'Alien Pod' - Abstract Liquid Art Collection Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Capturing a photographic image of the exact millisecond that two waterdrops, that are travelling towards each other (one from above & one from below) at a speed that the human eye cannot record actually collide. We can see here the ‘Spout’ or ‘Jet’ projecting upwards to meet the next ‘drop’ of liquid before the actual collision.. The ‘Spout’ or ‘Worthington Jet’ is named after the physicist who discovered it in 1908. Arthur Mason Worthington (11 June 1852 – 5 December 1916 ) was an English physicist and educator. He is best known for his work on Fluid Mechanics, especially the physics of splashes, and from observing those, he pioneered techniques of High Speed Photography. Worthington’s pioneering work would later be overshadowed by the work of Harold Edgerton in the 1930’s. Improving on Worthington’s techniques, Edgerton’s high speed photography using a stroboscope could produce up to 3000 images per second. The most famous image that was captured using Edgertons tecniques, and easily recognizable & memorized was the 'splash' or 'Coronet' of a milk drop hitting a glass surface. That image has been used extensively in the advertizing Industry ever since.
