Hi mate, I can't believe I missed this shot of yours; this is a fantastic shot, I love the neutral backdrop and the lighting on the dew drops. Was this taken with your new camera? It is a simply stunning shot, well done.

Location
i took this in my garden in Lincolnshire UKTime
I think it was taken on a crisp October morningLighting
The lighting was all natural having experimented different angles looking up towards the autum skyEquipment
It was an old Canon D400 with a Canon 60mm macro lense using a tripod for stability because I’m disabled and on crutches so a tripod is essential for me.Inspiration
I have always been fascinated by spider webs especially with dew on them at that time of year but I like to look at things in a different perspective whenever possible and by carful focusing and the angle of sunlight I managed to capture the water droplets in suspension with none of the actual web visible so the droplets look suspended in a web pattern without the thread.Editing
The only post processing this image had was minimal from a RAW file, no manipulation. For once I got it perfect within the camera.In my camera bag
I have changed my kit from Canon to Nikon since that shot was taken and now keep in my bag: Nikon D600, Nikon 50mm f1.4, Sigma 105mm macro f2.8, Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC,Feedback
Spend as much time trying to visualise what you want the final result to look like before approaching the subject, run through the settings, which will best offer the opertunity to achieve your goal. Don’t rely on luck or post processing to get what you are looking for because that isn’t the essence of photography. Experiment with different angles and perspectives never just take images from a standing position, look from below or directly above where possible and always consider DOP (depth of field).
