I have always admired the beauty and artistry of spider webs. It is so amazing to me that they can create such intricate patterns out of bodily secretions. I stumbled upon this beautiful little web on Thursday at Huntley Meadows Park and was thrilled that I was able to capture an image of it. I encourage you to click on the image for a closer view of the web design.
In order to make sure that the web did not disappear into the background completely, I deliberately underexposed the image, and focused manually on the web—there was no way that my camera’s autofocus would focus on the web.

Very nice! Like you I find them beautiful and am always amazed at how the spiders can produce them.
The lighting makes for a very dynamic image.
Thanks, kenne.
Did you auto focus a long, or macro lens for this ? You captured great details here.
I manually focused my 150-600mm zoom lens for this shot at 150mm (on a monopod) with settings of f/5.0, 1/400 sec, ISO 320, and minus 2.3 stops of exposure compensation.
Thanks 👍. Spider webs are notoriously hard.
Years ago I had an amazing morning when I was able to capture images of a pretty good number of impressive spider webs in the early morning light. https://michaelqpowell.com/2015/10/22/early-morning-spider-webs/
