laser photography

[steviobee]

So, lasers being the tricky buggers to photograph I was wondering what settings people use? I have just bought a canon 600d and a 50mm f1.8 lens for lower light stuff, I am also new to photography so any advice gladly taken...
I do also have a 18-200mm lens but prefer the 50mm one.

You can see some of my pictures in the link below. I'd have to look at the exif data to see what the settings were.

A custom made one I bought from another member here.

Here's the settings and hardware I used.

Canon 50D
Canon EF-S 10-22
f/3.5
1/8 second
ISO-800
10mm focal length

No flash with plenty of fog in my garage.

Thanks DrEvil, seems a good starting point for me, those pics look great!

One thing i would recommend is to just play with it, manual settings and just do random stuff, just don't make the mistake i did with an other camcorder and hit the beam dead on, even a modern camera can be damaged by that, you will need a decent tripod or something to set the camera on
