I got back from Burning Man, and it appears that 445nm lasers have made their mark there. What better place to see the laser beam than the dust of the playa? Even without the dust storms, the beams were visible a kilometer away, flying above in the sky.
Most of the (445nm) lasers were way above the access level of the people attending, but I did see some being used from ground level. For my own part, I did not bring one because of safety concerns; however I did bring a 50mW green (shined only upwards) which looked awesome in the dust clouds. The mechanical shutter on that one stopped working after a while because of the grit.
Here are some picture. If anyone else attended from this forum, post some as well! I'm only showing two, because people should attend and enjoy Burning Man themselves for an incredible experience.
