People's, lend me your ear for a moment.
Here's a little teaser from my most recent copper build.
The 'paining' is called "Starry Night in 505nm".

"Brannon Dorsey recorded himself mimicking frames from a video of Ray Kurzweil giving a talk.
He then used this data to train a Dorsey→Kurzweil translator,
allowing him to become a kind of puppeter in control of Kurzweil's appearance."

That's for a Hyundai Elantra. It goes up as the price of the car does. I imagine there are people paying over $1,000.00 a year for their tabs. We also have a 10% sales tax. No state income tax, though.

Just got me renewal form from the DMV. Cost me $147/year for new tags. Not much considering I also have personalized plates, and they add on another $40 for the "donation" to my organization I decided to help :)

Old photo I took but this expanded 520 nm is awesome to me:

Wow. Unlike most beam shots in the sky that look like they end, the expanded 520nm one seems to go on for a far greater distance. It is extremely expanded as the exiting beam looks to be maybe 3 to 4 inches. I love it.

Meant to give a kudos to ArcticDude for his post with the Monet and photograph comparison. I enjoyed seeing it. :yh:

Yep, you can get some perspective with a fat beam as it travels away becoming a tiny point. The lens was huge at about 6 inches, but the focal length produced about a 3 1/2 inch diameter beam.

Been seeing some cool photo's, I really like it when members post them, wanted to add to it. I miss my toys where I am at!

Do I see single mode? The one with all of the wires looks to have a wide enough emitter to be a NUBM44

First one is an LPC-826 or equivalent.

That was my impression. The second one looks to have a photo diode in it. Don't think it is a 44, but can't say exactly what.

BTW, why are we doing this? Is there a prize?

While we are sharing pics let me say I am loving these 3 x 26650 Trustfire housings, they feel so solid in the hand, I shop around until I can find them for 30 dollars and I reuse the spring board, they fit 3 inches of bar stock or tube easily. They have good switches too. :)

The 7 xml-T6 and 12 xml-T6 units are thick and surprisingly well machined, nice finish, easy builds.
