    My attempts at laser photography... *many new shots added* 8-24-11

    Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new HDR shots* 1-24-11 Thanks! I posted some beam-shots I did tonight in my IQS Round-up thread. I cannot figure out how to keep the near-field and far-field in focus at the same time. My camera skill so far is "Auto" with manual ISO and flash...

    IQS (itemquick ship) Laser Round-up

    Finally got some beam shots. D60 set on auto, but with settings as follows: Flash: OFF ISO: 800 I moved the beam shots to the top post per suggestion, and inter-leaved them with their host details. This pic is not a laser. It is a balloon target created by my younger daughter. She is too...

    My attempts at laser photography... *many new shots added* 8-24-11

    Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new HDR shots* 1-24-11 What are the recomended settings to get good flashless beam shots? I have a Nikon D60, but am a total photographic ingorant -- I have used only automatic mode up to now :( Boosted: sorry you got -repd; if you want to PM me any...

    FAA: Laser incidents soar, threaten planes

    This is why we need a group of aviation-knowledgeable laser enthusiasts to help frame any legislation. We don't want to compromise safety, but the total regulation-into-nonexistence of personal laser ownership would be a pity.

    IQS (itemquick ship) Laser Round-up

    Only 1, but it would seem to drain quickly, thus shipping with two ;) I noticed the same problem with the SB, and do appreciate the recess on the 3998 host. However, I also wish it was an on/off and not a hold-on ... :cryyy: Thanks! Yeah, I'm feeling my haste at ordering the #150 before...

    IQS (itemquick ship) Laser Round-up

    :( They are "["IMG"]" and "["/IMG"]" tags ... I fixed them! Stoopid Photobucket links have the "action=view?current=" ... snipped that out, and they're golden!

    FAA: Laser incidents soar, threaten planes

    I don't think he is asking for the purpsoe of testing your numbers (I sure hope not). I think he is asking a known knowledgeable person (a group he considers 'experts') an honest question. Of course he can go get a Phd in optics and generate his own expert opinion -- any of us could do that...

    Now that is an explanation I can get behind.

    IQS (itemquick ship) Laser Round-up

    OK, so I got hooked on IQS from sampson’s Super Beast Green thread. I bought the Super Beast Green Laser Pointer 5mw 006 Signal W/CR123A as soon as I saw these posts, noting the quick shipping, the low claimed IR, and the reputation of the seller. In fact I bought 2. One of them had a small...

    FAA: Laser incidents soar, threaten planes

    Look, I think there is a lot to talk about here. Forum members -rep people for just talking about it -- that is stupid. Another says don't argue semantics. Yet another says there is no conspiracy, but then goes on to say that anything we say here will be twisted against the hobby. However...

    Quick Pictorial Review: Super Beast Green #100 006

    IQS says 1 min max, 30sec better for max run, with 1-2 mins rest between runs. See the original Super Beast Green link at the top, and my posts within - mine was 165mW and I killed it.

    What it looks like to point a laser at an aircraft

    Yeah, I've seen that -- I thought you meant someone in this thread ... I have not seen a recent post on LPF where someone tried to suggest it might be ok, no harm, the pilot's job to blink just right, etc. I did see one comment recently that said it might not be "that dangerous", be the post...

    Yeah, assumptions are bad :) Oh, and off-topic ... I should probably delete these :thinking:

    FAA: Laser incidents soar, threaten planes

    Tikilaser: you posted that at 10:48am local to your timezone ... are you home-schooled or just home sick? Not trying to single you out; we homeschool our daughters, and that personalized education does tend to lead them to be more rational and forward-thinking than the average kid (12, 14, 16...

    What it looks like to point a laser at an aircraft

    I took the "now" to be in the "adverb-explanatory" sense, not in the "temporal as opposed to before viewing this video" sense. My apologies if that was incorrect.
