Prepare to have your mind blown. It took Redditor smsilton two hours and about 150 shots to capture the above photo of an MC Escher painting as seen through a water drop. “The hardest part was focusing,” he explains. “In the set up picture you can see a piece of string above the eye dropper. I would let that hang down off the eye dropper and focus on that, then move it and squeeze the dropper and the shutter at almost the same time. I have like 30ish more pictures with the drop clearly in the shot but the sketch behind it isn’t in focus, this was the clearest one I got.” Click through to check out a closeup, along with a behind-the-scenes shot of how he set up the image.
