Have you ever spilled water on your phone? Have you noticed the pixels magnified by the water? I have and found it fascinating, therefore tried to capture the effect.

Below is a very simple composition of water drops on a screen. The idea was to capture the pixels on the screen when enlarged by the water drop. Couldn’t quite reach the desired effect, but still managed to take an interesting photo to add to my macro collection.

This reflected the window and, when enlarged, the water drop looks like a molecule. Quite pleased with the end result.

This is the pixels effect I was after…

Through the water you can still see the detail I was looking for, but the colours are not so vibrant through the camera lens.
