.... seriously? Wow... First of all, if it were possible to make tons of money with some sick beamshots I think laser hobbyists would be quite a bit richer on average than people here are. Second, if you're that worried, go ahead and certified mail your picture along with a picture of you taking the picture to yourself so you can prove you had it before I did and sue me when I use your picture to make billions. Third, if you're really, really that worried, just don't enter the contest!

I was simply trying to inspire something cool and get some cool pictures together for everyone to enjoy. I realize now that's something that's not really accepted here! Won't happen again.

I didnt mean to crash the photoshoot contest.

I was a victim once. I submitted a set of pictures that won a contest in Washington state. I got a nice dinner at a restaraunt & the pics went on to make the guy a lot of money.
I forfeited my rights and ownership of the images the moment I dropped those pics off at the desk and left the office.

LPF and Beam shots? My brain immediately thought this.

That kid's gonna die he keeps that up. He looks *sick* after finishing those shots

[kecked]

how about a shot of a 50W CO2 laser flaming a bird out of the sky? Time lapse to show the flame trail.

Not going to enter this competition.
I want to know what he is going to do with the pictures.
Secondly, I'm not fond of pointers, so I don't really care about the price.
