Interesting laser pictures

[Lexat8]

Evening All!
Was trying to take some promo shots with a mates camera the other day, failed. But did get this,which IMO, is rather beuatiful. Should anyone wish to add any other cool shots please do so!



Cheers

Couple of my failures, not quite as arty as your Lex:

1. Kind of looks like some aperture opening.



2. Bit of a speed effect?:

Yeah! But does it pop balloons and light matches?

Meh, burns through 2x4's nicely-


The large diameter holes are from my Ho:YAG head, which works pretty well on electrical tape

Also can burn through ATX power supplies, this picture is taken from the non-laser side, of the sparks that came out the back.

ooooh, very nice!
I'm looking for a small YAG to do material processing on my cnc machine, mainly engraving of metal (al & fe) and maybe some cutting of thin sheet or pcb copper. Any tips on what to look for/surplus stuff to sell?
