High Speed Photographs of Paint Splashes That Looks Like Flowers (6 Pics)

At first glance, these incredible images look like still-life portraits of some exotic flowers. But no; these are actually high speed photographs of colored water, captured in a way to mimic the shape of blooms, leaves, and even pots.

Artist Jack Long uses water mixed with thickeners and dyes and then uses an electronic flash to capture the right moment as the mixture falls through the air. His work takes months of painstaking planning and testing.
