Natures Pearls...
40D, 400/2.8 + 1.4 (560mm), A-327+BH1.
ISO400, 1/25 @ f8, manual exp.
C1 v4 + resize + sharpen CS3, full frame.

Hi

Taken whilst walking back to the car after failing to photograph Water Voles last weekend, determined not to go home empty handed....

Was only carrying the 400 so put that to use on the dew covered cobwebs that were abundant in this one spot....

All the best

Phil

Lovely shot Phil - definitely worth your while taking.

As a slight nit it's a tad tight at the top of the frame for me, but it would be easy enough to add a bit of extra canvass to ease it.

Super comp, nice 400mm BG - cracker :wavey:

Well seen and equally well taken Phil. I agree with Andy re the tightness of frame but minor nit.

^^^^ good point by Greg :biggrin:

an excellent shot and an unusual macro lens. I've been looking for a perfect 'round' web like this with some space behind it for a couple of weeks but no luck. :smile:

Hi Phil,

Excellent shot. The tight framing works for me. :toast:

Beautiful. Not sure if the physics would work but I'd perhaps rotate the image 90 degrees counter clockwise. Top notch image. Tristan
