It seems I'm sliding more and more into painting with photography. I can't help myself.

Thanks. I like photography but the moment I begin PP, I get carried away. All that painting of the past creeps in. In a way both combine nicely; my cam is the canvas and sketch, PP the paint and brushes.

Btw, did you ever shoot spiders in combination with rain? I was trying to get a good angle on this spider for days and tried several shots that ultimately lacked potential. Then yesterday it was raining and I even wondered if I should take the cam out, electronics and such. I'm glad I did because spiderwebs combined with light rain make for great compositions.

Some people will lightly mist the web to bring it out. I try to find webs early morning or after a rain.

Was in the front garden today and almost walked in to this spider, it had set up its web across the garden path.

OK this looked fine on my screen until uploaded here and now looks like a huge crop job leaving it grainy! well it wasn't cropped at all!

Before re-processing!

I occasionally forget the noise too. ;)

The more you manipulate the image, the more noise appears but since we're mostly working on an image "fit to screen", that noise is almost invisible. It's only when checking the 100% that it shows clearly.

Lowering noise can affect the image so you have to find the middle road.

Not too many shots of spiders but whereas spiders give some people the creeps, I find them fascinating, even the Brown Recluse, which is the only spider I will smash into a pile of goo if I see one

I had one of a very small (about 1" from tip of rear legs to front legs) I found in one of our boxwoods but I can't find it right now :-(
