Ha ha, just got that!Originally Posted by soforene
Thank heavens he didn't post it publicly.
I should have added I looked at mine from behind due to the fact I was hand holding the projector. Probably if I'd watched from the front it might have been more pronounced. I was playing around yesterday in the bedroom with the projector and smoke in daylight. In daylight could hardly see a beam from behind but it was still very nice from the front. I still think in my case oustide the fog droplets were too large to get a great result though. Could actually see large indiviual droplets in the beam of the green.
Man that is slow!

PS hoping for some more fog or misty conditions now my fence is up so I can go out and fire some beams in the garden. The garden overlooks a busy(ish) road so has never been an option for over 2 years since we moved in, but the fence was completed on Wed so now I can play!

If you need to ask the question 'whats so good about a laser' - you won't understand the answer.

New cam test
I was mildly foggy outside so it was time to test my new cam!!!
I love this cam!!!!!!!
Red laser 660nm 130mw (on my synrad meter)
almost dead violet laser 405nm at 63mW (on my synrad meter)
Exposure 1/4sec at F4
focal lengt 60mm
ISO 4000
Handheld
Senior Member
Wow, nice shot! The 405 comes out very well!

Long exposure has done you some favours there in the photo, thats very bright for only 130mw of 660nm. My 550mw of 650nm doesn't look that bright albeit I can't project pencil beams. I'm thinking perhaps the longish exposure has helped capture the beams better.
Senior Member
I personally think the ISO used is the helper :-)
The exposure is quarter of a Second ...thats not so long
The 405 has a pencilbeam (about 15mm)
the red was not properly focused and had a 15cm (6") beam at 20mtrs
this one is Half a second (exposure 1/2sec at F4)
Again handheld.
The ambient light gets brighter.
