Recently on vacation we visited a dripstone cave in Syrau, Germany. Apparently someone thought a cave in itself wasn’t exciting enough and it should have a L.A.S.E.R. show at the end of the tour. It was both jarring and impressive.
Here: Have a laser to the face.

You are either very brave or loaded with cash to point your camera at the lasers 
I have to admit I didn’t think for a second whether my sensor might get roasted .
(but this photo captures what the beginning of the show felt like very well:
at least it isn’t evil…

I think it’s hard to come up with a different color processing, so I just went nuts to see what would come out in b&w
Hah that’s funny, suddenly it looks like looking into a tunnel with train tracks.
I wonder if this one captures the emotions of the light show?

I would be more concerned about my organic sensors:
Using your camera as a shield is a worthy sacrifice indeed!

where does this horizontal patterns in the upper half come from?
I’d suspect it’s the rolling shutter effect from fast flickering, but idk what camera / shutter mode that was…
I think to. I shot with silent shutter and the readout on the A7 III is pretty slow.

An opportunity for me to do the ‘wrong’ thing, because Darktable allows me.
btw I couldn’t get the centre of the lights, and the diffuse patch above them, smooth at the same time with highlight reconstruction.
I suspect some type of read-line oversaturation. But I do not know much about the protection circuitry in CMOS imaging sensors. These horizontal lines reminds me of many linear defects that I ran across in my semiconductor days.
