Shot near Karnala.
This is an image of a caterpillar (no idea which one, it is often called the "inchworm" and moves in a looping manner like a leech) descending from a higher branch using its silken thread. Caterpillars can secrete silk from their spinnerets, just like spiders do.
Used flash to darken the BG and the thread. :D
Camera Model Name Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Shooting Mode : Manual
Tv (Shutter Speed) : 1/400
Av (Aperture Value) : 5.0
ISO Speed : 100
Flash : On, medium output, used a piece of cloth as a diffuser.
Shutter curtain sync : 1st-curtain
Cropped, played around with levels and curves.
Thanks for looking, comments and critiques awaited.
