I love New Orleans. Gorgeous city, really.

He really needs to clean his lens and sensor very badly.

Is it named Desire?

Clean. Your. Sensor.

Need a similar photo of beignets from cafe du monde.

It's gorgeous, but it makes me motion sick :(

Khalexus · 10 months

Wow, New Orleans trams look so old and retro compared to Melbourne trams. Like, even older and classier than our old old trams.

jameswalker · 10 months

St Charles Avenue?

EduAddict · 10 months

Love NOLA.

Fun fact: 1/3rd-7/8ths of the people in any picture in New Orleans are drunk, depending on the time of day.

Hi Hollywood!

I always thought that New Orleans needed a high-speed railway.

modern_dillema · 10 months

I was on one of those once. It went from empty, to extremely crowded in just a few stops. I am so glad that I had an aisle seat so that man could, on every clickety clack sway of the train, assault my shoulder and arms by gently pressing his genitals into them.

bobconsole · 10 months

I live in Melbourne where trams are everywhere. I have to admit that travelling on the New orleans Streetcar last October was the best tram ride I've had. Well done New Orleans!

msmanager · 10 months

I think this picture creates the illusion that Street Cars move fast. They don't.

Velow · 10 months

light speed !

cropperesp · 10 months

When this baby hits 88mph....

souchong · 10 months

I'm preparing to make the jump to lightspeed!

mae_dae · 10 months

I think I'm going to take the streetcar out down to Sunday jazz brunch. Thanks for reminding me that my city is awesome.

fireinthesky7 · 10 months

I'll always upvote a photo from my city on here, especially given that I used to take the streetcar to work every day last winter, but: 1. Clean the bloody sensor. 2. Lens flare/ghosting out the ass. 3. Image stabilization is your friend.

oldoverlordisback · 10 months

Add someone juggling inside the streetcar and this could be a nice way to begin explaining the theory of special relativity to someone.

ET097 · 10 months

Nice picture, but this looks much more wholesome than some of my memories of riding on the streetcar as an undergrad in New Orleans.

Most of the time it was drunk tourists, or the streetcar hitting actual cars. The most awkward was the man who was clearly masturbating one night.

ups_sux · 10 months

Almost seen a drunk bum get smoked by one of these two weeks ago on St. Charles.

hunty91 · 10 months

Einstein would be proud.

RFEngineer · 10 months

When I was in 8th grade, we were on a bus in New Orleans and some homeless man was fapping on one of those streetcars. The 8th grade girls in my class were horrified.

koopakoopa · 10 months

If it wernt for Hurricane Katrina I would have never left New Orleans

mjmax · 10 months

This would be a great picture for one of those intro to physics books.

DAT BLUE ORANGE CONTRAST

ssitlmmusic · 10 months

Is that that classy McDonald's?

Exchange_ · 10 months

That girl is being viewed by thousands of people from across the globe. She doesn't have the slightest idea. Imagine the oddity.

jofolovesit · 10 months

LOL like it actually goes that fast.

iluvpokemanz · 10 months

Beautiful photo! However, it's incredibly misleading as to the actual speed of the streetcar. My grandma can walk faster than that fucker rolls.

sigaven · 10 months

Reminds me of special relativity.

tamper · 10 months

I disagree with all the "clean your sensor" posts

Keep it dirty like a boss in the Dirty South!

billraydrums · 10 months

That's award winning. Please enter that photo into some contest....

[deleted] · 10 months

Thanks for sharing. Some of the best times of my life in NOLA. I just love the streetcar.

acousticpizzas · 10 months

Wow. The contrast between the two sides is fascinating. This is a really cool picture.

josh2992 · 10 months

TIL Americans call trams "Streetcars" ...isn't that kind of redundant? I don't know of many cars that don't drive on streets.

therunningpuzzle · 10 months

:O time travel!

revallion93 · 10 months

I've been on this streetcar: amazing!

pmCrave · 10 months

It looks like it's time traveling.

ketc89 · 10 months

In Japan. Miss home.

thepalehunter · 10 months

Light isn't actually traveling faster on the streetcar, time is moving slower.

