I was there to do some HDR of the sky and beach\u2026but when something like this is on offer, it would be most ungrateful not to take a moment to work it. And gratitude is a central tenet of my photographic method\u2026or maybe philosophy\u2026whatever. I try not to pass up any opportunity. <\/p>\n

I like the dew on the spider web, but it is not easy to catch in a way that does justice to its native impression. Here the rose-hips, withered and ripe, are a definite bonus, providing a secondary focus at the strong point of the composition. <\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 400mm equivalent and macro. F5.0 @ 1\/400th @ ISO 80. Programmed auto.<\/p>\n

Recovery on Lightroom for the highlights on the web, Blackpoint adjustment, added Clarity and Vibrance, and Sharpen narrow edges preset.<\/p>\n

And, of course, when I say work it<\/em>, I mean more than one exposure and angle. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This shot is cropped just a bit, both by zooming out to 560mm equivalent, and in Lightroom (from the bottom). <\/p>\n

 <\/a><\/p>\n

Flipping out the lcd for a low angle shot, and zooming to around 500mm, gives an alternative view, again cropped in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

Like I said\u2026make the most of any opportunity! <\/p>\n
