Nikon D300 w/105mm f/2.8 vr Micro Nikkor lens, tripod mounted
ISO 640; f/22, 1/60 sec
PP: Topaz DeNoise; PS CS6 levels, curves, crop, sharpen
This image is the result of an artistic collaboration between a meadowland spider and early morning dewdrops. I was intrigued by the dewdrop patterns, and by their markedly different sizes on the various web strands. But all of the dewdrops also told the story of where they were.
Their story is perhaps best read in the largest dewdrop, at the lower left part of the image. But it is important to remember that images reflected in dewdrops are inverted. With that in mind, the dewdrops reveal a large brown area in their upper parts. That is a reflection of the meadow in which I found them. And extending down below the meadow mass are tiny projections that are actually the reflections of very large pin oaks that line the road by my home.
Isn't it fascinating what can be seen in a dewdrop?
