These are just my first Beam Shots ever... I never could figure out how to get a good beam shot so I spent a bit looking through my cameras manual at the features :fightin:. Anyways here they are.

Laser Diode: Nichia A140 445nm (purchased from Stonetek.org) @ 940mA w/AIXIZ Glass 445nm Lens

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 6.0MP (few years old but still takes amazing macro, Lumix are the best IMO)


BTW I live in northern Pennsylvania so it was 16°F out in my garage, where I took these photos so the no intentional smoke or fog just my breath>:eek:

WOW, gotta say, for being your 1st pictures they came out quite good, actually!
I especially like how the beam looks kinda "textured" in your 3rd pic. Almost looks solid!
+ 1 internet for you!

@DJNY - Appreciate it. I am working on some nice shots of my 300mw LOC 650nm now. Figured out a bunch of new techniques since these shots. Less distortion and better beam consistency! Be up tonight prob so check them out if you can...
