That's the streetcar in New Orleans, driving right past Tulane University. Awesome picture.

[–][deleted] 125 points126 points ago

Yep. One glance at that picture and I immediately thought "That's no train!"

[–]kreuelt 51 points52 points ago

It's not a space station either, so don't get any ideas.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

...wait. You mean that wasn't a space station I saw while driving through the city? Darn.

    Are you sure that's Tulane? It looks a little further up St. Charles, just before Loyola/Audubon.

    [–]heyyall13 12 points13 points ago

    It kind of looks like the president of Tulane's house (Scott Cowen). It's right off of campus on Audubon Place (or the other private street next to it). But there are quite a lot of houses like that so who knows. It doesn't look like any on campus buildings, though. EDIT: Audubon Place, not Audubon Dr.

    [–]isthisbatcountry 12 points13 points ago

    After investigating Google Earth for some time I believe that it is the large house on the corner of St. Charles and Audubon Place coming from Broadway. Looking from street view going in the right direction I believe I am correct, the pictures have many similarities like the arch and vertical windows on top of them. http://imgur.com/2uTfE have a look for yourself and tell me what you think. Thanks! EDIT: That is the President's house, I think

    [–]heyyall13 8 points9 points ago

    YES! That is the house I was thinking of, and is definitely the president's house. I should have thought of Google Earth as well, I almost got in my car and drove over there, silly me. I have a lot of learning to do before I become a full-fledged internet detective.

    Here is a nola.com article about it being the president's house. http://blog.nola.com/insideout/2007/11/the_presidents_residence.html

      It looks like Dinwiddie Hall and Gibson Hall. I walked that many-a-times on my way to Audubon... far, far too many times. Link to campus map: http://tulane.edu/about/visiting/uptown-campus-map.cfm/

      Edit: I'm wrong, it was taken right at the intersection of St. Charles and Newcomb Blvd. Google Maps street view is fucking awesome.

      [–]heyyall13 1 point2 points ago

      Dinwiddie Hall is at least 4 stories, and from what I can tell this is a three story house. This picture sucks, but it's the only one I could find from the same side that I think this picture was taken. http://www.flickr.com/photos/akjordan/55411023/

      It stands out to me because every time I pass the house I notice the servants' entrance on the left hand side (when you're facing it), and it seems you can see it in this picture.

      [–]YOalejandro 0 points1 point ago

      The easy way to tell that it's not his house is because the yard on the left of the house is blocked from the street by trees, not bushes like in this picture.

        [–]botlove 2 points3 points ago

        New Orleanian here. I was in correspondance with the photographer, Don Chamblee, because a friend of mine spotted it and insisted that the young couple was my husband and I. I'll admit, I was 95% convinced it was us...maybe from a day we didn't remember. I even sent it to several of my friends and family members to get their opinions (most of them thought it could be us). Alas, Don sent me some more pictures of the couple, and it wasn't us at all. The friend who originally spotted it wanted to re-create the photo with us in it, but we never did it.

        [–]teeksteeks 4 points5 points ago

        I just went back to the picture to see if I thought it was you and realized I have no clue who you are.

            That's sensor dust for sure.

            [–]David722 2 points3 points ago

            How can you tell?

            [–]afdlips 2 points3 points ago

            Sensor dust is very sharp as it is directly on the sensor. You see it at f/ 8 and above usually. I would imagine this shot was done at around f/18 or higher to create that blur. I've been dealing with dusty sensors lately and this is what it looks like. I bought some expensive dust swabs and took care of it. no more specks.

            [–]leo1016 0 points1 point ago

            I have a 1D MKII and the same problem happened. Ended up cleaning the sensor but the specks remained. Turned out it was my lens.

            So, OP, it could be 1 of 2 things, your lens or sensor. Clean your sensor first as its the most inexpensive. The lens might need to be taken in for a professional clean (taken completely apart and put back together) as mine was.

            Great picture BTW.

            [–]temudgin 1 point2 points ago

              Or shutter speed.

              [–]brightbluesky55 4 points5 points ago

              Was this pic taken using a slow shutter speed? If so, how was the photographer able to take such a steady shot?

              [–]thenicolai 11 points12 points ago

              The fact that you can still make out the shapes of the houses outside indicate that it wasn't a super show shutter speed. Probably a fraction of a second, but combined with the speed of the car it was enough to blur the outside while still keeping the people inside pretty still.

              [–]stellareddit 5 points6 points ago

              Right, I'm guessing it's about a 1/10 to 1/20 second exposure. Anything longer would have had a lot more camera shake and blurring of the people inside.

