I could loose myself in this image for hours. I just commented on another magneto-rheoscopic fluid post but I think these are amazing so ill probably comment on them all. I love the contrast between the spikes and the white surface beneath in your picture. I also LOVE the little shiny reflections you can see on the edge. Together it all captures what I love about this phenomena
This is so cool!It’s amazing that this is a fluid yet it looks so sharp and almost deadly. I like the use of a white background to give like to the texture of the fluid. It almost looks like a map of another planet.
This shot was great and super cool to compare the different physics we got in the different trials. Thanks for letting me add it to my report!
Wow, I love the contrast in this image. The plain, soft white, and the extremely sharp and harsh black. I didn’t know that ferrofluids were used in human prosthesis!
I like how unique of a ferrofluid this is, these are so jagged compared to the more smooth peaks that I have seen before.
I love that shape, I don’t know how you created it.
It’s interesting how highly concentrated ferrofluid behaves differently.
This ferrofluid looks awesome. You can tell it’s not vey dilute. It almost looks solid. Great thinking checking out the huge magnet. Sounds dangerous ;)
This image looks like an alien planet to me. With large obsidian rocks on a snowy landscape. I love the way you took the picture from above, it messes with the size perception and makes it look really big.
This is a very alien looking fluid. I never knew a fluid could be so sharp. It’s so jagged and sharp in the center, I like how it transitions to smoother and rounder shapes at the edge, showing the weakening magnetic field.
I really enjoyed this image because of how close you were able to get to the ferrofluid. The background and spike contrast brings out the “spikes” and “towers” well. Great job.
The perspective of the spikes is very unique. It almost looks like shattered acrylic
Nice angle of the ferrofluid! It’s cool to see all the detail of each spike and all of the space that was formed between each one.
I really like the view that shows the separation of the spikes in addition to being able to see how flat the spikes are is very cool.
