some pics taken 8/8/14

For these pics I tried to get a little more elaborate in my set up to try to get some nice effects using my 8mm fisheye lens (and other normal lenses). In the second part I suspended a mirror and used fan fraction gratings (reflective & transmission) to get many beams. Some very intricate patterns were created and the overlapping of many different color beams created even more shades of colors. The lasers I used were 2-405's, 2-450's, 2-473's, 2-520's, 2-589's and 1-650 and 1-638. I enjoy the effect of seeing the beams curved, and have gotten better (after using the lens for a few weeks now) in manipulating the distortion caused by the fisheye lens. Enjoy.

I'd never been a fisheye fan but the bending beams.....wow. Good job man! I love it!

^^^Lol I was just about to comment about Bruce defying the laws of physics! Light in his world doesnt travel in straight lines... Great pics Bruce and +1 if I can. :beer:

Mr Bruce, you should really consider building or buying a laser projector. I'm certain you could do some interesting things with it.

Awesome photography and very creative beam manipulation ! Thanks for posting those !
