FROSTED SPIDER WEBS

We had a very cold night and temperatures haven't risen much during the day today. I found these spider webs, still frosted and with the sunshine reflecting off them, strung between the twigs of a shrub at the edge of a pond at lunchtime today.

While I was out I practiced shooting from the hip so I can get the hang of it for my street photography. But instead of practicing on people, I practiced on trees because they're pretty dumb and didn't object (sorry trees, I know you're not really dumb!). Of all the shots I took, only one was in focus! I think I'm going to have to work on that a bit!

  1. love these spider webs, don't give up if only one of your hip shots is in focus, a teacher told me that was completely normal and that one shot will be amazing.

  2. I love this shot and those magical webs, and also love Justine's comment. I'm so in awe that you manage to get any good outdoor shots at all in this grey low-light season!

  3. That is a really hard thing to do, and i think I've only gotten one that turned out good when doing it, but it was not nearly as nice as this one.

  5. LOL! People are bigger than branches - they'll be easier to focus, lol. :) Love the spider webs!
