First try at posting pics

Did some photo experiments with detergent in water with a 405nm, ( says <5mw), pointer with a cut gem style amethyst crystal as a target. Thought I'd share them.




Hope you liked them, please forgive quality still learning how to work with the camera. :undecided:

The shots are very clear, nice job!

Thank you!
The jug is not the best, has labels, it's plastic etc. So I'm thinking of a 15gal fish tank some time soon.

:thanks:

I have tried suspending a crystal in regular drinking glasses, wine glasses, Pyrex dishes , etc and have gotten nice results using water, olive oil and some other liquids. The beams coming out of the enclosures look the best, keep on shooting

Try dripping some highlighter ink in water

When i had my 1mW 405nm and i shone it through our fish tank the beam would be green in the water I am seriously not joking.

I get a faint green in my tap water.
Does fish poop have phosphates in it? Have to look that up.

No idea haha

Just checked, yup fresh water tanks can have high amounts of phosphates.
Who would have thought? :thinking:
