Thousands of Orbs Holes, All on the Left

 Photo date: October 9, 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 I got (in almost all of 800+ consecutive photos) orbs with holes on the left side of the orb.  None of these orbs had holes in any other part of the orb. Below are some examples.

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  We see below a three-part pattern that persisted through almost all of hundreds of consecutive photos.

Hues and Holes

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background. We see a simple two-part pattern consisting of two holes.

A Two-Part Orb Pattern

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 many examples of a two-part orb pattern consisting of a large hole on the left, and a much smaller hole or ring near such a large hole, always to the right of it. Below are ten examples.

The Circular Orb Holes Turned Into Half-Circles

I took the photos below while photographing only ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling in front of a black featureless background.  At first on this day I got hundreds of photos showing orbs with a circular hole, always on the right part of the orb. Below are some examples.

Then, as so often happens when I photograph falling water drops, there was a kind of pattern transformation. The long series of circular holes turned into a long series of semi-circular holes that appeared in the same spot of the orbs.  Below are some examples.
