8/23/08 - Web Fountain

A spider web back lit by (shot directly into) the rising sun. Used a 1:1 macro lens with a 1.4X TC so this is larger than life size - the dew drops were barely visible to the naked eye. Straight from the camera after RAW conversion to jpeg - no Photoshop trickery.
Unexpected results include the faint outline of the shutter (darker area near the bottom of the image) and the dark dew drops with a bright dot (the sun) in the center. I've never gotten dark drops before.

Nikon D300
1/1000s f/11.0 at 105.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

What a wonderful composition and capture. It reminds me, in part, of tall grasses in a field on a sunny day.
