Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new HDR shots* 1-24-11 Sorry for the childish "take my ball and go home" rant above, I just got peeved when I saw that. Bobby: I'm a self taught photography noob myself, but I'll share my settings/methods with you for my shots I've posted. I just...

Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new HDR shots* 1-24-11 Welp since I just realized that Cyparagon gave me negative rep for triple posting in this thread, I'm done with it. No more pics, no more updates.

No I was pretty careful to be static free. I do alot of computer building/work so I'm always aware of static. You know, one detail I forgot. Since this was my first laser I was kinda playing around with it. At different steps while setting the driver I would hook up the diode just to see...

My voltage at the battery I am using is 4.16v. So what do you think? Can I turn the power down and try it again, or is the diode dead?

Well I had read in the all diode thread that 500 was the max, and 420 was the norm, so I tried 470. But why am I only getting 182 at the tailcap? I would hope its all connected correctly, everything came out just fine while on the test load.

This is my first build from scratch, harvesting the diode all the way up to soldering/setting the driver with a test load. Its an LPC-815 diode, using a Flex driver set to 470ma (set using flaminpyro's test load on red) in Jayrob's stainless Aurora kit. Also using Jayrob's G1-650 lens. The...

Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new HDR shot* 1-24-11 Tried playing with HDR photography today, I added a laser shot to the first post, and here was my first attempt:

Re: Awesome laser pics - HDR pics added! After seeing your thread and pics, I decided to play with HDR myself. Read about it some time ago but never tried it. Ive gotten a few good shots, but a good laser shot still eludes me...

Count me in if the price isn't insane...

Ok now the thread has taken a disturbing turn...

Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new pics added* Added some snow pics....

:beer: Also delighted to see the interesting direction this thread took....

Well thankfully it was a cheapie 22" PC monitor, not a TV. Needless to say, the GF was *not* amused. The new laser hobby already slightly annoys her, this did not help.

Was playing around with my Saik 2w, and thought I would be clever and point to something on my GF's LCD monitor. It only took 2 seconds before I heard a sizzle/pop. :oops:

Re: My attempts at laser photography... *new pics added* Thanks. I have parts coming to do a blu-ray and a red build. I'll have to come up with some photo ideas...

Any idea when the next batch will be ready to go?

Are you machining parts again? If you are I'll pm you about the focus knob for my Saik host...

Re: My attempts at laser photography... Couple of new pics added, you really have to study that first one to see whats going on...
