Golden Silks

Photographed July 21st at 9:48am.

From the Series, Beyond the Barbs

Camera D40 Nikon. Lens 55-200mm at 200mm. Shutter Speed 60 at f5.6.
Cloudy white balance. Center weight metering. ISO 200. Program mode.

The golden silk or banana spiders are common in the woods and often have their webs sticking in my face as I walk and bike through them.

The large female and smaller male were photographed with the flash set to the left, set manually at minus three maximum so as to only slightly highlight the two. I tried various angles with the flash before deciding less was better.
