~ " Black Magic " ~
" Adapt and Overcome " !
Out on a rare visit to the dock area inhabited by the swans and cygnets I have followed since last May '09 I found them in an area they rarely visit !
Stopping to feed them and observe four little tufted ducks (who are divers, not bread eaters) a mist came in from the river as the air temperature changed, after a short while previously unseen tiny spider webs (palm of a hand size) became visible as the mist settled on the webs in tiny water droplets !
The magic of nature ~ On Black
Despite a gentle breeze and not having a tripod I was quite pleased to obtain this shot by something I call " Adapt and Overcome " !
I chose a web in a corner of the dockside railings which became protected from the breeze by my kneeling body (6 secs to get down, 60 secs to get back up) !
From this I asked a rare passer-by if he would hold my coat over the railings (pleading with him not to drop the coat in the dock) to give me a dark back drop as without there was no shot against the vastness of the dock water ~
Thankfully he agreed and what you see is what you get ! (WYSIWYG)
