_Please Vote For Me in the Wicked Lasers Contest
Hello Instructables! This is my entry for the Wicked Lasers Contest. I am entering because I have always had a fascination with lasers, and would love to be the owner of on of the high powered burning lasers that are out of my price range! So heres how I got the idea: I have seen quite a few instructables on light art, where the artist stands in front of the camera and waves a flashlight or L.E.D. in front of the camera, and this is basically the same thing, just with a laser! All you need is a laser, a camera, and a tripod. Set your camera so that you can adjust the exposure time, and make sure you will have enough time to draw the entire image. It is very difficult to get used to, so don't get too frusturated right away! I found it almost impossible to draw a straight line!
Attached is a pic of me testing it.
It says 'Steve'. Honest :P My writing skill apparently isn't as good as yours, haha.
No doubt I could play with the settings but this is fine as a proof of concept :)
How many tries did it take before you wrote 'LASER' that clearly?
You should know that for the laser contest you'll need to use an actual laser in the Instructable in order to be eligible to win.
Thanks for sharing this :)
