I was photographing my BR to demonstrate Glenn's BR goggles. Imagine if what happened here to my camera was your eyes.

with the goggles but the damage was done already:

let my camera's sacrifice be a waning lol.

Man I am sure glad my eyes (and cameras) are still so good! Goggles are a very important step in safety, so is careful planning and control of the area in which we lase!

This shot (with >300 mW total of lasers), took me 3X as long to lay out and accomplish due to care of eyes and cameras! -Glenn

demonstrating the effectiveness of the goggles thus:

*rookie error*

<100mW of BR glory focused into the lens.

I have heard that lasers can also damage video projectors too- that would suck worse than the camera, but that's nothing compared to a precious retina! good pics & points

really was good- printable photos + 120fps shooting. Is a shame...

+1 (if I can) for using your noodle and looking at the EXIF!

so so true- goes to show even people who have been here a while make mistakes.

I'm so thankful it was the CCD not my eyes
