Default First try with red laser

Used a red laser pointer for light source. Had it reflect and refract off an old halogen bulb reflector. Shot the light as it hit a white 3 X 5 index card. Has anyone tried a green laser?

I've seen people try this before, I think with a bit of practice you could produce some really cool effects.

looks like you could've used a faster shutter speed though, what we're your main settings for these?

But I might have to work some with this...just gotta get me a laser pointer first!

Both shots were taken with the A95 in Auto Mode and the flash turned off. This resulted in f4.9 at 1/8 at full zoom (12X). The optical zoom is 3X and digital is 4X. Please post some of yours when you get the laser pointer.
