The Story Behind the Photo

Oct 2026: Animal Portraits

Andrew Srenton

This photo was taken a few years ago while walking around Ironbridge in England. Taken with a Nikon D610, Tamron 28-300 f3.5-6.3 (not the sharpest of lenses) at 200 mm, f/9 with an ISO of 400 for 1/125 sec, in aperture priority. I should have added bias due to the dark room.

I added clarity and I removed the reflections from old glass removed. The shadows were brought up to reveal the bookcase.

Would it look good on someone's wall? Is a question I ask. Doesn’t need a frame; it’s already framed.
