Title is courtesy of yours truly, Cosworth.

I haven't gone out shooting just for fun in a while, and a friend called me to go out with her and teach her a few things. I find I sometimes rarely pull out my 50. We went out to the docks in Steveston, and as I went to reach for my bag, I looked under the hand railing and saw this spider. Boom, grabbed my 50 and snapped this at f/2. If you look close enough you'll see the faint lines of the web. I also purposely did not add any watermarking to this image, as I found it just took away from the image.

Thanks! Just slightly over 1' as I tried to get closer, but I couldn't focus.

Here's one more. I was taking my camera off the ballhead, and the camera rotated a little. When I looked thru, I saw this, and thought it kinda looked need at this angle. Bumped the fstop to 2.8, so bokeh is slightly different.

How long has it been since you last used your camera? I think you have webs on your sensor! :)

Joking aside...#1 is amazing...beautiful shot! The angle of #2 doesn't do it for me...

That first shot is really great. The colors are great, the spider looks incredible and the effects of the web really complete the shot. Nice title by the way...:)

First shot is a stunner, I imagine the web would only look better in a high rez print

Yea that first shot is amazing. Love how the web barely shows up like it does. Background colors make perfect bokeh. Its a very artistic shot. Love it.

That first shot is the best of the two. What kind of spider was it anyway?

#1 shot is the cats meow.


2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”
