10,000+ Tombstone Shapes in Orbs, Some "3D" (Part 1)

Photo date: September 28, 2021. 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 I got a total of more than 10,000  tombstone shapes in orbs.  Such a shape appeared multiple times in most of 3300+ consecutive photos. In some of these photos we see a kind of 3D effect in which the tombstone shape seems to have depth, about the same depth as an actual tombstone might have.  The effect occured by a positioning of two flat-looking orbs (both with a tombstone-shaped hole in them) in a particular way so that the "tombstone" seems to have a kind of depth. I will draw attention below to the photos in which this 3D-effect seems to occur. 

About half of all tombstones have a flat top, and the tombstone shapes here have a flat top. See here and here for a series of photos I took on day showing rounded-top tombstone shapes in orbs. 

In the next photo we see an example of the 3D effect, with the tombstone shape on the right having about the same depth as an actual tombstone.
