Tried to take a photograph of a spiders web in the golden light - but it was invisible on camera. Is it harder to take pictures of the ephemeral now? I’m sure older phones could deal with sunlit webs.

Working on a system to stop myself walking away from my desk wearing my reading glasses. Somewhat depressingly, the best strategy so far is putting my proper glasses on my phone, piggybacking on my phone-never-leaves-my-side reflex.
