Trap Diversity, a photo from Aveiro, North

Photographer's Note

Trap diversity, Why? The huge spider web avoid bugs from passing there (and this is not the only web, there are thousands next to this one). The barbed wire prevents animals from getting out of their fields or strange people from getting in. And the last one, the sun! The sun can be seen as a trap if it´s not respected!

Three traps in one place and then the fog behind them giving an atmosphere where uncertainty is the key to mistery!

Foto interessante.Gosto da prespectiva e do enquadramento.Tem uma boa des-saturaçăo de cores.Gosto do contraste entre o tronco,a teia de aranha e o por do sol.

I find this a fantastic shot. Very good capture of the drops in the cobweb and on the barber wire. The sun in the fog give an "mystery" touch. Well done !

No doubt... It´s a lucky photo! It´s always agreable to see this kind of things. The environment is perfect too.
Very nice shot Bruno. Well seen!

Wow, here it's only when we open the picture that we discover the spider web. Nice framing with the sun in the center. Bravo!

Para mim esta foto está espectacular, Bruno! Excelente nota, também; a luz, definiçăo, cor, está tudo excelente, as gotas de água na teia e no arame farpado contribuem para esta óptima composiçăo!

Very nice shot with this contrust between the beautiful soft colors and this harsh deadly barbed wire! very good composition with the sun trapped in the web!

Hehe, red your new intro, made ma laugh...i will try and bring my camera even more often. Must admit, i leave it ahome from time to time. Great that you have started photofraphy classes too. Hope you do great, i am sure you do :) I took a class last week, night photogrpahy, so fun, love it :D

Great note to go with your photo Bruno, explainign your title and the though behind it. For the web, your web is a beauty but might be some what hard to see against the pale sky. Ther is more visibility in the lover part. Somehow i think a difrnt angle or having a dark sheet of paper behind it woudl destroy the composition though, so i think you did the right choise. I can be difficult, to decide what is the best from time to time. I am curios about your settings here, did you bracket?

Take care

Excellent shot:) the Low sun so beautifully highlights a web... They as are created the friend for the friend. Due to a fog, color has turned out "soft" and very pleasant for eyes. A beautiful photo:)

Boa tarde Bruno, I see that I lost track of you during the late summer, and in this time you posted some wonderful shots like this very delicate one - what a fine contrast between the ultra thin spiders web and the menacing barbed wire shot against the fog and sun. A thing of symbolic & visual beauty. Parabens!
