Tempest in a Drop

Not entirely sure what I captured in this single frame image, but I had just finished using my super fine mist water sprayer to apply more small droplets to this coiled piece of copper wire. But I believe its the trails and streaks of tiny air bubbles mixing in with the larger drop of water. And shooting at such a slow shutter speed, I captured that movement of water inside the drop.

When looking this close at these tiny drops of water, you see things that you normally wouldn't ever notice. Small bits of dust inside the drops race around to find their positively or negatively charged spots that they are attracted to in this tiny little world inside this single drop of water. Its super cool to actually see. Close to impossible to capture in a single image.

I think I got lucky here!
