Wonderful shots, great color and depth in these. Fantastic would be a better choice, when I checked the EXIF info on the photos I see you shot these at ISO 1600, f4.5 at 1/15 sec.on the 2nd & 3rd shots, that is just amazing to have them come out so clear. You just can't beat natural light.

I LOVED that you captured them "in action". Awesome lighting and colors in all of these.

Thanks for the comments, I took a chance going with a slow shutter speed, good thing there was a pole I leaned up against and a railing in front of me to help steady the shot.

Wow very nice! I love the lighting here and those are awesome at ISO 1600 for low noise. The house I grew up in was also home to a blacksmith shop in the 1800s so these are of particular interest to me. The motion blur in the second really adds to the scene imho. It is fun to look at this and see what small things in the photo are modern. Mostly looks as it would have 120 years ago. Have you tried putting any of these in a sepia or B&W? Nice series.
