Nice shots!
Thanks Bruce. The next 20 or so shots were never as good. The AF on the Nikon was a problem. It took at least 6-8 seconds to dial in and as things went on it became harder to get a steady shot. The breeze also didn't help either when trying to focus in macro mode :-D . You could see just how tremendously strong the silk is as the whole web bowed in the breeze.
I've been watching David Attenborough's new doco on insects and I was feeling all BBC camera crew as I took the chance to get these images. It must have been painstaking work to capture the action that has been broadcast in the documentary. Just amazing.
