~~Art of a Spider~~

Uploaded: August 13, 2006

Description

70-300mm lens, F5.6, 1/500sec, manual mode.

I'm not much of a nature photographer, BUT I couldn't resist taking a picture of this web. The way the sunlight was shining on it was beautiful.

FABULOUS!! Who would have thought you could get such a great image at night. Not sure if you converted This, looks like it, but the black sky makes the web look lit up silver.

Thanks SOOO much Nicole:)

Erica...THANK YOU;)....Actually I took this image during the day. The sunshine was beaming down on it. When I converted it to b&w the web got brighter & the b/g black. Then I burned & cleaned up what I needed to on the b/g & edges:) I want this blown up for my house...just cause I think it looks sooo cool & I haven't ever seen a perfect looking spider web before:) #3198216
