Was wondering what other hobbies as well as lasers the LPF membership is into. Think we had a thread like this a while back, but many members have come and gone since then, so time to do it again. :cool:


If there are any hobby crossovers that are very common or popular, maybe we can add a section here on LPF for it like we have for Flashlights, LEDs, and Non Coherent Lights. :cool:


Other hobbies I am into:

Amateur Astronomy
Photography
Anime Drawing/Anime Figure/Merch Collecting

Astronomy - I have amateur pictures of Jupiter, Saturn, Venus and an attempt of Mars

Technology - I’m a school technician so it’s only natural I’m into technology and material processes. 3D printing, CNC, Laser cutting etc.

Minerology and Gemology (my current big one asides lasers) - My recent obsession includes getting ore materials for different periodic elements, collecting minerals usually with optical phenomena, and collecting the rarest gemstones on Earth (both rough and faceted)

Minerology has a crossover with lasers as many lab created crystals are based on natural occurring minerals but with slight tweaks to dopings or chemical formulas. Examples like YAG (Garnet), Ti:Sapphire (Corundum), Ruby (Corundum), Alexandrite (Chrysoberyl)
