Strange Lines and Circles in the Orbs

Photo date: August 30, 2020. Photographer: Mark Mahin. 

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see some orbs with many little circles inside them, and in some cases the circles seem to form into lines.

A Three-Part Orb Pattern

Photo date: August 27, 2020. Photographer: Mark Mahin. 

I took the photo below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see a three-part orb pattern consisting of a slight notch at the top, a ring-like feature below that notch, and a larger circular feature below the ring. The pattern was relatively short-lived, but persisted for more than 10 photos.

A Long Streak of Holes

Photo date: August 21, 2020. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  On this day (among other astonishing wonders) I got a pattern consisting of a hole on the lower left of each orb.  Such a pattern persisted throughout almost all of more than a thousand consecutive photos. Below are some examples.

The "Notch and Calzone" Pattern Grew More Complex

Photo date: August 21, 2020. Photographer: Mark Mahin. 

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  On this day (among other astonishing wonders) I got a pattern consisting of a faint calzone-like shape on the left, and a notch on the right.  Such a pattern persisted throughout almost all of more than a thousand consecutive photos. The pattern (which had this pattern as a predecessor) started out in the state shown below:

Eventually (after thousands of orbs had appeared with such a pattern) the pattern grew more complex, and had the addition of a kind of a wing-like feature on the right, as we see in the photos below:
