This photo, which I consider to be my best photograph actually started out as an irritation... This spider built his huge web right in front of my door, so every time I walked outside i almost walked into it and then had to go under it but I didn't want to ruin it because that's where the spider was living and how it got it's food and all that fun stuff! After a few days though I was done with it! So I started to walk outside and almost walked into it and was about to knock it down when I saw all the water droplets on it, I loved it photographed it, and let the little web stay in my doorway until natural causes took it away. So lesson learned, some of the most irritating things can turn into some of the best things.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken outside my house in the state Indiana. I almost walked right past the web because I was running late but the photographer in me came out and I had to take time for the photo.

Time

This shot was taken around 6:30 AM on a Monday morning. I was on my way to work when I almost walked into the web but it look really cool so I couldn't resist taking the photograph.

Lighting

Because my camera was broken whenever I took the photograph I had to use my phone, whenever I saw the web I thought it looked really cool so I wanted to get the picture even without my camera. It took a few minutes to get my phone to focus right but it's one of my favorite Photographs I've taken.

Equipment

This photo was taken with my phone because my camera was broken at the time.

Inspiration

I wasn't trying to take pictures at the time but I noticed it and thought it would look really cool if I could get all the water drops on the web and fog in the background in. I think it is one of my best photographs and was really happy with how it turned out.

Editing

This photo didn't take very much post-processing. All I did was darken it a little and made it black and white.

In my camera bag

I'm pretty new at this so I don't have much equipment in my bag. I do have a Canon Rebel T3I and my 100 mm lens. I also carry and extra card and battery just in case.

Feedback

For this picture it was mostly just about getting the camera to focus right. I've tried other web pictures and they haven't turned out as well because the focus wasn't right. It might take a few minutes and messing around with the camera but it really isn't that much work to capture a picture like this.
