Me and a couple friends went up on a near by Mt. last tonight and about 2600 feet up it was snowing rather lightly so I stopped and we got out and and played with the lasers in the snow and made some pretty cool beam shots if I do say so myself ;) So the lasers are all hand held in these shots. they are 650nm, 589nm, 532nm, 405nm.
check these out and let me know what you think, Enjoy !
First a few still rainbow type shots.

Those are some awesome pictures! What camera do you use? They show the beams up really well, and not much noise there either :)

I kinda wish I got snow where I live, we are going into winter now but our min temp is only about 9C at best :(

the camera is actuly a cheap HD 1080P made by AIPTEK model HD-DV 1080P
I got it through walmart mail order on line. I act. went through 3 till I got one I was satisfied with and it has been pretty tough little camera/video for a $169.00
With lasers the 405nm looks blue and is red is reduced other than that it dose a good job for it's price. and when taking pictures in normal light it's realy tops ! no Cannon or Nikon but real good color.
it has lots of functions and you can plug in an external camera like a helmet cam, That is the real reason I bought it was for trail riding, then I got into Lasers and the quad is growing moss on it now LOL

I use a Canon Powershot A640 and get some pretty good results with lasers too. It also comes down to how you use the camera I guess. For my pics, since they are mainly of my scanner, I need to use a long exposure otherwise you miss out on some of the display. Long exposures are a great way to show beams! If you wonder why you aren't getting good beam shots with a phone camera, it's probably because you can't do long exposures :)

Here is a pic I did with my point and shoot camera:

This camera has an impressive macro range, it can focus down to 1cm infront of the lense, thus capturing the fog particles in this image :D

Sorry 'bout the jack :)

No Jack, anyone can post a beam shot here that's what it's all about looking at the good stuff ;)

@ Burnsy, I'm tired and going to bed sorry I can't tell you what the shutter speed is it's on auto though.

Those are real nice flaminpyro. The snow has turned some good pics, into some extraordinary shots.

Sweet pics man! Its getting hot over here now, and no close mountains, but some nice fog:eg:
BTW, dont feel bad, I sold my old quad to fund my laser hobby:D

Here, thought this thread could use some 473nm!

very nice beams, the last picture seems, to me, a trip in a wormhole in a sci-fi movie :)

Sure they are: RED my build called "Big RED" puts out only 260mW @ 650nm. Yellow from CNI PGL-III-589-C putting out 125mW peak @ 589nm. Green from Vaisho putting out 565mW when warm ;) @ 532nm.
Purple my build 6x in 3405 host putting out 180mW @ 405nm.
