Write Letters and Draw Pictures using a Laser

at 5:57 am. Filed under DIY Hacks

 

Setup your digital camera on a tripod, turn off the lights and get out your favorite laser pointer to make some brilliant pictures! It does take some practice to make a good image but when it works the results are great. Thanks to Laura from China for sharing. :)

"How to use a laser pointer to draw, to write and to record it? I think it is a very interesting thing. With the help of a camera with the function which could set longer exposure time,you could easily record what you draw and write with the laser pointers.The laser pointers include 405 nm blu-ray laser pointer, 532 nm green laser pointer, 473 nm blue laser pointer, 593.5 nm orange laser pointer.

And at that juncture, you will finally have the motivation to come clean to your friends and family and just move to Wisconsin already. [Picasa via Hackedgadgets] [...]

    We do the same thing in art summer camp but with homemade LED flashlights in different colors. We use a 20 second exposure at F16 and have multiple kids paint in different colors at the same time.
