These spiders were living amongst scubby perrenials at the base of a short coastal cliff. The white zig-zag probably deters birds from colliding with the web.

Daylight exposure, probably bright overcast, hand-held.

EP-2. I think I used my Kiron 70-150.

    Both very nice! For #1, I would crop once inch from bottom...right where that white twirl starts....if it was mine.
    Cheers!

    Thanks. I agree, as an alternative, rather than as a substitute. (I am without my own PC and software at present and can only access images processed some time ago). Alternatively, the DIY option is to scroll and use the edge of the screen. thumb.gif

    Thanks, Brian.

    I have seen the less spectacular, but still impressive, European species in France but not, so far, the the UK.
