Day of the Diamond-Shaped Orb Veils

Photo date: September 29, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. On this day I kept getting diamond-shaped versions of the mysterious objects I call orb veils.  Here is the first photo, showing two such diamond-shaped veils on the right.

Here is another photo showing two more of the diamond-shaped orb veils.

Here is another photo showing three more of the diamond-shaped orb veils.  Notice that in this photo and the previous one we have a congruent "stack" of these strange things.

 Here is another photo showing more of these diamond-shaped orb veils, seen more from the side (along with some equally baffling orb crescents at the top).
