a very hard time working them together. this is wonderful
Wonderful hdr work, the tone is very nice. Lot to see but nicely organized.
Great job!
