Decided to add a little bit of "effects" to my photo shoot. Enjoy
be good to see multiple colours. With two or more colours they really pop.
Try having someone paint lines across your face with the laser (eyes closed obviously) - makes for a really cool effect especially when it passes over the hair.
I'd leave the music out, or put something really generic that's not likely to bug anyone. Past experience of both making videos and watching lots is that what you might like in music can drive others round the bend and annoy your viewers. I've still got some of my older videos up with music in but nowadays I'd probably just not bother. You rarely hear of someone complaining that a YT vid is too quiet, but complaints about shitty music come in thick and fast
I'd go ahead and use all your lasers in at least one video. The face thing isn't so bad - we tried it and it came out well with nothing but a laser and long exposure. I'm currently uploading an example to show you but my ADSL up speed is so slow it might as well not exist... so watch this space.
I'll be sleeping and dreaming of 593.5nm when that goes up no doubt!
Just biding my time for now.
Unless one comes up in the B/S/T section within the next month or so I reckon I will be buying the Rigel 2 from LG... and spend what I would have spent on the Rigel 5 on another (stronger) pair of safety glasses instead. The Rigel 5 is back ordered and I suspect that means they have to test a huge CNI shipment to get an overspec one... it looks to me like the Rigel 5 is just the overspec Rigel 2 as CNI only appear to do it in 0.6-2mW guise.
Had a very strong reflection from my 445 tonight and was quite a strong "flash" in my left eye through my eagle pair. No damage or sight problems - the glasses did their job - but a stronger OD rating for blue would make me a bit more comfortable after that. That 445 scares the bejeezus out of me sometimes, 1.6Watts of collimated light is no joke!

I can imagine. 500mW of any wavelength scares the living daylights out of me already, can't imagine 1.6Watts!!! I would probably never turn the darn thing on, ya know?
And as you said, LG's Rigel-5 has been back-ordered since Christmas. I was about to purchase it, but spent one day too many deciding between 593.5nm and 473nm and it was gone 2mW of 593.5nm will still be awfully nice to see!
I wonder is the Rigel 5 back-ordered due to stocks drying up? I suppose 589 has effectively replaced 593.5 so less people are buying. Personally, one of the reasons I want a 593.5 is the very reason most people probably don't - it's inherent instability and ability to lase both 532nm and 671nm really fascinate me.
