Stuge: Great Images.
Cool: Full zoom has done the trick. It has blurred the background. I too used the full 10x zoom in my cable wire shot in fog.
But for enhancing the effect of image there should be something else in the image to compliment the water drops or some changed angle.( but you cant do that everytime as cables are tied high up.)

Spider In my Book shelve.
Its very tricky for my camera to take this Macro shot. Due to low lightning conditions.
When I was using the flash its washing away the image. without flash its too dark. So I wrapped the bubble polythene packaging of my webcam over the flash and made a home made diffuser. And this works for me.
But whenever my camera was too close to the spider the shadow of camera lens is visible in the lower side of Image. But I got the shot.
The spider might be sleeping because he didn't moved during the whole shootout.
