This involved a lot of bottom scraping on the gravel driveway as it was very low down. Half the time I was shooting blind so quite pleased with this one!
Awesome shot! I think there's always one or two shots where you earn your 365 stripes by contorting or climbing into a precarious position! You get a gold star for this one!
@maggiemae Hey, at least you could get up ; ) It is getting harder and harder for me to get up. Hate to think what it's going to be like in a few more years.
The length we 365ers will go to to get our shots. Great job Maggiemae. It paid off. This is a fantastic photo. Great composition and POV. The lighting on the web is beautiful.
@hjbenson I've found that as they are so hard for a camera to focus on, I focus on something else the same distance then move the camera to where I think the web is and snap. Took about 10 before I got it right - and up from the driveway!
Haha! I've grazed my knees this week getting my High Summer shot when I was grovelling around on my berber twist carpet in the heat! Great shot and your efforts and gravel knees have been rewarded!
You should be very pleased with this shot maggiemae, the web looks like a massive full sized almost gate like entrance. You just caught that perfect angle that gives it that sheen & so highlighting the web so well.
Wonder what the neighbours thought!
This is an amazing image, Maggiemae ... worth getting grit in your pants for! Thank you for all your comments while I have been away. Much appreciated and I am trying to catch up now that I am home again.
