I don't like spiders. They give me the creeps, especially when they are in my house. When my husband kills one because I'm yelling for the exterminator I always go into another room, ( in case he misses ), I don't want to be near that thing. I know most of us have walked through a spider web, it's creepy on your face and hard to remove.
But they make amazing webs to capture their prey. Some spider webs are strong than steel. We still have not been able to make a substance or product that is even close to being what a spider's web is. And they are awfully hard to photograph, I have tried. You can see the web but try to get a photograph of one is somewhat difficult.
One of the easiest ways to get a shot of a spider web is in the morning after a heavy dew. I really like black and white photos, so I photographed this one in black and white.

@fishtiger58 I hear that. I am not a fan of bugs in general. I can tolerate a spider but I cannot tolerate a roach or water bug. They are just disgusting.

@inertia4 i do a lot of camping and they don't bother me as much outdoors, but hate them in my house.

@simone10 It was either my Canon Powershot, or my Panasonic Lumix, I took this a couple of years ago.

I was also able to take some shots of the spider webs with droplets of dew, and they are so nice images.
I recall, I made some posts on that bubbling site about spiders too.

It's really the best time to photograph a spider web.

I always say I'd rather see a ghost than a spider. A sight of a spider can make me scream and jump like crazy that neighbors would really get worried and panicking some of them came banging at our door to ask what's the matter :D

yes the webs are fascinating but I do not want to get too close as I was once bit b y a brown recluse spider thats venom eats flesh so now I have a dimple in m y chin and it took six weeks of constant antibiotic pills and antibiotic cream on the wound to heal that photo is fantastic good for you.
