there is a trick you can use when you see a spider web you want to photograph. Take a spray bottle with water on mist setting & mist it. I've also seen where photographers use an old sock filled with baby powder & they tap the sock so the powder comes out & coats the web. I have never tried that. I always thought that would be too cruel to the spider. Not sure, but it seems like that would ruin it for them packing their web up whereas water won't b/c rain doesn't. I just don't know about using baby powder.....
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
