Enchanted Beams Thread

Hey AD, I like the third photo the best since there is no sign of the bright like hitting the mirror and overexposing. Great shots.

Nice frozen beams as always AD!
It looks like there could be a sign posted on that road saying " Road Cosed, Laser Detection System in Place: Stay Out" :crackup:
:kewlpics:

Edit: I kinda like the one where we can see you standing next to your laser. :yh:

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand the question right.. Here is some white beams if that's what you asked for...

That's what I meant, yes. Would rep you if I could.

Still having all the fun I see. Thanks for sharing. Impressive! :drool:

Great shots as usual, Tero. I noticed what looks like beam separation in the last four photos. That could be refraction by the camera lens, though. Just thought I'd ask. :thanks:

 

[ArcticDude]

It's caused by those HDD platters I used. Those are giving "funky" reflection depending angle of beam hitting the surface. Platter has same kind of microscopic surface like DVD and CDs does. Also wind was shaking the tree where 1st mirror was..

EDIT
Scattering / diffraction is probably right word. You can see scattered light on snow in last few pictures

 

[paul1598419]

Okay. Well, that does make sense. I thought you were using FS mirrors.

Few daytime beamshots

Nice color on the beam! Which diode is that? Impressive.

It is a bit overdriven NUBM07E @ 4.5A

Oh, how I've missed your shots Tero.
Wonderful images my friend.
I'll have to go back and look through everything.

Errr.. There is quite lots of them :crackup:

 

[RB astro]

Even better.
I will get a drink and sit down and enjoy the show.

It sure is good seeing your name pop up on my screen again Andrew. :beer:

Interesting, it looks lighter than my 07, any chance it might be the camera? Because it a great looking color.

That looks a lot like my 477nm laser, Tero. I can't see it being pushed that high, though. Maybe 470nm. I just love that color of blue. Not a trace of violet in it.