              [–]WhipIash 6 points7 points ago

              You can actually see the closest girl moved her head slightly.

              [–]hlep 0 points1 point ago

              It really depends on the lens, the canon L series lenses for example have really good stabilization in them which makes you able to take pictures at pretty low shutter speeds. But I would say it's not a 1/10, but it's really hard to tell without knowing what lens was used.

              [–]enterharry 4 points5 points ago

              tripod?

              [–]autieab 2 points3 points ago

              Vibration of the trolley car would still induce blur through the legs of the tripod, surely?

              [–]Bob3333 3 points4 points ago

              Except the tripod would vibrate with the car and its contents, thus they would appear still from the camera's frame of reference.

              [–]WhipIash 1 point2 points ago

              Also, how the hell do you set up a tripod on the middle of a moving train's window?

              [–]caltheon 0 points1 point ago

              Easy enough with a mini tripod with flexible legs, or a clamp.

              [–]DrunkenAss 3 points4 points ago

              It's not that steady, the people on the right are a little blurry, and yeah I think it was a slow shutter speed. I'm not a photographer though.

              [–]Ares__ 1 point2 points ago

              rest it on something... maybe one of those mini tripods

              [–]richie9x 0 points1 point ago

              To get motion blur like that you would need a slow shutter. But I expect not too slow as you would get too much motion blur from people moving. Maybe a half a second or a second.

              Looks like the camera was resting on the window. Photographer may have even had some sort of mini tripod or a clamp with a camera mount.

              [–]TeHSaNdMaNS 9 points10 points ago

              Are you saying either or, or are you saying that it's a demonstration of shutter speed and not relativity?

              [–]functor7 9 points10 points ago

              Inertial frames of reference. Not relativity.

              [–]Melchoir 4 points5 points ago

              Yep. Loosely speaking, the picture demonstrates that speed is relative; it depends on one's frame of reference. But we've known that for centuries, and we don't call the concept "relativity". Relativity is the more startling observation that some things aren't relative.

              [–]functor7 1 point2 points ago

              Relativity is a very poor name for the theory, people misunderstand it's meaning all the time. 'Cause although trivial things like wavelength and time are dependent on the frame, the fact that c is constant with respect to frames is the fundamental property.

                No, slow shutterspeed combined with a steady camera is beautiful.

                [–]mjmax 1 point2 points ago

                The last time this reached the front page on Reddit, I mentioned that it looked like it would be cool in a physics book trying to demonstrate relativity.

                That's not a train. I grew up riding that street car in NOLA.

                That's no train, that's a Tram!

                My favorite Train picture

                [–]twyphoon 1 point2 points ago

                The perfect picture to illustrate that planes, cars, trains, etc. are real life space-time machines.

                New Orleans, representing! I love my hometown and I love St. Charles Avenue! Great pic! I go to Tulane and it looks like the area between Tulane and Loyola...HUGE mansions! Love it!

                [–]xogun 1 point2 points ago

                Einstein would be pleased with this picture. Relatively speaking, of course.

                [–]shadowq8 1 point2 points ago

                I think reddit works in cycles. Every 2 months a groups of redditors browse everything on reddit then disappear then a group comes back and views what they have missed in those 2 months..

                this is the only explanation as to why this picture must have been reposted at least a million times.

                [–]mocotazo 0 points1 point ago

                Loved people-watching whenever I rode the streetcar home from work.

                [–]xHassassin 0 points1 point ago

                Hmm, I wonder what it'll look like if you composited it? Two shots, one long shutter one short so the right side is more in focus?

                Seems like a cool idea. Great shot nevertheless.

                I counter your photo with a "still exterior/moving train" that I took in NY about 6 or 7 years ago. Blam!

                [–]MChainsaw 0 points1 point ago

                This is a great representation of relative motion. Is the car moving or the rest of the world? The camera sure has it's own opinion on the matter. Can you really say it's lying?

                That's certainly the best picture from a train I've seen today.

                [–]Zzaproot 0 points1 point ago

                Looks like they're riding Blaine the Mono.

                This needs to be in a physics text book in the section about relativity.

                If you turn the shutter speed up on your camera to 2000/1 both sides would have been crystal clear HD with no motion blur, just sayin.

                I was on this streetcar back in about 2006 when some joker made a left turn in front of us and we totally his Ford Expedition. That streetcar bounce up in the air about an inch. Those things must just weigh a ton.
