When I saw Sanwu had a 505nm my first thought was to get one to add to the different frequencies I have so I can attempt to photograph a ten frequency rainbow (405, 460, 473, 505, 520, 532, 589, 593.5, 638, and 650nm). Here are my first attempts at photographing them all together. The first few are just shooting for the beams. The 405nm in these is not visible enough and it takes away from the overall picture. I eventually figured out how to make them appear correctly in later pics in this post. Next I used two long mirrors to bounce the beam around. Then I tried shooting all of the beams thru a prism and got a few decent shots. They look a little chaotic as it was difficult to position that may lasers to come out of the prism at the angles I wanted. The next idea was to use one long mirror and bounce the beams back toward the lasers. There is one shot here of that. There are many from this sequence that came out good. The 405 is now more visible and the colors are accurate and exposed properly. Since all was well, I took away the mirror and got some fairly accurate photographs of a ten frequency rainbow, which was my objective.
Something I hardly ever do is use my lasers outside of the "laser" room. As a whim I blasted some fog in my basement and photographed some lasers going thru the basement.
Now it was time to be creative. All of the rainbow pics up to this point had the lasers positioned one on top of the other vertically. I wanted to shoot them horizontally so I repositioned everything and placed mirrors over the entire surface of the table with the beams about six inches above. I set up a few rows of hematite sphere magnets to create some "curves" to all of the straight lines. There are some really nice pics in this sequence too. When I was finishing up I had my fisheye lens on and with all of the fog in the room and white light. I put the camera up high looking down and the last pic in this post is that. A very ominous looking room!
I really like how the horizontal laser / mirror set up turned out and that I what I will continue to explore in the week ahead. Enjoy
