Tag: Hydro Droplets

It has been some time since I started this project of photographing water droplets on glass – and thus far I have only managed one image. Until now. Here is the second image and, with an upgraded photography studio, I now have much more control over the process which will hopefully produce some interesting results.

There are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet, and it is considered to be the root of most modern European alphabets used today (even the word ‘alphabet’ is derived from the first letter). It has been in use since the 8th Century BC. It is still used today, albeit usually as technical symbols. Each image in the Hydro Droplet project will take the title of one of these letters.

The basic premise of Hydro Droplets photography is that a droplet (or sphere) of water will refract an extremely wide-angle view of its surroundings (similar to a fisheye lens). By controlling the position of multiple droplets, fascinating patterns can be created, both by the droplets themselves and by the view that they refract.

This is the first of a series of 24 Hydro Droplet images, each of which will be titled with a letter of the Greek alphabet.
