Rain drops on spider web

in photography •  7 years ago 

Bejeweled web in the morning.

In this case its fine droplets of mist that have coalesced on the spiders web. Most often its dew, but when its mist it tends to make larger droplets.

Lots of diamonds dangling in the air.

Perfect little spheres cluster among the shiny light reflectors.

Great photos!!!

the droplets looks awesome on the web, looks like a work of art

Wow, have seen mist before but have never seen this type. Looks totally different

your post really good @mandela

For the spider this is a disaster, all the prey can see the web now.

Nice post. Nice shot. Quite creative. Thanks for sharing @mandela

The silk thread of a spider's web is made up of rough hydrophillic (water attracting) puffs that occur periodically in the thread. The water that condenses on the thread at dew point moves, collects and coalesces at these water loving puffs to form the dew drops you see.The silk with which the spider spins its web is made of nano fibrils of about 20 to 30 nano-meter in diameter. These nano fibrils form aligned structure at the joints and a messed up random puff at every 85.6 micro meter on the thread. This randomness makes the puff have a higher free surface energy and more wetability. As the temperature of environment around the spider web falls below dew point, water starts condensing on the silk threads. The puffs transform to spindle like structures (Like two cones connected at their bases with the axis running through the silk thread). These spindle like structures then attract the minute water droplets due to two forces:

Force due to surface energy gradient
Force due to Laplace pressure gradient

awesome photography. really you have got good skills. looking so natural keep u the good work. thanx for sharing

nice photography

Hey @mandela great photo! The water droplets on the spiderweb looked really artistic. Though I am a complete amateur in photography, I can atleast tell how skillfully taken the photo is. Thanks for sharing it with us.
