Happy Halloween

.spider web photo here

    It's time to put up a Halloween-ish picture!
To give it the spooky blue-ish look, I shot the spider web which was convieniently built in my raspberry patch with white balance set to tungsten. To highlight the web, I sprayed it with water using an atomizer bottle, and used a handheld 430EX flash, connected to the camera with a 5 foot PC cable. Flash was at full power covered with a CTO gel, and handheld under the web, pointing directly up at the sky. Exposure was 1/250sec f/4.0 with my favorite 60mm EF-S lens on a Canon 40D camera at ISO 100.
