After a heavy fog the spider webs were covered in dew. The doomed insect looks like a pendant on a diamond necklace.

This is where I could have used a good macro lens. I was using my telephoto lens and having a hard time with focusing. Both auto and manual.

The spider built a star at the centre of this web. Shallow depth of field created by f/1.4. I changed it to cyanotype because it was a riot of colors. I'll post the original later.

It's all about careful planning and of course location, location,location in order to trap a descent meal !!!!!

Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

Have a safe and adventurous day dear Flickr friends !!!!!

ill + half term = lots of photos :D

More experimentation with backing up my lense

This web belongs (belonged) to a Spiny Orb Weaver spider. I say belonged because after a couple of weeks I finally reached a day where I forgot to duck and that was the end of that one! Happy to say she did rebuild ... and she IS in the middle in the shot, the camera just didn't want to focus on her. :)

Fog created a perfect backdrop and left dew drops on the webs.

Yesterday morning I noticed this smallish web in the garden. I set up the camera above the web, and placed the flash below. The resulting colors were a surprise - it looked like diffraction of some kind was going on. On the web (haha) I found that "The thin linear threads of spider webs occasionally act as optical slits, decomposing white light by diffraction. The resulting colors aren't as pure as those of refraction phenomena, as in a rainbow or in an ice halo....The diameter of the minute water droplets composing mid-level clouds is similar to the diameter of spider web threads -- a few microns or even less." epod.usra.edu/blog/2005/01/spider-web-diffraction.html

Happy Web Wednesday! Have a great day folks ;0)

Beginning of the change of season

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

The light caught this web just right, highlighting all of the amazing details.

The opposite of heatweb ;-)

The spider seems to have woven a new web outside our kitchen window. The double-paned window had been cleaned inside, but not outside. (The blurry dark vertical lines are the balusters supporting the railing around the deck.)

At the moment that I snapped this, the wind was causing the web to dance vigorously. When I looked at the image on the computer, I was surprised that the filaments had as much definition as they do.

Happy Web Wednesday, have a great day folks ;0)

Happy Web Wednesday have a good day.

The mist/fog was still swirling around as Archie and I headed off on his dogwalk earlier and a few cobwebs glistened in the diffused light.

This Web was trashed when this Hornet flew into it to steal this lunch! The Artist of the web came down to see off the intruder, took one look at the Hornet and quickly retreated up and out of the way! Once the Hornet had worked it's lunch free it flew off with it. Fascinating to watch. HWW
