A Beautiful Death Trap

[zulu42]

I caught this spider web that somehow refracted the setting sun into rainbow colors.

Lest anyone think it's all photoshop and post, here's the shot with a looser crop and minimal editing. Which crop do you prefer?

C&C always valued and thanks for looking

Great catch! I like the crop.

I have seen this prism effect before...I have no idea what causes it.

 

[Jeff15]

Nice shots......

I like the crop mire than th SOOC framing.

 

[DarkShadow]

This is Awesome, great shot.

So cool! I wonder if the webbing is coated with something that makes it reflect?

Luvvit!

The threads are translucent and have the same effect any other prism would.
There are multiple papers on it.

Gods handywork IMO. Gorgeous work on the spider and photographer

Thanks Derrel. To me its more impressive the tighter the crop, but I wondered if it needed the realism from the branches

This is Awesome, great shot.

Thanks very much!

Thanks! I read up a little and it seems to be a combination of moisture on the web and the translucence of the web itself

Luvvit!

Thanks Kirk. Careful metering of the highlights killed the bg
