Tonight I broke out my 594.1nm HeNe to photograph. Since everyone is still obsessing over 445nm, I thought I'd post something a little more fun. The color rendition looks perfect on my monitor (and on the back of my camera). :D

Laser courtesy of daguin. :)

Strange. Your laser looks a bit orange to me on your image. :thinking:
But, I guess 594nm is on the orange side of yellow:

594nm is more of a golden amber to me ;)

However, it certainly isn't orange or green so "yellow" was the best label for it.

Red ------------------ Orange ----------------------- Yellow -------------------- Green

Glad you guys like it. :)

Ash, yes, it's quite orange-y. Many people call them amber, and I was really surprised at how orange it was when I first unboxed it.

@daguin: Like the photo? Been meaning to do this for a while... :)

Very nice pic. Very well done!

I was going to ask the power until I saw it was a 30s shot on a SLR.

I like my yellow hene better than my 445 also! Makes me want a handheld though.

I like it a lot :)

It shows the difference between 594nm and 632nm well.

Now, if we could just get a picture that showed the difference between 612nm and 632nm as well <sigh>

Peace,

I have an ex girlfriend who goes to Virginia tech, maybe I'll call her up and use her as an excuse to come Up to Blacksburg to come see some 594 goodness!

I think I'll get out my 543.5nm one out tonight too. :D

Well, if you'd stop by the east coast at some point... ;)

I'd love to shoot SELEM or SoCaLEM at some point for sure. :D

If flying weren't so expensive I'd be there in a second. Got friends there I haven't seen in years, plus a few that just graduated and moved.

Know of anyone from my neck of the woods going?

Most enthusiasts from the right side of the country will be going down to SELEM in Newton, NC ** Aug 19-21