[deleted] · 10 months

Panning method

nirvanachicks · 10 months

Yes, we're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed.

Nyeep · 10 months

This is also a great example of the hubble effect...the tree blurs much more than the building in the distance.

fabkebab · 10 months

I believe the new Photoshope can de-blur images like this and get the focus you wanted

Actually, well done, I liked it!

BarryMenilow · 10 months

looks like a blurry hdr shot

nolmusic · 10 months

Thanks for posting this.

atypicaloddity · 10 months

Best picture I will see all day.

douchemcgernigal · 10 months

Cool beans. Maybe someone could post some HDR pics of the Lower Ninth Ward?

zdiggler · 10 months

I tried to took a shot like that on Amtrak.

backhomw · 10 months

Bristolian · 10 months

is it two exposures, posted? or a lovely balance in one exposure?

taifoid · 10 months

I can't believe I've never thought of taking that photo, such a good idea. From now on, 1/2 of my album is going to be full of me stealing it.. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

dante50 · 10 months

This photo could make a nice visual metaphor to explain the basics of time dialation and relative velocity in Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

Alma_Desnuda · 10 months

Whoa! I took a pic just like this in Montana when my band was touring this summer

stuckinal · 10 months

That's my home and I miss it terribly. Thanks for the image, brightened my day!

abnormalfoot · 10 months

beautiful image of a girlfriend the photographer was about to woo

donvito7335 · 10 months

Qonold · 10 months

New Orleans' mansions are the single most beautiful example of American architecture.

aleksfacco · 10 months

Looks kind of like your going into hyperspace (Star Wars hyperspace). Good picture though.

MrJohnDough · 10 months

What if everything we see is a dream?

crujones43 · 10 months

Inspiring photo! thanks for sharing.

Eulium · 10 months

As much as I like this picture, it gives me a headache.

SexWithTwins · 10 months

The lightbulbs on the carriage contrast to the street lights outside are an amazing metaphor of the elasticity of space-time.

[deleted] · 10 months

This just makes me ponder about physics...

pbnutbutter · 10 months

Beautiful picture, photographer person. I will now steal this idea.

werd13 · 10 months

And that my friends, is relativity.

Warp Factor 5, Mr. Sulu...

Angelojoseph17 · 10 months

That's one place i would love to visit when I visit america. Along with a trip down route 66.

Laissez le bon temps rouler New Orleans !!!! I miss and Love You !!!

SeraphIXI · 10 months

Swaggasen · 10 months

The people in the picture looks as if they had always depended on the kindness of strangers.

Blaopink · 10 months

Such a fantastic photo, it's contrasted, each side in almost every single way. Lovely!

NIK4EVA · 10 months

Great Scott!

annoying_emoticon · 10 months

I think i need glasses, because it's really blurry for me..

gibbsfree · 10 months

Omnipotent0 · 10 months

Okay guys tip of my tongue: This pic reminds me of (I think) was a story where the narrator or someone in the story wonders if people "nowadays" remember what flowers even look like anymore. Saying something like flowers to them are now blurs of a certain type and color. Trees are also, to them, a different kind of blur and so on. I think he or she was sort of wondering what happened to humanity and why things like nature are no longer appreciated.
Might be a movie but I sorta want to say it was a book or TV show... Shit's driving me nuts right now.

[deleted] · 10 months

I love this city :) I applied to grad school just to spend an extra year here.

ruggy5000 · 10 months

meh.

elisejmr · 10 months

Awesome photo.

coltleader · 10 months

Or as I pronounce it "Naw Lins"

ForeverAllOne · 10 months

awesome, but not sure how much photoshop was used....

kevlarvest1893 · 10 months

This image would be borderline unbelievable if there wasn't so much motion blur on the right side. As beautiful as the concept, composition, and contrast are, this looks like a failure with a more perfect twin somewhere else on the negative strip.
