HERE ARE PLENTY of spiderwebs to be found at this time of year that are just
calling for you to use for spectacular photographic close-ups. These beautiful
cobwebs of sticky silk are intricate and delicate, making them perfect for
close-up photography. A standard lens will not be able to focus closely enough to
magnify their tiny details without some form of aid, such as a close-focusing filter
or extension tube, but for best results we’d suggest using a dedicated macro lens.
Spiderwebs alone look interesting but are elevated when covered in dewdrops,
which is why you should make the most of the morning light for this technique. If
you’re able to capture backlit cobwebs against a dark background, covered in
glistening crystal beads, then you’re on to a winner, but even if these added factors
aren’t possible, these photogenic subjects are still worth your time.
