Luckily this isn't competition, just regular fellows enjoying coherent photons.
-And way more fun than TV or video games

Hahaha, so true Tero, way better than TV or video games buddy.
Yes, I agree, I know I've neglected the Genesis RGB build and I really want to get it finished.
Problem is I've got a new interest in drones now too and I'm trying to combine my hobbies.
I find though that I run out of time constantly with all the things I want to do.
I know, I've promised to finish it and I will.
I really just have to bite the bullet and get it done.
The next week or so my work load seems to be easing so hope to do it then.

I will look you up if I ever visit for sure, it would be a dream come true for me, I haven't had a holiday for over 20 years. :cryyy:

I totally woke up at like 2:30 AM when my heater stopped heating, and i was surprised to see one of the very few instances of fog we get in the area. The air is usually dry and pure enough to make a huge difference in beam visibility vs other places, so it was a rare chance. Grabbed the 6 lasers on my desk, and went out into the cold. Totally left my camera with the scopes in another building though:cryyy:

Photos didn't turn out great without a tripod or decent camera, but it was at least cool in person with that much beam visibility and the foggy landscape.

Here's what I caught with some quick S7 shots:

Anyway, room is warming back up, so I need to try to get back to sleep.

Hey Riv, those are NICE SHOTS!
Thanks for sharing those!

I wish I could have prepared more. If I just had the DSLR ready to go and the laser mount, it'd be a lot nicer. Hopefully there will be some more fog or snow soon so that I can get a much better view. The background of the photo would have been awesome if you could see it. :yabbem:

Those are the first daylight photos I remember you showing, ArcticDude. It is very nice to see these as apposed to the dusk/night photos you have shown in the past. Thanks. + rep

LoL, Rich, I've been doing real good lately no M@C, means I haven't spent much. Guess it's time to buy a drone.

The beams kinda remind me of that 'old rickety' 532nm Bill sent me.

oke:

Your just in luck! I happen to have my Haz Mat license. Means I know how to properly dispose of "old rickety builds" that leak photons all over the place. I won't even charge you anything. I mean, you would have to pay shipping to get get it shipped to my house. But that not bad for proper disposal of such a dangerous unit. And you wouldn't even need to thank me. :crackup:

hahaha, that's very good, I like that Bob.
And I can deliver it to you with my drone, deal?
Save on shipping and Clearing Customs, etc. :crackup:

I'm so excited that you're considering a drone buddy, it's like I'm buying one myself, that's how excited I am for you. :wave:

@Rivem, wow, nice muti-beam shots. :beer:

 

[Rivem]

Haha thanks guys. If it wasn't 3 AM, freezing, and I had more clothes at the time, I'd have my DSLR and more lasers taped to that porch railing. :crackup:

Probably a few more weeks though. It's crystal clear tonight. Snow should bring fog

Fog does make some nice beamshots. And I know want you mean about the cold. I tried to get some shots but the cold chased me inside. :tinfoil:
But with the cold, should give us some longer run times which is nice for photographs. (when we're brave enough) Looking forward to your shots. Now if we could just get RB off his couch and to post some shots, life would be good. ( hint hint RB ).
