Uniformity of Their Indentations

Photo date: January 28, 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 more than 1000 consecutive photos showing orbs with a similar-looking indentation,  a kind of curved indentation on the top left of the orb.  Below are some examples.

My Home Page Is Now Richly Visual

On my site www.markmahin.com I have links to various blogs, photo collections, videos and books I have produced.  I realized today there was a shortcoming of the previous page design: even though there were links to several different slideshows and photo collections (such as my Facebook photo colleciton and my Instagram photo collection), there was no interesting visual on the page.  I imagined a "too lazy to click" person reaching the page, taking a quick glimpse, and saying, "I don't see any interesting photos here." So I updated the main page to have an automatically running slideshow showing about 100 of my most interesting photos. You can see it by going to www.markmahin.com and scrolling or swiping to get to the bottom of the page.

Incidentally, for page-loading-time reasons I have split up my "Massively Repeating Orb Motifs Arising from Falling Water" post into two posts accessible from the "Key Posts" list at the top right of each page of this blog.

Orb with a Winding Stripe

The photo below shows a mysterious orb I photographed indoors. See here for 700+ other photos I have taken of mysterious striped orbs.

An Oval and Circle Pattern

Photo date: January 29, 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 a bunch of orbs that all have the same pattern, consisting of a large oval hole, and below it a smaller circular hole (sometimes only half visible) near the bottom right edge of the orb.  The pattern persisted for hundreds of consecutive photos.

New Video: Speeding Orbs of 2019

The video below shows 40+ photos I took of mysterious speeding orbs, which I photographed mainly in 2019.  I took all of the photos in clean dry air, on days on which I observed no flying insects.

See here for quite a few other videos I have made compiling photos I took of mysterious speeding orbs.

We see below a mysterious orb I photographed indoors.

A Double Hole Pattern

Photo date: January 29, 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 a bunch of orbs that all have a large oval near the center, and a smaller hole underneath and to the left of such a hole. This pattern persisted throughout hundreds of photos.
