The web was strung between two wheelie bins and the other bins completed the background colours. I liked the bokeh in this shot.
Walking with Wiki in the morning field today - she found this wee web, about 1.5 inches wide (38.100 cm). All of it is below. Both much nicer seen large, thanks.

Colorful rhythms in the breeze
Web strands shot during wind movement and under bright conditions provide an optical spectrum feast, due to waves of light being scattered by the silk - diffraction - speed of the shutter, and quantity of softness from a softly focused lens, i.e. not focused sharply on the web threads at any given moment.
Much of what I capture is by trial and error and a good deal of luck, not judgement, as I react spontaneously to these intriguing opportunities. The light however, has to be right.
10 shot focus bracket of a nursery web spider. Shot with OM1 and Olympus 60mm lens and godox mf12 flash.
A spider built this between two shrubs so it is pretty well protected. I'm trying not to disturb it.
The filaments are outside our double-paned kitchen window, which had been cleaned inside, but not outside. At the moment that I snapped this, the wind was causing the filaments to dance wildly. I was surprised that the image actually had any defined lines.
“This World” by Mary Oliver
I would like to write a poem about the world that has in it
nothing fancy.
But it seems impossible.
Whatever the subject, the morning sun
glimmers it.
The tulip feels the heat and flaps its petals open and becomes a star.
The ants bore into the peony bud and there is a dark
pinprick well of sweetness.
As for the stones on the beach, forget it.
Each one could be set in gold.
So I tried with my eyes shut, but of course the birds
were singing.
And the aspen trees were shaking the sweetest music
out of their leaves.
And that was followed by, guess what, a momentous and
beautiful silence
as comes to all of us, in little earfuls, if we’re not too
hurried to hear it.
As for spiders, how the dew hangs in their webs
even if they say nothing, or seem to say nothing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe they sing.
So fancy is the world, who knows, maybe the stars sing too,
and the ants, and the peonies, and the warm stones,
so happy to be where they are, on the beach, instead of being
locked up in gold.
Foggy days are among the best for photography. If you find the perfect spider web and are lucky enough to be there when the first rays of sun finally break the fog you will see hundreds of dewdrops shining in the sun like pearls and an explosion of autumn colors in the background.
Los días de niebla se cuentan entre los mejores para la fotografía. Si encuentras la telaraña perfecta y tienes la suerte de estar ahí cuando los primeros rayos de sol rompen por fin la niebla verás cientos de gotas brillando al sol como perlas y una explosión de colores de otoño al fondo.

This was shot in total darkness. I used a flashlight to get the focus. Only shot I have ever made with a flash, so far.
