Been around though I haven't been posting much but I thought I'd share this capture from last night.

Linked to a larger image if you're interested. Wink When I discovered the city had added lights to the fountain at this small park I just had to take a shot... Tongue

Wow, what an interesting shot. I love it!

Did you use a tripod? Long exposure?

Oh yea, it was definitely dark. Somehow the street lights don't seem to get to that end of the pond. It would have helped if I had taken my flashlight out of my bag before leaving the car...
25/ s @ f/ 7.1. I couldn't close the aperture down any more without going to bulb and I didn't grab my remote either.

I see from the exif data that you shot ISO 100. I'm curious. In the original, is there a visable noise? As you know this is often a topic of discussion comparing the sensor of a DSLR, which you used, to a compact digital camera.  

For forum visitors who may not be familiar with some of these terms:

I don't think there's significant noise. There is some if you look very closely but it can be dealt with.

That's a great capture! I find that the surrounding darkness is very efficient to draw your eyes to the fountain.
