pics 11/16

Here are some pics submerging my glass sphere in water (very unspectacular), using 405nm's and uranium marbles in a few, and a new "Apple" crystal I picked up at the Empire State Building Observatory store during the week. Also used in a few were the gypsum I got from Skeez and quartz I got in Mexico. I did try something different in suspending small mirrors (along with my 24"x3" mirror) off the table on my ring stands and I think that has potential in the future. Enjoy.

Really like how your showing the mounts and setup as well as the "cropped" pictures. Really inspiring. I found myself getting diffraction gratings just because of your pics.

Oh I was planning on ordering some from dragon lasers. An order up to 8 gratings has the same $18 shipping. If anyone would like to go in and save on some shipping, that would be great for everyone. Jus let me know and we can work something out .

I yearn for 589, 473.

Spectacular mirror and crystal play once again, Bruce:beer:. God, how much do I envy you the yellow you've got there. The crystal apple together with the obelisk shaped crystal create an enjoyable laser beam atmosphere, they do indeed. Basically any object capable of reflecting and redirecting laser beams must be a very good candidate for photo-shooting, and the ones you've used this time turned out damn well!

Lovely weekend showtime:gj:.

EDIT: agreed with Tmack, 473nm and 589nm are missed so much on my side.

What is in the glass?

Hey,

Tmack - PM

Gismo - I am lucky I got my 589nm 5mw (and 593.5 6mw) about a year ago since it seems to be such a problem getting this GB finalized. I hope for both our sakes it happens. A 473nm will be mucher easier to get I think. I got one in Offroads 2nd GB, a 30mw. But it seems Jetlasers has some real nice more powerful ones. I may have to get one in the future. At the Empire State Bldg store they had crystal renditions of the building about 12" high for 2 to 300 dollars, out of my budget, but I was drooling knowing what kind of neat stuff I could have done with them photographicly

Behur - In the water with the glass sphere are uranium marbles, which glow green when used with a 405nm, or any ultraviolet light source. Try using the search engine on this forum or typing Uranium marbles into Google and you will see there are many places that sell them.

Hwang - Thanks as always
