Moiré pattern

Moiré is a photographic effect that happens when a detailed or repeating pattern in the subject is overlaid with the pattern of pixels on a digital sensor. This can happen when taking close-up or long-exposure photos. The combination of the two patterns results in the formation of a third, distinct, and frequently undulating moiré pattern. The effect is mitigated thanks to the optical low pass filter inside the camera.
