I never did see B5, so I ain't no expert, but I'll assume that you want the beam to look more like the ones in freespace, right?

Well, first of all, what post-render proggie do you use? *please say Photoshop, please say Photoshop, please say....*  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Please use a proper camera? The fishbowl effect is not nice.

Minbari beams are a greenish-yellow color.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)  Minbari beams look nothing like Freespace beams. Need I say more?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Also, can you move the camera out as opposed to zooming out, it looks better.

Great pic though, even though I've never really watched B5

the beam should go narrower, not wider  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Talk to DC, he has a fairly easy way of doing it, and they look pretty good...

I don't even think that's possible.

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.
