Great shots ArcticDude and RB! Here's a few more :beer:

Currently on holidays in Sydney NSW :) Just took this pic overlooking Bronte beach just south of Bondi. Any suggestions or improvements are welcome :beer:

Amazing shots Gabe! You may advocate yourself as an amateur photographer but from my perspective these are very professional :D My favorites are the high speed coffee shots ;) You've inspired me to try some high speed photography Gabe! So here's my attempt :p f/1.8, 1/4000 shutter speed, ISO...

Here's an unedited version for you diachi :p Here's another moonlit pic Crazlaser, albeit slightly out of focus.

Thanks RB! With that first image I took a 30 second exposure, at the start I had the laser on for maybe 2 seconds or so and then I removed the laser from the frame, allowing the light that was once behind the laser to be visible to the camera :) The blue laser looks fairly accurate to my eyes...

I remember seeing your panorama on the random pics thread! Very nice perspective and thanks for the compliment RB :beer: Here's a few more from 4am last night :D This one was just an interesting experiment. Turned out ok For all of these shots the lens, settings and sensor details are 30s...

Thanks Andrew! I'll for sure miss Dookie, had a lot of great nights at the local pub (perhaps too often :shhh:) and the countryside really is beautiful. Solar eclipses are quite surreal! Sounds like it would have been an awesome sight with the smoke in the atmosphere. If you do end up finding...

We always want what we don't have :D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Took this one on my G4 recently. Hmm how are there stars out during the day :shhh:

Well it's nearing the end of my first year of uni and that means I'll be saying goodbye to the old town known as Dookie. These photos of the small country Victorian area aren't particularly good (even in broad daylight there is digital noise...) But I wanted to at least have a few shots of the...

No worries Alaskan! Personally I think you deserve all the reps that come your way. Always striving to push the boundaries doing crazy builds with amazing divergence! Always a pleasure to read your posts :beer:

You need to tell us that first, the size and type of host you have will dictate what LED configuration you should use. CREE makes single emitter LED's capable of much more than 'just' 1000 lumens. Search XPL V6 2C, XP-G3 S5 3A, MT-G2 (capable of over 3500 lumens). They also manufacture...

Re: PLTB-450B Custom Heat Sink and Focus Knob You're kidding me right now, 2.8W from that PLTB :shhh: Very nice lathe work Lifetime and a fantastic output to boot!

It's almost certain that it is due to the batteries. Since they are of low quality each cell has a different internal resistance and a different capacity. Thus each battery gets depleted at a different rate. You should not have this problem with quality cells with matched capacities. Notice...

Re: Proper 16340 Batteries for my 445nm 4W Laser Capacity and amp discharge characteristics are directly related to voltage and internal resistance. No doubt those batteries have such low capacity and such high internal resistance that the voltage drops extremely quickly even under light...

Indeed Jeff :D That comparison shot looks simply stunning. Especially since Grainde measured his PL520 at 510nm, makes it even more special. And I'm sure Grainde wouldn't mind that we're posting his photos here so that others may appreciate his amazing art!

That last shot is ridiculously good Brucemir! :bowdown: The long exposures certainly worked, all those shots look incredibly vibrant. Fantastic perspective as well! Great photos RB! Awesome that you were able to capture the stars as well without over-exposing the beam or red light. Simply...

Maybe because the battery is dead :confused:

Couldn't agree more with everyone here :D Jordan has really gone above and beyond whenever I've had questions or inquiries! One of the most genuine and passionate guys I've had the pleasure of knowing :tinfoil:

You said multiple times that you're looking to make a large profit from all of this. Talk to anyone here who has made drivers or hosts for any length of time and they will tell you that there is very little profit involved. LPF could obviously benefit from more host builders since Ehgemus and...

Just beautiful Andrew:drool: You're right of course, I absolutely love it :D I've just figured out how to adjust shutter speed on my phone, so I'll try getting some 30s long exposure shots at night and see how they turn out :p Next in store is to get myself a tripod so I can actually take long...
