I'm curious to know to what extent is there any risk of eye damage from
viewing light from these low power lasers reflecting off  the photographic
subject, if any. In considering this question, assume that the subjects have
normal reflectivity, i.e., they are not silvered or polished so as to direct
the focused beam directly back into the eye of the photographer.
