come into my parlour

I'm starting a photographic course today and maybe my first question will be how to successfully photograph spiders!
I got an idea from the post of Hazel, @purplehaze12, for 'box' today to photograph the box my camera came in but it turned out to be too boring. I see she has a lovely spider's web shot too!
Really nice detail of the web, and the bokeh is an nice addition,

Linda, thak you. I find it so frustrating trying to shoot (not literally) spiders because the focus on the camera keeps varying and fixing on the background. I understand why but not what to do about it!

brilliant pov and web capture

Great pov on the web. There are lots of webs around at present but maybe they are just more visible because of the misty weather

Wow....very cool perspective on this huge web.

Love the dof here. Hope you have a great time on your course

Oh, and about your focusing question, you can probably manually focus with your bridge camera if it is anything like the panasonic bridge I had until last year. That would be the best way to deal with it I think.

Yes, thanks, Jan, probably. The main reason I'm going on the course is to learn how to use the camera on manual. Watch this space!

Thank you very much! I owe this shot to Ray who came in from the garden and told me about the spider and its web.
