I admit, I cheated a bit when I took this picture. I tried and tried to get the web but I couldn't see it in the photos because it was too bright outside and there wasn't enough contrast. I finally got a water bottle with a fine mist sprayer and misted the spider web to make it show up a little more. I was then able to get some shots of the web.
I tried to get some shots of the spider in the web at night but my lighting was all off and I couldn't stand to be that close to the spider to get it correct. I HATE spiders!

I like the colour on this, a great shot.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing that you misted it - I always seem to have trouble getting shots of webs, so I'll have to try your tip next time!! :)
I never thought of misting a web before - thanks for the tip. I thought I was going to have to wait until the frosts came before I could get a good shot of a web.
Yours is great. Ok is it just me and my eyes but when I enlarged it I couldn't see a spider........ maybe it was just as well that I didn't. lol
Great shot! It is worth enlarging to get the full effect. The pattern o the web is different from the one I have been looking at. Interesting.
Jamie! What a great shot... simply beautiful.. and I know about the getting close part, I have goosebumps just thinking about it... Great job!
Rosie, I couldn't get the spider in this shot. I tried to get it at night but the lighting was all off. I took this picture in the morning and the spider was hiding.
What a nice shot. I really like it. Wow!
This is a great shot!
Oh Wow - I love this shot...I really really really want to get a spider web photo.
Gorgeous! I am so impressed that it is with a point and shoot! It looks professional!
sometimes we have to use some tricks to get a great capture:)
I have to say thank you for GIMP tutorials, I downloaded the programme some time ago but it looked too complicated, but now I can try it again after reading your edit tutorials
i am so jealous this is beautiful!! I have always wanted to get a shot of web!
I had to chuckle at your description! You ended up with wonderful color and texture!

Yep, I hate spiders too... but I love this shot! Great job!
Beautiful! I don't know how many times I've taken a bottle of water outside to practice water droplets......it's been a dry summer! Beautiful shot!
I've had many spider web pictures like this. It is hard to find a web where the spider was nice enough to build it where there is a nice background.
Coming over from BlogFrog to show you some love.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! And yes please do join in my weekly challenge! I am the worst about getting in front of the camera.
