I wonder, does this street or any of these building still stand? Does anyone know? ---G. 02:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- The closest thing I could find here is Boulevard theatre. It would be interesting to retake this photo, 177years later — Jack · talk · 14:03, Friday, 27 April 2007
Are we not also seeing another person? The one shining the shoes? Lindarosewood 01:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- He was moving around more, so he just looks like a blob. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 02:21, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone know where this picture is currently located? Is it at the University of Texas at Austin? I know the first photo taken by Niépce is there, but I thought they had this one too.
“It is of a busy street, but because exposure time was over ten minutes, the city traffic was moving too much to appear.”
If there was traffic the photo would show a blur of the traffic not the details of the pavement. Deville hubbard 12:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- This came up in the FP discussion for this image. It was the photographer himself who said that the street was busy, and my guess is that there is a big difference between his and our use of the word "busy". Toady that means bumper-to-bumper cars, but in 1830 it probably only meant the occasional carriage. If one of them goes by every minute, than each part of the photo is spending around 57 seconds per minute looking at the street, which would be enough to show details of it. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 13:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
