Title is in reference to a post made a few days ago
(Video of location)
Spotted this on my way back to the carpark and ended up spending nearly an hour shooting it.
Shot on an A7ii with the Sigma C 100-400mm
Would love to hear any and all feedback.

Fingerprint
The natural complexities behind the development of the shape and form of the fingerprint is observed on a much larger scale in a pool of swirling bubbles found deep in the native NZ bush.
Gravitational Waves
A visual representation of an invisible energy. Gravity pulls and squeezes, distorts and defines.
The ‘waves’ of compressed and expanded bubbles are created by photographing physical waves in the pool on a low angle close to the ground.
Don’t have anything fun to say about this one. I does kind of remind me of bark off a tree and the way the lines kind of emanate from the bottom upward is representative of growth and development, but i’m lazy and can’t think of a way to put that succinctly.
Some of these remind me of electron micrographs we studied in college. Images with cellular organelles and membranes. I can see how someone would get fixated on these lines and shapes.
Totally! I love it, no frame of reference for size and scale.
I struggle to put it into words but I appreciate that you are reminded of such imagery and that abstract photography can be representative of the make-up of matter that we see with our eyes.
Michael,
Thanks for posting these versions. Much easier on the eye and therefore easier to enjoy and explore. I may have mentioned I’ve photographed and been enthralled by these foam patterns before and can appreciate the time spent exploring and photographing these.
Each are unique. I think the first is a bit busy and perhaps there’s a more intimate crop in there. I like the flow and patterns in #2 and the last one has nice lines and flow as well.
The only suggestion I have would be to play with the white point and try and move all the neutral gray tones to more white. It appears the exposure is correct, but I’m wishing the gray tones were more white - if that makes sense.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments and feedback Lon. I found it quite difficult managing the white point, in the BW conversion the leaves came out might brighter and took away from the patterns. I pulled it back significantly in an attempt to disguise the leaves in the patterns.
