some "new" pics 2/7

Thanks Antharak & Shaken! I am looking forward to start photographing the new Dreamcatcher the day it arrives! I have some different ideas to try that are different than last time that should look visually appealing. I appreciate the fact you like one of my pics to use for your FB page. I will let you know when it arrives .

Paul - Thanks! I think all but four of this pics were taken with my 8mm fisheye. One day I should create a post for the RAMDOM PICs section on just fisheye shots, but not of lasers, but normal shots. I use the lens all of the time in normal applications and when used right (to avoid distortion) I get some very nice results

Oh, these pics are awesome! Butterflies, flowers... I love abstract art like this. Btw where did you get the optics? I'm considering to get some for my artwork as well.

Hi Radim,
Thanks! I get most of my glass spheres thru Amazon (a company called Amlong) The diffraction gratings are from Dragonlasers.

Thank you. I'll check Amlong there. From DL I have my Spartan, so maybe I'll ask Adam for current offer. I also plan to get some 473 nm and they have these in offer, but it does not seem to be on stock. Anyway these optics are quite expensive at DL, but seems to be high quality. I was looking for some sets as I'm not sure what I want and with various optics I already have I'm finding their use, so maybe I need some time for the decision. I looked on Optotronics (I think) and Thorlabs long time ago. Nice sets at Opto and a lot of stuff at Thorlabs - but prices are crazy.
