You guys *have* to try this

[Putrio]

So, I haven't posted in a while, but I was sitting here at work after installing a bunch of router cards, and have these empty anti-static bags laying around...I took my blu-ray laser and pointed it at one, careful to hit a flat spot and not one that would reflect back at me...and the reflection it created on the wall was CRAZY.  I can't really explain it, but it's as if the plastic is flowing.  I only have the 3M bags...I almost wish I could record it to show you all.  It has the best effect if you hit the reflection on something white, like a sheet of paper.

*edit - I realize it's probably just because it's impossible to hold perfectly still, but the effect is still pretty neat

I believe it's called a lumia effect.

Yea, and actually it looks best when you *are* holding it still, like when it's mounted on a tripod.It also works well with black trash bags or whatever reflective plastic that slowly warps and melts under the action of the laser(which is what causes the warping projections).

very cool effect I first seen this when I bought my first green 125mw lab type laser.

Peace Pyro...
