 EPOD - a service of USRA

The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes
and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and
archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory
captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The
community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and
relevant links.


 Spider Web Refraction

   Summary Author:  Patricia Rasmussen;  Cadan Cummings

   The photo above shows a cropped portion of a  spider web image taken
   using a technique called  intentional camera movement (ICM). As I
   was going through my third round of ICM spider web images, this photo
   was marked for deletion until I enlarged the image and spotted the
   spectacular bands of color. Without the magnifying and cropping
   effects, the color bands are barely detectable. Taken in the early
   morning, the sunrise combined with moist air from the fog and dew
   presumably caused  refraction to occur in the photo revealing these
   unique color bands. This effect could have also been intensified due to
   the use of a  cropped sensor camera.

   Photo data: ICM with General Post-Processing Edits; Canon EOS 90D, 100
   mm lens, f/9, 1/3 second exposure, ISO 100, photo taken on September 1,
   2021 at 6:50 a.m. CDT.
