Thanks Bowtie, diachi, CAli, Pman, Encap & Paul!
CaliKirk, Paul - I am fortunate to have a room dedicated to photographing lasers so something is always set up. Since it is only my wife and myself now it is safe to leave all my lasers in place. What I will do is maybe three days after work photograph for about an hour (10-20 pics) before the wife gets home. I will look at them and make minor adjustments and when I want to shoot again in a day or so, everything is set to go. I will finish off an idea every Friday night, and Saturday do all of the computer work. It is also nice to think of idea and having time to explore it over a week or so. Before I moved into my house a year or so ago, I photographed in my garage and had to set everything up and take it down on late Friday night. That was a lot of work!
Pman - It would be nice to meet fellow laser enthusiasts. I am still waiting for the day I meet someone in my business or personal dealings that knows even a little about lasers. In four years I have met no one.
