The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.

The first ray of dawn light penetrates the forest to illuminate a spider web covered in dew. Note the star the spider has woven into the web at the top.
I spent some time shooting spider webs and came up with this series, many of which are significantly modified post-production.
A spider built this between two shrubs so it is pretty well protected. I'm trying not to disturb it.
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.
One of many large spider webs near the marsh area of a small lake. I succeeded not walking into them....ok, most of the time. :) Always amazed at their beautiful design. Liked having some bokeh behind this one.
