Water Drop Stock and Fine Art Photography
Image of water drop and splash
We offer the highest quality and widest selection of stock and fine art photographs of water drops and splashes. We also have milk drops and splashes. We can create custom images on assignment for advertising, branding, and coporate identity. We also sell high-resolution fine art prints. See our gallery.
Liquid Sculpture: Water art
Martin Waugh's Liquid Sculpture images are water art photographs
of fascinating liquid shapes that were created by dropping and
splashing water, or other liquids.
These sculptures are then photographed using high-speed
photography, since they last only a few thousandths of a second. Some
of the pictures are amazing, others relaxing.
Creating and capturing these amazing photos requires
careful manipulation of the materials and precise control of the
lighting and timing.
Liquid Art
Water photography, and other liquid pictures captures the
sensuous shapes of flowing fluids. There is something universally
appealing about the art of liquids flowing, running, or splashing.
They are beautiful, restful, and evocative. At times, they seem
like old friends you've never met.
Water Drop
A simple water droplet is beautiful, but when two drops collide, the varieties are endless and fascinating. The shapes are affected by many things: the physical properties of the liquid, such as surface tension and viscosity, as well as the timing of the drops and when the camera's shutter is opened and flash fired. Being experiments in fluid dynamics, they reveal the chaotic nature of fluid flow - it can be quite reproducible sometimes, and other times highly sensitive to initial conditions.
Places to learn more about water drops: Wikipedia discusses some about the surface tension of water and how it helps form drops. The
hydrodynamics of water drops are complex, and ever-fascinating for physicists.
A very clever device created a hundred years ago by Lord Kelvin uses
water drops to create static electricity
. Of course, NASA can't resist experimenting with
water drops in zero-gravity
. An interesting result recently showed up: if there isn't any atmosphere,
water drops don't splash on a dry surface.
Wendy W. Zhang from the University of Chicago presented an illuminating
paper on capturing liquid motion and water drops in Boulder in 2006.
Milk Drop
Droplets of milk make fascinating splashes. It was one of Harold Edgerton's lifelong pursuits to capture "the perfect" milk splash. His image of a drop of milk splashing on a red background is one of the best-known high-speed photographs.
