Description

In Haarlem, the statue of Laurens Janszoon Coster and in the back, the bell tower of the Sint-Bavokerk… Koster could be the first European to invent the movable type printing press, a feat generally ascribed to Gutenberg about a decade after Coster's death. Either way, he is somewhat of a local "hero", and next to a statue on the Grote Markt his name can be found in many places in the city… To read the legend of Koster, click HERE !

Le cadrage est parfait et ce N§B est parfaitement contrasté... encore un shot plus que réussi Michel!

J'accroche moins sur celle ci, le flou est soit trop, soit pas assez, et me donne plutôt mal au crane comme après avoir abusé de peket... pas top! Aller, se sera pour la prochaine! :)
