I don't know under what conditions you tried it. In this case it was early in the morning, I has the sun almost behind me, and behind the web was a lot of empty space over a river. As the web strings were very billiant and the background was dark, the camera tended to overexpose the web, so I used an ev of -0.33 to compensate.
Good luck on your next try, my friend :) My best regards
