About This is 9000 pounds of molten steel. It is being guided by a man operating a crane that is holding the vat by a giant hook. He positions the vat over the mold and lines up the openings. The workers in the picture open the tap and close it when flames start coming out of the top of the mold.
This is really dangerous work and these men must operate with extreme care. Once the mold is full, the bucket starts moving pretty quicky. Believe me, it sent me scurrying for cover.
You can see the heat inside radiating from the top. By the way, this very bucket was used during WWII to pour howitzer shells.

I've already commented on the last photo of this series, Mark, and come back to it because it's so very interesting and your "about" is highly instuctive.
Shana Tove Umetuka (Sweet) to you too and thank you for your very kind comments on my photos.
Best regards,
Rafi

This stell mill series is so wonderfully done. I'm sure the lighting was hard to work with, but you have captured the colours vividly. They tell a story that makes one appreciate the hot, dangerous work these guys do. Terrific.

Super shot Mark. You can almost feel how hot it is and be carefuly you don't melt your equipment, Nikon won't cover it (ha ha).

Great shot Mark... Love how the spaks looks and the incredible detail given the low light conditions... Excellent exposure...

It seems a dangerous job... Hope they have good security rules there...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Amazing series Mark
It certainly looks hot. A very unforgiving environment. Something like mine (mining)
Do you remember your camera settings?
btw thanks for comments on Pearl Lake.

This is an outstanding composition and exposure, Mark. You "about" certainly adds to the picture and give a very good description of what's going on. Well Done! Larry
