Default Spider In The Spotlight
I took this picture whilst watching my son take his snowboard instructor course here in England. The spider had a web in the rafters of the cafe / bar area. It was horrendously back lit so I had to expose for the the highlights (the sky) and then use my flash at around 1/4 power to bring back the definition of the spider. It's completely hand held at 135mm from a Canon 28-135 lens on a 50D...
Hope you like.
