This is actually a very random post.
I took these photos today when I was out for a walk on the terrace. While I was looking at the clouded moon, I saw the silhouette of a small spider around its web and decided I had to take a photo. I admit the photos aren’t as great as I’d hoped they would be, but they were very difficult to capture. Since it was cloudy, visibility was very low and I had to try and find the spider on my telephoto lens (which was overly difficult), and focus on it against the moon. I would have loved to capture both the moon and spider clearly, but of course my lens didn’t allow that. So now it seems like the spider is against some kind of light – but that’s just the moon.
Here are the results. The first and third photos have been cropped to make them seem bigger. The second was left untouched (and it’s my favourite because the spider is so clear in that one that you can even see its web a bit – but you can also see a bit of fungus from my lens unfortunately).
Very cool photos. And smart title. With as many blogs as I follow, what usually makes me stop is the title. This one definitely pulled me in. Cool.
Thank you so much! I’m glad to know the title works

Very cool. The second one iris more than a little eerie.
Thank you! Yes I like how the spider makes things a little spooky
what beautiful pictures!
Thank you
. I’m so glad you like them!
Excellent catch. Unfortunately it is difficult to use a small aperture in this case without the flash, so that we can also see the moon =)!

Thanks so much! Yes, it’s true. I didn’t want to use the flash obviously – it would have made the photo look at bit flat. But I suppose that’s the best I could do yesterday (maybe next time I’ll try to get a better shot – if the spider is still there
)
Next time let’s fixed the spider =)! There is another thing that you can do, try use big aperture for the spider, and then small aperture for the moon, and then aperture version HDR, just a thought, but we need to fix the spider, which is impossible…I like the photos!

That’s a good idea but it sounds too complicated for me to do
. Yeah well, dunno if the spider will be around next time. Additionally, it’s a really small spider.
Thanks so much
I don’t like spiders,… but I love their photos
Hehehe…well this spider was a very small one
A spider devours the moon! Great photos
That’s a great title
. Thanks so much!
i like this title
Yes, I agree. It’s a very dramatic title – suits the sinister looking spider
