Happy Halloween (one day late)!  Since I haven’t done any shooting in the past couple weeks, I thought this would be an appropriate older image to post to my blog.  This shot was taken last year when I discovered that a spider had taken up residence outside my back door.  The spider emerged each evening, so at dusk, I set up my macro equipment outside with the intention of getting some black silhouettes of this spider against the blue sky.  Just as I was securing my composition and exposure settings, my next door neighbor turned his porch light on, completely changing the scene.  Instead of giving up and going inside, I switched my focus to capturing a new type of shot, one with the light in the background, silhouetting the spider.  This is the end result.
