Webs are hard if the light doesn't cooperate. Try using a mister (not a Mr.)to cover the web in tiny water droplets.

Webs are much easier to see than to photograph. You might also try the manual focus on something you *know* is in the same focal range, like the spider or a branch the web's attached to.

A can of white spray paint can help reveal webs against a darker background, like in a barn, etc

Fargon, I particularly liked your two middle pics in Post#80

... in pic#2, the hiker is still in the light, but just at the edge of dark.
Somehow, that seems to me to be more interesting that just being in full light, or full shade.

... in pic#3, the point of interest is at about 1/3 of the vertical height.
Again, somehow, that seems to me to be a more interesting composition than in the middle.

I tried to get a shot out of the airplane window recently and failed miserably. I got an okish shot with the auto feature and couldn't get diddly with the manual settings no matter what I tried. Came home and was brainstorming about getting some practice. I bought a set of lights on sale - scored with amber lights - and googled. I was doing ok, but the color was off. Apparently, you should adjust the white balance to correct the color. I think I am getting a hang of it

It's still out of focus, but the color is right and the lights are showing. I am going to try again at night when there is NO residual light. Also, have some pictures from my trip home!
