New lens! Glorious beam shots!

Been a looong time since I've done beam pictures. But I got a new 24 mm prime lens for my DSLR and a relatively clean room to shoot in.

So first up, my custom made 120 mW 638!

Now, 405 is a tricky one to shoot. Cameras don't pick it up to well, its hard to focus on, and just generally a pain.

But I did manage to get a decent shot of the nice purple beam, the only major flaw in the photo is the horrible lens flare around the aperture of the laser.

And now a nice beam shot of my LaserBTB 532:

I had to use some old sound foam as a beam stop to prevent the dot from washing everything out.

My 532 is my only laser powerful enough to take a lit room beam shot and not have everything over exposed:

And a quick shot in the dark:

And finally, I found a small magnifying glass and used it to counteract the awful divergence of my Lab 473:

As you can see, the beam was nice and tight and it let the color really show through. Aside from the magnifying glass throwing some splash around, this turned out pretty good.

Thanks for viewing!
