No, I just thought it was a rather peculiar image. The result of placing the camera face-down on the glass of a copying machine. (took me a while to figure out what it was)
The prettiest of 50+ attempts at photographing a droplet hitting the water surface. I guess this particular shape ("corona"?) usually either doesn't last very long or doesn't form at all, because it only showed up in the one photo.

Doesn't always show i guess... Maybe combination of substance, speed of the drop and height of surface-water?
The blob is insane, excellent. It feels even more interesting than the classic corona pictures.
You will achieve different results by varying the amount of water on the surface and by adjusting the distance from which you drop the water. Also, you probably know Harold E. Edgerton, he might be a great help on your quest.
Still, love the blob.

Hi,
I work for an environmental laboratory and I would like to use your water droplet picture for a water brochure. Is this okay. Please contact me at sarah@alloway.com
Edgerton unfortunately dies a few years ago. I teach high speed photography at my university and photographs of splashes are a classic assignment. You can see some of my efforts at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/exhibit-3.html
I'm getting a bit dizzy too... Made about twenty of these in total yesterday.
You could try moving further away from the monitor, that way you won't have to cross your eyes too strongly.

My first attempt at a lightsig turned out nicely! What you actually see here is the light of my camera's 4x3cm LCD screen moving through the air, captured in a 10 second exposure by Martijn's camera.
By the way, I could have sworn this sort of thing was commonly referred to as a lightsig, but the Google non-results seem to indicate otherwise.
Yes, and my birthyear was next to the picture wich looks like it has liquid Gold in it(1975). Not bad Milo, I'm born in august under the sign of the sun and gold being the material that fits the Leo best. Now I have to start believing in this crap because of you :-)

Hoi Milo(?),
Weet jij misschien waar ik in Nederland tinfolie van 0,1-0,2 mm kopen kan?
Het is voor de binnen- en buitenbekleding van Leidse flessen dus de dikte doet er niet zoveel toe.
Nee helaas, ik heb totaal geen verstand van tinfolie, ik heb alleen ooit een foto van een wat tinfolie-achtige verpakking gemaakt en die op mijn fotolog geplaatst, zoals je ziet. Ik kan je alleen maar succes wensen met verder zoeken :)
I see this rather odd-looking duck almost every day... It is almost completely covered in green feathers. Today it happened to be resting on the shore so I took some photos up close.
Tuuur: I think that's the one!
"[Cayugas] are best known for their plumage, which is a brilliant greenish-black. They are quite amazing to see in the sunlight."
That's definitely true for this duck...
OK now I'm confused... the Black East Indies looks almost exactly the same as well. But I still think it's the Cayuga because of its lighter beak colouring.
The article says: "Many females develop white in their plumage as they age". The duck in your pick has got white feathers too, so I'm fairly convinced it's a Black East Indies duck...
Good point. I'll keep an eye on it, see if it develops any more white feathers :)

This is much more brilliant in color than the Cayuga and East Indies. The cayuga is much bigger than this one I have both Cayugas and Mallards (the other ducks in the picture) Cayugas are a little smaller than a Pekin but the East Indies are about that size. Cayugas are the only Duck that originates in North America (Lake Cayuga, NY) I only know East Indies to be Domestic Call ducks In America not in the wild here.

yep, that is definitly a black east indies duck i have mallards, cayugas,east indies, muscovys, crested ducks, buff ducks, runner ducks, khaki campbell ducks, rouen ducks, and some others. East indies are the same size as mallards, which the bird in your pic also is. Plus, a cayuga duck cant fly like the east indie and a cayuga is about 3 times the size of a mallard. Oh another interesting thing to tell you, since you keep allards, is that i breed crested mallards. there neat and very pretty. They are a mix between a mallard and a crested blue runner duck. :) see ay:) hoped this helped

this is actually a norm,al thing that happens in the Black Cayugas and black East Indie Ducks as they get older in production and Exhibition bred Quality they start to develope white feathering on their bodies frowned apon by judges at shows but hens with white on them actually make the best and vibrant colored drakes (male Ducks) I learned this from Dave and Millie Hollderead here in Oregon and it has helpt me alot with those to breeds seeing as how I raise them both
hope this helps you in some way
email me if you have any questions on Waterfowl or Poultry
thanks

I like ducks.I got 3 of them a week or so ago.They are starting to loose their
fur.I have one question tho.Do cayuga
ducks have a yellow dot on thier head?
If they do just let me know.Thanks!!!!
Its a smaller version of the Cayuga. I have one and they are that color. It might be a mix of another smaller duck since cayugas are usually a bit bigger.

This could be an East Indies or a cayuga. Even though it is small, I have a couple of Cayugas that are not that big. You cannot always tell by size.

i have 2 black east indies and that one loks like a femalethats starting to turn white and is a little discolored
Hmm, I have a Cayuga, and it is too small to be one of those. Cayuga's colouring is green-black but a lot darker. I'm agreeing that it is a Black East Indie duck. The size would be right for it, as well as the colouring.
Hi, everybody.
I ran into this little discussion a while ago and was fascinated with the picture, so I kept coming back. Very unique-looking duck.
I was wondering though how long it would take before someone noticed that he has drake feathers.... In theory, only Cayuga females can get white feathers with age, but -- this beauty is definitely a mix, because both pure blood Cayugas and East Indies have black beaks and, I believe, feet, too. If my cayugas grow up to be half as green as this one, I'll be a very happy camper.
I wish they'd come up with a breed that looks like the little guy in the picture, I love it.

