Description Found this little fellow hanging on to a tiny string of spiderweb outside my house. It was a must!
you can see the web on the left side 6/8 to the top.

Very low light conditions, so i had to bump up the iso to 400 and use very shallow dof. Even so the shutter speed was only about 1/50 on most shots.
It was inside a bush, so the tripod was impossible.

Either way, after a few tries i got this one, and i really liked the smooth atmosphere in it.

I did not want to change anything here, so i made a simple post processing. B/W conversion, mild toning with curves, grain removal for the heaviest grains using noiseware.

oh, and a crop.

I close to never clone away stuff on my images, i think it is boring, especially with nature shots, where it is suppose to be some "wrong" Dusts and lights.

as always; Welcome to use as wallpaper, but not for re-use or publishing without my permission.

Hope you like it

Wow. This is such a nice shot, and brilliant opportunity! It is a beautiful and extremely delicate photo.

At first glance I thought you captured it in mid-flight.

this is great .
so soft and woow .

but i almost always have one remark in your pictures. there isnt some 'in focus' spot that you can focus to .
if you know what i mean.

Sortvind In reply to seewolf [2008-05-10 12:16:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you there is a very low focus point here, it is to the left almost on the edge of the object, i agree that it is very small.
