plonqHe's watching you...
This little guy just appeared on my shelf after a couple of friends did some house-sitting for me many years back. They noticed the empty shelf and thought it would look better with something appropriate, so they grabbed a gargoyle at a discount gargoyle shop. They didn't bother mentioning this to me, instead waiting to see how long it would take me to spot him. Not to my credit, it was a couple of months before I finally noticed the change.
I shot this at 400 ISO, f/1.8 at 1/60th of a second. I didn't mind the extra grain and noise at 400 speed since I was going for a Gothic black & white motif anyway. Other than the usual exposure tweaking and cropping, the only other thing I changed was to convert it to black and white. The lighting you see is how he looks in our room with the living room lamps turned on. My runner-up picture for today is behind the cut.
Our ice column is in imminent danger of collapse.
ISO 100, f/1.8, 1/4000th of a second. Sharpened and converted to B&W
