Happy Mid Autumn Festival!

[zerafiel]

For those of you who celebrate Mid-Autumn, here's a new take on how to light your lanterns!

First experiment with dx 30mW green

Nice eerie glow

Aha not overexposed.

My red wants in on the fun but looks pinkish!

Red like it should be.

Red + green = yellow

More yellow but my green is just too bright.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Enjoy the mooncakes but don't go pointing your lasers at the moon!!!

Actually nobody really goes around wishing other people happy mid autumn.

It's a chinese festival during the full moon at mid autumn where we go out admire the full moon and sip tea(in olden times) and eating yummy yummy mooncakes.

The kids go around carrying lanterns and playing with candles, sparklers, and other pyrotechnics.

Heh maybe 20 years from now they will play with lasers during mid-autumn.

Ok....I had read that wikipedia.....

Anyway...Nice photos...neat idea combining beams for different color combos!!

Did the "Garfield" lantern cost you more than a plain one?!?!

;D ;D ;D

Well, no idea actually. The lanterns usually come without any designs. A friend sent it to me for fun but nobody celebrates it here in the States.

About combining beams? Does anyone know how to combine 3 beams of different colors? Pseudo mentioned something about not being able to use two beam combiners but how exactly is one suppose to combine 3 beams then?

Can't wait to combo my violet beam in too!
