Very beautiful photos, ArcticDude. I do love your landscapes with the laser beam shots as contrast. + rep.

Thanks Paul!

Few shots from last night..

Some beamshots from last weekend..
Weather was really nice and warm whole weekend. I made three separate hiking / mountain bike on each day / evening, overall distance of hike / bicycling aprox. 140km. (Now my legs are numb..)

HI-Res images via clicking on each picture..

Awesome, ArcticDude. I love how the stone is illuminated and overall scenery of lake. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

I've currently bad luck on weather, when I finally have free time, the weather is unpredicable to take lasers out. Last week on Monday, I was undecided, half packed, when I realized it is good to check humidity and pressure. Weather forecast was excelent, but humidity increase and pressure drop showed something else. And luckily I stayed home! At the moment all would be ready and I would have been just waiting for dark canvas to come, extremely strong storm came and certainly there would be some laser and likely camera damages. It look like somebody was throwing buckets of water on windows, strong wind, lightning and thunders, rivers and lakes on roads... Definitely I was happy to be safe. What's more I would be likely forced to stay in the forest long time due to fear being hit by lightning when crossing the fields leading to the forest. But once there will be right intersection of free time and conditions, I'll finally go for it.

I know the feeling man... That really sucks..
Last spring was so terrible over here that we had only few weekends of nice weather. Now, I'll try to take every bit of our short and rainy & cold summer and go out and enjoy as much I can.

Wow, I didn't know you could do that.

 

[ArcticDude]

Wow, I didn't know you could do that.

Actually, I tried to shoot moon down.. Without any success..

No, It was because aliens!!
I managed to capture their ship..

...

Seriously,
I think that was military drone.. Military shooting area is aback side of camera and flying is prohibited anywhere near. And there is no airfield nearby that any plane could land on and it was flying complitely silent. Flying just above the tree line, maybe 500-600 meters from me. No sound what so ever.

-And it is a dead silent over here, you can hear rabbit fart from across a lake..

Definitely not a regular quadcopter, it was way too huge for that. And VFR flights are not allowed in night time...

Beautiful photos as usual AD, they're even better looking in high res.!

I have a theory, you're secretly drawing energy from the moon, not trying to shoot it down!

Yup, and the military guys tried to prevent it too!!
