Yes, and as you can see, the natural ones are more beautiful... also sometimes better organized :)

Behind The Lens

Location

Near the house there is this power pole with cables, streetlight, and what the spiders have added for the full measure! A telephoto lens was used, and the gossamer was nicely sunlighted. An easy shot.

Time

Date/Time Original 20-Oct-21 12:08:20, quoth the Exif...

Lighting

In short, 1/1600 sec, aperture f/7.1, ISO 100, 0.00 eV, metering: Center weighted average, Flash Off, Did not fire, Focal Length 30.3 mm, and White Balance Details: Auto1 (daylight).

Equipment

Nikon COOLPIX P900 was handy for its long lens...

Inspiration

The inspiration came from the gossamer shine and the contrast it made with the rest ofthe structure.

Editing

Nothing worth mentioning; it was routinely resized for upload, and that was it.

In my camera bag

For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. My tripod has its permanent place in the car. The vest pockets usually contain two cameras. One of those is always waterproof. Sometimes I'll add a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. Other pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important aspects!

Feedback

If you notice something make a photo of it - that is all. Later on you can decide whether it is worth keeping!
