User's notes

I was able to get a shot of the spider in its web, looking at what would be its underside. I then moved around the web that stretched well over a metre in size, moving well around a small tree that I assumed was an anchor for the web, but one of the strands must have been attached to somewhere else because I somehow spooked the spider, making it move.
