I've been photographing spiders in the back yard for years, but this little one caught the sunlight so beautifully I was enchanted. Of course the wind was blowing, and the web and the spider were floating up and down, and the only angle I could get on it meant shooting directly into the sun. So as always, I just crossed my fingers, pointed the camera and clicked (and you can see a larger version here.)
I'm calling it Writing Light. :)
What a great photo! The colors in the web are strangely iridescent and yet the spider is ghostly white. Really cool...
ReplyDeleteThe sun gets all the credit for this one, Terlee -- I couldn't even see the spider or the web when I snapped the shot; the sun temporarily blinded me.
DeleteThat's really gorgeous (and I don't even like spiders!).
ReplyDeleteI think they're scary-beautiful creatures, Gypsy; like horses I love to take pics of them -- from a safe distance!
