Speedy Spinners in a Water Drop

Photo date: February 16, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see an example of the orb centrifuge effect I have often photographed, in which orbs spin around rapidly inside a water drop, like test tubes in a doctor's centrifuge.

The photo below shows a less dramatic example of the same spinning effect.
