What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

I asked Jody about his setup for the videos he shoots. I've lost the details, but he just uses an inexpensive digital camcorder without a filter of any kind. Just has all the "auto" features on, and the camera compensates for the brightness.

Haven't tried it, though.

The trick to using a auto exposure camcorder is to zoom in so that most of the frame is just the weld. that way there are equal amounts of dark and light so the picture is viewable. If the video is zoomed out too much you'll just get a blob of light.

Ideally you use a camera with a welding glass AND manual explosure for best results.
