Some beamshost with a D300 and fog

I was playing with my dads new d300, and I took some pictures. The laser is a 30mW romisen L-030.

Enjoy

Looks awesome, but the best thing is that camera which made this pictures (NIKON D300, very expensive)

Yeah, my dad has been waiting for ages to get one, and I was kinda paranoid about burning the CCD

The problem with those super nice cameras are the huge learning curve.

I bought a camera with full manual settings just because I wanted to learn. It took me about 2 days of reading before I turned out some decent pictures.

Even after all that reading, a friend of mine (professional photographer) is amazing... he blows me away with what he can do with a camera. Totally owns me.

With that good of a camera, the 5th picture down of the beam exiting the aperture could have been way awesome. A lot of experimenting with settings and reading up on exposure/lighting, etc. could make that picture scream quality.

Same thing goes with my camera. It's quite new and I have not fully learnt about all the nice functions yet... Too many options.

My first beamshots turned out plain ugly and blurry, but they are much better now when I've got used to it a little bit. They are far from 1337 tho.

Someone who has a lot of experience when it comes to photography can take absolutley lovely pictures even with a cheap camera, while many others (like me) sucks even with a decent camera. The quality of the pictures taken depends just as much on the photographer as on the camera itself.

I bet an expensive camera like that doesn't use a CCD :
