Rainbows and prisms back light a spiders web

[JBW]

I was shooting angled into the sun hoping for an interesting back light effect. I think I got one.

ISO 100 ~ F/16 ~ 1.4s ~ Natural Light

Into the sun????? It appears to be behind your right shoulder.....

[Shadowman]

Nice one.

I did flip the shot 180 in the horizontal but trust me it was into the sun.

[JBW]

You did indeed

I have become stagnant and I'm intentionally moving back into the 'hmmmm I wonder' mode of shooting.

[JBW]

Nice one.

I was shooting Robber flies when I noticed the web.

Very interesting! What created the prismatic refraction?

Not me. I was shooting into the setting sun and the light was filtered through bamboo and leaves. It hadn't rained. I am at a loss as to what caused it but it was in half a dozen consecutive shots.

unexpectedly nice

I would guess the 'prismatic reflection' was caused by the same principle as a rainbow. The light is refracted two or more times within the transparent thread. Just as in a raindrop, different colours are refracted to different extents.

I would guess the 'prismatic reflection' was cased by the same principle as a rainbow. The light is refracted two or more times within the transparent thread. Just as in a raindrop, different colours are refracted to different extents.

that could work

Perhaps my best spiders web shot.
