I originally planned to take this pictures with Portia, the beautiful Golden Orbweaver who lives next to our porch, but the pictures didn't even come close to turning out. Portia wasn't impressed by me spraying misty water on her and I didn't want to frighten her so I went inside to think of what to do. HELLO? ROSCOE'S WEB! Every day, Roscoe hangs out up in the corner of her nook, but the beautiful orb web she built the night before is usually still intact during the day. How perfect. No spider to disturb! I sprayed the web with water and grabbed the camera with my Twin-Lite flash attachment in place and took a bunch of pictures! It was really, REALLY windy, so even though I was using a flash, I had problems with blur in many pictures. I'd wait for the web to be still and take pictures but at macro scale, even a breeze will make the subject move enough to be blurry. However, I did get a few nice ones, including this one! :)
