Greetings and Check out my Laser Art!

[IrradiantMind]

Hello everybody!

I am eager to begin learning all about Optics, Photonics, and of course Lasers. In my college studies i just began to touch upon the physics behind coherent light. However i was able to harness it to make some fantastic art which i hope you all can enjoy!

Check out my website:
Irradiant Art

I've just begun a career as an artist and part of what i do is manipulating coherent light via optical tools to create abstract images. Now i may be a newb when it comes to building lasers and electronics but i do know a thing or two about what they are capable of. I hope that this fantastic forum will provide me with the support i need (considering all i've read so far im very impressed). While at the same time i hope to help others in accomplishing amazing things with light.

So bear with me. I may be one of those slow artist types; but, i really do love science and i just want to learn enough about electronics to build my own lasers.

Howdy and Welcome to the forum :wave:
Have fun and be Safe

Wow all those pictures are black and white, where is the color, I doubt if you had
a white laser there to make these pics with so how about showing some color.

I use 8x10 B&W Negatives. One day when i get R G B lasers and build a beam combiner I'll start using color film. But for now a monochromatic source calls for B&W Film both practically and aesthetically.

Woah those pictures are awesome!

Really interesting patterns, what exactly did you reflect them off?

Keep up the good work!

I'm not one of those stupid hipster people that think black and white is the ultimate thing in photography because "retro&vintage must be cool, always", but in this case, it's way better without color.

It's way more aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes reminds me of X-ray radiograms, even transmission electron microphotograms or deep sky objects... or just smoke in the dark room illuminated by a lamp.

Very cool, IrradiantMind.
