Magnifique ! Si peu de bruit avec une pose si longue ?!!!
Vivement que je puisse m'offrir un appareil semblable !
En plus tu peux descendre à 50 iso. Il faut vraiment que je m'intéresse de plus près au D300 ou 700.
Les éclats de lumière sont superbes. Belle optique ce sigma 10/20 !

Très bon boulot, le ciel est vraiment vrai de vrai ? La filé est étonnant à à peine 30s je trouve.
En tout cas la photo est impec, j'aurais juste utilisé une petite déformation pour remettre d'équerre les bords droit et gauche de la fontaine.
