Weird Water Whirl

Photo date: February 18, 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 several orbs that seem to be spinning around very rapidly inside a water drop. It's another example of the orb centrifuge effect I have photographed nearly 100 times.

Spinning Orbs in a Water Drop

Photo date: January 10, 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 yet another example of what I call the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs spin very rapidly around the outer edges of a water drop, like test tubes in a centrifuge. See here for 91 other examples of this strange effect.

A Speeding Striped Orb

Photo date: December 19, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below was taken while photographing nothing but ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.

If you come to this blog often, you will know that the water drops I photograph have an eerie and preternatural tendency to appear very, very often in shockingly non-random and orderly ways, such as appearing to have faces, or appearing with stripes, or appearing in ring shapes.    Below we see two different examples of this weirdness. Below what looks like two faces, we see a striped orb that seems to be speeding at a great speed, in a circle. Below it are some other strange striped orbs.

This Water Drop Is Not Racially Segregated

Photo date: December 13, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The unaltered photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see a water drop that seems to have within it quite a few smiling orbs. But we also see a degree of "racial integration" -- for there also seem to be one or two yellow faces.

There seems to be some very fast orb motion on the left side of this drop, including some undulating motion. See here for similar photos.

Wet Wonders Speed Around in Water Drops

Photo date: December 14, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  In the first photo we see three water drops that each seem to have orbs speeding around inside them. The blue orb at the top has an unusual color.

On the same day I photographed the orbs below, one of which seems to be moving quite fast.

Rainbow Orb Above the "Toothy" Orb

Photo date: December 12, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  Near the top we see an orb that seems to have kind of rainbow stripes within it (I can see colors of purple, yellow, green, and blue). Below that orb is an orb that seems to have a toothy grin. On the left is a sun-like orb that also seems to have a smile (which you can see if you look closely).

Mysterious Spinning Orbs

Photo date: December 11, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a single drop of water that seems to have some orbs inside that are spinning very rapidly.  It's another example of what I call the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs spin around the outer edges of a water drop, like test tubes in a centrifuge.  See here for 85 other examples of this strange effect.

The Fast Orbs and the "Big-Nosed" Orbs

Photo date: December 4, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photos below were taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. The first one shows some water drop orbs that seem to have rather large noses.  The orange one looks the cutest.  See here for 278 similar photos.

The second photo (from October 20, 2015) shows orbs speedier than the ones above. We see two water drops that both seem to have orbs spinning around at a very rapid pace. It's another example of the orb centrifuge effect shown in these 84 posts.

Which Water Drop Has Faster Orbs?

Photo date: November 22, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see two water drops, both of which seem to show orbs moving very fast. Which one wins the speed contest? It's the one on the bottom, where we see an example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs spin rapidly around the outer edges of a water drop.  It's the same astonishing effect shown very clearly in this series of 81 posts.

The Smiling Orbs and the Speeding Orbs

Photo date: November 11, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The unaltered photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see an example of the orb centrifuge effect shown in this series of 80 photos, in which orbs are seen speeding around the outer edges of a water drop.  The orb on the right looks rather like some lusty lad, but the orb near the center has a slightly more feminine look to me.

Orange Smiley Spinner in a Water Drop

Photo date: November 6, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see yet another example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs are seen to speed very rapidly around the outer edges of a water drop, rather like test tubes in a centrifuge.  See this link for 79 other examples of this astonishing effect.

Orb Changing Color as It Speeds?

Photo date: October 25, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  Below what looks like several orb faces, we see an orb that seems to be speeding as it changes color from orange to white.  Quite the little trick!

This is another example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs are spinning around the outer edges of a water drop. See this series of photos for 77 other examples of this strange effect.

Aqueous Magic

Photo date: October 16, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a few pleasant-looking orbs. An orb near the bottom appears to be moving very fast.

Mystifying Motion Inside This Water Drop

Photo date: October 21, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see a water drop in which orbs seem to be speeding around very quickly.  For similar examples of speeding orbs in water drops, see this series of 76 photos.

These orbs are moving so fast it is hard to see the details inside them. The photo below from the same day shows features inside the orbs more clearly, leaving us with a very cheerful result.

Water Drop Speeder Leaves Behind a Striped Streak

Photo date: September 10, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  In this strange photo, we see a strong indication of an orb in a water drop moving very rapidly (which is also shown in my 73 photos showing the orb centrifuge effect). But this photo has something odd I've never photographed below. The "streak of motion" of the orb has a strange dark stripe.  Another weird thing is that three of the orbs have little stripes on their tops, as if they were wearing headbands.

A Blue-Green Face Among the Fast Orbs

Photo date: September 22, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We seem to see three smiling orbs, including one with a blue-green face.  See the video here for more examples of this strange water face effect.

Speeding Orbs in Water Drops

Photo date: September 17, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  We see three water drops, each of which seems to have within it a rapidly speeding orb.  We also seem to see a cheerful orb face in two of the water drops.

Below is another photo from the same day showing a similar effect.

Wish I Were As Fast As This Orb

Photo date: September 7, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background.  Inside a water drop, we see an orb that seems to be moving around at an astonishing speed.  Call it the Usain Bolt of the water drop orbs. Notable also is the smile of the guy on the far right.

Speeding While Changing Colors?

Photo date: July 28, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this photo from yesterday showing a drop of pure, clean water, we seem to see two smiling orbs at the top. At the bottom of the drop, we see something almost as interesting. It looks rather like an orb that is moving in an arc motion, and changing colors as it moves. Or perhaps it is several orbs arranged in a way that mimics a single orb in motion. We will never know.

Mysterious Motion in a Water Drop

Photo date: November 15, 2014.  Photographer: Mark Mahin.

In this previously unpublished photo of a drop of pure, clean water,, we see yet another example of the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs seem to speed rapidly around the outer edges of a water drop. We seem to see two orb faces in the middle, as well as a barely visible face on the left. See my posts labeled "orb centrifuge effect" for 65 photos of this phenomenon.