Milo, I found your pic while searching to find what kind of duck I'd photographed over the weekend. It had the same white markings on both sides from the eyes to the back of the neck and a little bit of white on the chest. Body was green with some black, blue and brown mixed in. I photographed it in Lake Arrowhead, California. There was another bird that was mainly white, black and brown with a touch of green and blue feathers that seemed to be with it. Think they might be a male and female of the same species. The ones I saw also had the light colored beaks that Ira pointed out were not dark like most of the pictures I've seen tonight of cayugas and black east indies.

Hi, your duck is a Black East Indie. The lighter bill colouring tends to occur in birds with the best green colouration. The white markings are probably due to scarring from other drakes holding him down in a fight, as they do like to catch hold of other ducks by the feathers on the back of the head and around the eyes. They can get a few white feathers in the 'bib' region, that's fairly normal for them too. Nice bird.
I believe that its a mallard. my aunt was talking to about a duck that she had.She got it from a mallard breeder. It looked just like a mallard baby but grew up to be all green like this duck.
the lady told her that its rare but it does happen, but not vary often.

The duck is a Black East Indian drake. His green sheen is of an excellent standard, however the white feathers around his head, which may be caused by age or fighting are incorrect. As is his pale (yellow?) bill - this incorrect bill colour is often associated with the beautiful green plumage colour. He is probably an ex-pet, and may have been dumped as he seems to have 'rough wing' - slight deformity of the wing. He is also a little too big to be standard.
Black East Indians; like all domestic ducks (excluding the Muscovy) are descended from Mallard ducks, familiar to most people as the common 'Wild duck'. Therefore their latin name including Family, Genus & Species would be Anatidae anas platyrhynchos.
Definitely an Black East Indie. I would guess an old female, as female BEI's age, they develop white feathers and drake-like plumage. The tail feathers do not have that drake curl to them, that is my main reason for thinking female.
If it is a drake, then it is most definitely a crossbreed, probably with wild mallards.
Again, too small to be a Cayuga, Cayuga's are heavy farm ducks, similar to a Pekin, that cannot fly.

that's not a cayuga. too small. it must be a west indie male. i had a cayuga and it was as big as my pekin ducks. also, that duck isn't dark enough. the cayugas are much darker than this. he's just too small.

the curly underfeathers on the tail prove that it's a male.

Looks like a Cayuga to me. We have bred lots over the years and now have just 2x left - both female. We know this as they have laid eggs but one has recently developed a green head and a curly tail feather just like the male. Our drake died about 3 months ago. Has anyone ever encountered this before? Duck menopause???

(Black East Indie)-I also forgot to mention that as ANY breed of duck ages it get white feathers mainly on the head not just cayugas! Also poor quality ducks may get white feathers also on its head so this ducks white feather may not be just from age. And about the bill that is the color you want a BLACK EAST INDIE to have Duh!!!

It is a black east indie. And just because it has drake feathers does not mean it's a drake. Female black east indies and cayuga ducks both get white with age. But, unlike other domestic ducks, they will also develop the curly tail feathers.

No, lots of definite answers by people very experienced in keeping and breeding BEIs who have correctly identified this duck as one. In addition, I notice the bird has a leg ring which would suggest it was deliberately bred by someone so more likely to be a pure breed, even if not to everyone's ideal of the standard.

how can you tall the difference in a BEI and a Cayuga. not trying to be a smart ass i really want to know because i have a duck that i thought was a Cayuga but it may be a BEI. what are some key features in telling them apart.
I breed and own both black Indies and Cayugas and that is most defiantly a Black Indie female.
She is too green to be a Cayuga and her feathers are not glossy enough.
The females develop white feathers from an early age whereas the drakes don't.

This is a cross between a black east indie duck and a call duck. it is a male, it has curled tail feathers. If it was a pure bred it wouldn't have the white streaks on its face.
it's either a mutation or the cayuga is getting old and it's feathers will be turning white. this is definetely a cayuga duck just with some white on it's head.
This has been very entertaining, with different people saying what it definitely IS or ISN'T,
What is IS 100% is a domesticated form of the Mallard - this could be a Black East Indie (most likely due to size) OR a Cayuga, which has either escaped from captivity OR it is a cross between domestic and wild mallards. It has drake tail feathers but the white feathers seen in older B.E.Is and Cayugas, interesting....
The fact it is rung suggests it was captive bred, so maybe that throws the cross-breed idea out of the window, but maybe it is just a pet quality/ non-sow quality B.E.I?
it is somebodys bird, it has a band on its leg. the curled tail feathers mean it is a male, and it is too small to be a cayuga, they are large meat birds, i have never seen an east indie get white streaks like that across the face either. it is probably a cross.
