Enchanted Beams Thread

I got some inspiration from Radim paintings and I picked my lasers..

RGB & green laser + three diffraction gratings..

Looks great! Total Christmas party.

Awesome photos! As I mentioned it is a honor for me I inspired you.

Your RGB is just amazing...

And I noticed you also have a favourite spot, I'm looking forward to see how it changes during a year.

Not my favourite spot but maybe my nearest spot. Approx 500 m from my house. :crackup:
I don't bother to travel long distances to take photographs when temperatures are below -10*C

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Brilliant ArcticDude! Where's the mothership?

I love that film! Amazing work by Spielberg.

I tried to morse those notes with my RGB, but no answer.. :thinking:

 

[Vision]

Absolutely epic!

Keep trying ArcticDude. If you get a response, take me with you!

 

[ArcticDude]

Well..
I gotta go now to freeze my nuts..

Aurora - 3 day forecast

Hopefully no clouds to night like last night.. :tinfoil:


EDIT

-------

Forecast: 90 GigaWatts

You're so lucky. I'd love to see an Aurora for myself. Have fun! :beer:

Hopefully last beamshots with this camera..
I Finally managed to find reasonable priced camera (used Panasonic DMC G6 camera body - mint condition + 4x battery etc) for 200€ and new Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens. Manual focus lens with f2.0 aperature is perfect for my use and setting focus to infinity is really easy. Whole set was little bit over 500€.

My old camera has served me really well over 7 years now and it is time to let it go for retirement.

Nice pictures as always!

Looks like things are thawing out for you guys over there too. We managed to get up to +2C yesterday, couple more weeks and the snow here should be just about gone!

 

[ArcticDude]

Little bit different shots this time..
A day light beamshots, not as impressive than night time shots..

 

[CurtisOliver]

Not as impressive? You've captured the beams beautifully in daylight. What's not as impressive about that?
Good job ArcticDude. :beer:
