Cute Little Gargoyle
Strasbourg, France - 08 Dec 2019 See on Google Maps
Walking about Strasbourg's beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg. I had a long lens to capture details of the tall buildings. Focused on the gargoyles way up I almost missed this small detail on the side of the building.
I backed up and used the 70-200 at 140 with a wide open 2.8 to blur the cathedral background. I had to get up on tip toes to get a straight on photograph - so I increased the shutter speed to make up for my lack of balance. Good light so a relatively low ISO.
Love the textures of the stone and metal. I am curious what they were used for - years ago.
