water drop photography – on dvds
This was something i did about 3-4 yrs back. Water drops on dvds and cd surfaces produced interesting patterns. What makes them more interesting is the different colors you get just by moving the camera a little to the right or left. The angle at which you view the drops dramatically changes the colors on them. and more so if you use a second dvd/cd to reflect some light on it.
The patters get more interesting when you crop the images further. i spent quite a bit of time with the crop tool on these set of images!
Here is the setup shot. (canon 20 and canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens mounted on a tripod and triggered either using a cable release or set on self timer).

and here are some shots from this setup:

In the ‘peacock feathers’ shot, you can see the reflections of the second DVD that actually gives the peacock feather look.
