Beam shots..

[timelord]

Thanks windstrings It's only a point and shoot 10mp camera but i'm happy with it. And i think a little tripod will come in handy soon plus plenty of practice. ;D ;D

Yea.. all of my shots have been just holding the camera in my hand..... when you can use a tripod you can "really" improve the crispness, and color saturation nicely.... not to mention laser beams look great.

Mine has a "nightime" mode and most of the shots are for 8 to 10 seconds... believe me, its hard to hold a camera still that long..even when braced on something.

sometimes I can just set it down and get the shot so I don't have to hold it, but usually the angle is a little off.

Yea i'm just gonna order this tripod that's light and easy to carry about not to mention for easy use in my cramped for space laser corner LOL.

I would think that would be a pretty hard shot.... if the shutter is too slow, you don't get the particles, if its too fast, you don't get the beam brightness.... you must have a really big lens on that camera to gather tons of light for that shot!

I bet you set your aperture as wide as it will go eh?... that way you get the fastest shutter speed and still have decent light?

My little pocket camera can't get shots like that.

It's only a little compact pocket camera and i just use auto setting on it with no flash. I'm well impressed how it performs. It's 10.1 megapixel and has full manual control and up 1000 ISO here's the Samsung website to see it. If you want a small inexpensive camera then i'd recommend it.
