445, 515, 532, 589 and 650nm compilation

[Lux Nitida]

Hello everyone, it has been a long time! I have been a way from here for a while but wanted to come back around and see what's new. I have come back to find that Photobucket has destroyed all of my photos in all of my old posts with their photo-nazi policies, so I have decided to create this one post that displays all of my best photos to date. I look forward to getting my camera and lasers back out and doing new photos soon. Lasers shown in these photos are:

445nm@2.03W
515nm@31mW
532nm@100mW
589nm@50mW (112mW peak)
650nm@4mW

All lasers have been fan and matrix diffracted using Dragonlasers optical glass diffraction gratings. My camera is a Canon EOS 30D DSLR and all diffraction photos shown were taken in a closed and fogged room using my Chauvet DJ Hurricane 700 fog machine. Now the photos:

So there we have it, I hope you all like them and I look forward to getting back into my photography again and continue working to improve my photos. I know there are some really awesome photo pros around here, at least were here the last time I was and I know my stuff doesn't come close to them but I have learned a lot from seeing what they have done and will continue to practice, practice, practice. Happy lasing!!! :beer:

Those are some sweet beams, very impressive! :beer:
Thanks for sharing with us.

Very nice. You can do a lot with a few diffraction gratings and a fog machine.

Hi Lux, welcome back.
Good to see you posting again.
Lovely shots there, very nice indeed.
+rep when I can for you.

Also glad to see you back! Like Paul said, can't do wrong with some diffraction gratings and fog, it's usually pretty fun. Good looking pics.

Simply stunning photographs! Thanks for sharing/reposting. Those are just beautiful. :gj:

very impressive pics,i couldnt even tell that there is fog before i read it on the comments

Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to taking more pics soon, have to figure out some new ideas too but that is what makes this fun. :beer:

Thanks dead! I try and make it that the fog is not part of the photos as best I can in post processing and I use a simple oscillating fan to help give me even fog coverage and eliminate any thicker spots. Seems to work pretty well. Anyway thanks again everyone! :beer: :beer: :beer:
