pics 2013 #8

Here are some more pics using my usual mirrors, diffraction gratings,a wine glass w/water & crystal, and prisms. What I did do different this time is use two fan diffraction gratings back to back to get a different effect. I also made use of my two Skylaser diffraction caps (from offroads GB) to nice effect. Also a few pics with my 473nm, 589nm & 593.5nm lasers, though only a few. I have ordered a new diffrraction grating (#252) from Laseglow which I hope to have for my shoot next weekend, or the weekend after at the latest. They have some really interesting diffraction gratings available (though pretty expensive) I plan to incorporate in my photography in the weeks to come.
Enjoy

These are just awesome!

I applaud your photographic & experimental expertise. You've done a GREAT JOB combining the two. WELL DONE !!! I was thoroughly impressed ........... rob

Looking at these pics in this post, some of them look kind of blotchy and blurry. I guess because the resolution is reduced from 4000x3000 to 800x600. The are actually sharp photos in hi- res or they would not have been posted

Fully agree with rob, these pics are TOTALLY IMPRESSIVE !!

You can add small thumbnails leading to the full-res pics

Amazing Shots..:gj:

Ridiculous shots.

Amazing....

how long does it usually take you to get everything aligned and setup for pictures of this quality?

Hi Corey, it usually takes me around 30 mins to get set up (tables, tripods, back curtain, fog machine,etc) and another 10 or 15 mins to align the mirrors, prisms, gratings, and lasers depending on what I originally plan to do. As I start shooting I will change things as I progress based on what ideas I get once I start The real pain in the ass is breaking everything down which takes another 40 mins or so. Everything gets broken down and put back where it belongs so I am ready for the next time. And I usually shoot for about 2 to 3 hours in a session, about 200 photos or so. I start setting up about 4:30PM , have dinner with the wife, and start shooting about 5:45 and finish breaking down by about 9 or 9:30. I upload my photos to my computer and screw around with them Sunday morning. I then load them onto my IPad ( they really look stunning on the retina display in hi- res), Flickr ,and here (my favorite 20 or so) here the next day. It is time consuming but it beats laying on the couch watching TV since I do that every night after work
While I am doing all of this my wifes hobby is quilting and she is doing her thing. That is my routine.

Thats completely awe-inspiring work man.... My son loves this kind of stuff and has been begging me to build a similar setup. Do you have a whole room cleared out for this?

Hi Corey, I use my garage, and after I am done cleaning everything up, there is not a trace of anything from my photo shoot
