The spoils of a foggy night!

As the 19" of snow in Richmond (I'm home on winter break) was melting, we had two really good foggy nights in a row.

The first night, my dad got to play with his recently acquired Nikon D90. Here are a couple highlights:

Optotronics ~155mW

Homebuilt Labby 405nm PHR ~100mW (Makes a great facebook profile picture!)

The second night I broke out my Metrologic ML820 HeNe rated at 2mW. Dad did not join me, I believe he was playing Forza on Xbox Live.

Either the laser's lens is dirty or the polarization is throwing a bit of spatter - but the specs are great (~0.86 mRad).

All in all, two really fun nights. In the unlikely event anyone wants ultra high-res copies of these pictures, I can upload them.

Nice beam on the HeNe, my camera always seems to hate red lasers as well - always get that big ring around it

Sweet pics, however I thought a Nikon D90 was able to pick up bluray better !

This was the first time he got it out and really used it to take a bunch of photos. If you have any pointers to pass along, I'm sure he'd really appreciate them! :beer:

And to everyone else, thanks for the comments. :)

Those really are some great pics. Don't you love the fog! I had a foggy night about two months ago. Unfortunately I only had my 30mW green because I was out, but it looked awesome!

I considered selling my Optotronics 150mW and realized that I wouldn't be able to bring it out and around on foggy nights.

And your avatar is trippy on an epic scale. :eek:
