Water - MindStormPhoto

There are all photographs taken in my home studio in both Berkeley and Cuenca based around water. Many involved throwing water around, or exploding a glass full of liquid. To prevent total chaos, I placed a child's inflatable wading pool in the studio to collect the excess. it was still often a mess...

Two drops of water colliding, with second drop striking just as first drop plume is at its peak

Sometimes the plume will result in a drop of water being released above the main plume. When the second drop strikes that plume, you can get results like this one.

Before a drop forms a plume, it first forms a 'crown.' This shows that time, roughly 150 ms before the plume is created and reaches its peak

Orange Bell Pepper Dropping Into Water

A single drop of water falling into a pool of water first forms a crown, then a spire, before disappearing. This entire sequence is roughly 1/100 sec long.

I heated and cooled a spot on the glass to blow a hole in it, then photographed pouring wine into the broken glass.

Part of a series where I yanked a glass full of wine down, and photographed the liguid as it came spilling out.
