Beautiful unstructured structure. I very much like the reoccouring pattern of the water drops, stringing together like many bead chains. The spider might have been drunk, though. Doesn't look like a typical spider web. :) I also like the all green color theme. Your shot deserves the first place in my challenge. Congrats! Thanks for participating! :)

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo near our workshop at the side of the road on a beautiful sun lit monday morning.

Time

It was early in the morning, the day started beautiful with the first rays of sun shining over the dew covered grass.

Lighting

The sun was standing low and lit the web beautifully!

Equipment

I have a Lumix DMC-TZ60 and shot free out of hand, without flash.

Inspiration

As I was walking along the wet grass towards our workshop I noticed some wonderful dew covered webs. The droplets where shining like diamonds hanging between the green grass and I wanted to show this simple beauty in a detailed macro photo...

Editing

I don't do much post-processing. I just cropped the photo and played a bit with the color depth and the contrast.

In my camera bag

I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning how to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand photography first...

Feedback

The lighting in this photo is realy crucial... The sun was standing very low at the horizon and I shot in the direction of the sun but not straight into it! I was laying in the wet grass as low as possible and took a lot of photo's at slightly different angles. Many times I had to wipe of the dew from my lens because I was shooting very close to the webs... The result was about 10 nice shots with the right colour, sharpness and "bling". Patience, the right angle, a bit of luck and many attempts will enable everybody to shoot dewdrops on a spider web. Mind you... check if the background is without any unwanted distortions because then the macro can look a bit messy and will leave you with a less interesting photo
