Sunlight combines with the spider’s threads to produce great effects at the right moment, when the wind adds motion and we can play with the focus ring to capture colorful symmetry.

Can’t remember how I processed this (in Nov 2021). After cropping, I think it involved playing around with Shadows, Highlights and Curves in PS.
Let me add my Wow to the chorus! Jeez this is so cool. However did you see this? I have been “into” spiders forever and can’t recall seeing this phenomenon that you and I think Mark, have shown us so well. Truly outstanding.
This is absolutely beautiful Mike. Like Kristen, after photographing spider webs in all sorts of light I have never seen such a thing. Just wonderful…an oscilloscope version of a spider web. Cheers.
Thank you very much all for your kind comments. I only get to see this properly in autumn, with certain very small spiders which have horizontal webs. I’d love to see if any of you can find similar webs. If you can, you just need to play around with web, sun, lens and Photoshop.
