New Orleans Streetcar


Photo caption: This is a streetcar in New Orleans traveling back towards The Quarter on St. Charles Ave. I held the camera against the window sill, making sure to divide the image equally between the inside and the outside. Shot with a Nikon D700 at .8 sec @ f/20, ISO 400, Nikkor 18.0-35.0mm f/3.4-4.5 lens set at 23mm.

This photo was submitted to National Geographic’s 2012 Photo Contest (Places). Photographer Don Chamblee is 53 years old, and has enjoyed cameras all his life, but he didn’t start to get serious until college. Now, at 53 years old, he takes photos professionally and works in stock and fine art photos. You can read more about Don at his website.

Our photo pick of the day is “Flight of the Rays,” taken by German conservation photographer Florian Schultz in the Sea of Cortez, off the coast of Baja California in Mexico. In this photo thousands of sting rays are swimming together in a massive school, as seen on an aerial expedition. The photo won the ‘Underwater World’ category at the 2010 Environment Photographer of the Year awards. We were so impressed by some of the other photo winners, that we’ve included our favourites in the gallery above.
