When morning light hits Amber just right, it isn’t the web that steals the show; it’s her legs. Each one glows like a strand of molten metal against the dark background. The trick to capturing that effect is simple: reduce your exposure. By dialling it down a few stops, you let the highlights from the sun outline her form while everything else fades into shadow. Instead of a flat, evenly lit spider, you get a silhouette edged in gold – a portrait sculpted by light rather than filled with it. It’s proof that sometimes, the drama comes not from adding brightness, but from knowing what to let stay dark.
