A simple 5mW green laser on my bedroom wall, at night.
Dimmed beam

Full strength beam

Album:
http://mikeage.net/content/gallery/Misc/Laser/For some shots, the beam was dimmed by covering it with a piece of paper with a pinhole.
What did I learn? First, it's really hard to write while pointing when you can't see what you've written

Exposure times were 5s or 16s, ISO 80. Focus was set for infinity; next time I'll try using CHDK's manual focus (or a focus lock, but my wife was asleep off-screen, and I didn't want to turn on the lights...) No post-processing done except to crop out part of the image (and even that was done quite roughly). Note that the beam is actually green, but at night, it looks white even to the eye (especially on a white wall).
Maybe soon I'll clean up the area and experiment to try for some nice shots, but I just really like the way these came out, and decided to share them
