While sitting down on the bottom step of the stairs, a picture was taken of the spider web in the hole of the stair railing. A UMass Id card was placed right beneath the spider web to act as a scale for the web size. The IPhone camera was tilted upwards so that the background of the picture was a green tree; this dark background created great contrast that could be used to make the spider web show up, despite it being bright outside. After a picture was taken that captured the small spider web, another photo was taken 10 steps backwards from the Lewis Hall main entrance. This picture was angled slightly to the right, so that the Lewis entrance sign was at the top left of the picture, and the stairs and right side railing was at the bottom left of the picture. This picture would be used to understand where the spiderweb was located.
