 Dew Drops on Spider Web

   During an excursion on the high  Madonie, in Sicily (Italy), my eye
   was drawn to this weathered  spiderweb, adorned with shimmering
   drops of  dew. All that was required to show it off at its best was
   just a little more light, which was achieved by shooting in black and
   white and slightly increasing the  ISO. Because  beads of water
   have a tendency to gather at roughened spots on the web, at  thread
   intersections for instance, this is where the larger dew drops are
   found. Photo taken on June 14, 2020.
   Photo details: Nikon D3400 camera:105 mm; 1/250 second exposure; f/5.6;
   ISO 400.
