Beautiful, isn't it? Spider web on the porch this morning, covered in dew.

Y'all have a great day!
Sis

Do you ever get to this coast? Do you give lessons?

Thanks for sharing!

I do a ton of studying and then practice, study some more, practice, pull hair out, haha, practice...

You get the picture!
Thanks again,
Sis

I think spiders are usually a good thing around here. We have brown recluse, but they are usually hiding. The Black Widow are the ones that get me because their markings are on the under side of their abdomen. What do we do, pick it up and look? I saw a spider the other day that was gleaming black with red or orange on top. My husband said it was not a black widow. It's gone.

You captured real artwork with that web.

What do you study?

Thanks, Sammy. I have a couple of photography websites I go to and read up on how-to's and such. I subscribe to 2 photography magazines. I also browse bookstores and camera stores for instructional books, and have about 5 or 6. I just bought one Saturday that I'm excited to have, and can't wait to give a try - it's about classic Hollywood portraits (from the 20's through the 50's) and how to set up the same lighting. My daughter has picked out a picture of Norma Shearer that she wants me to try to duplicate:

and I found one of Vivien Leigh that I want to try with her:

Wish me luck! haha
