Artist's Comments

The title simply means "obscure tram". I chose a Viennese slang word for tram because it simply emphasises what's going on. Vienna is a weird place, esp. when it comes to it's people. The Viennese are basically a very cranky folk, and they show their worst sides while sitting in the underground or tram. Somehow, this crankyness is sometimes very annoying, but charming. It simply belongs to the Viennese character. I'm on the picture too, by the way - find me.

I once heard someone say: "I love Austria, if it weren't for the Austrians."

Another excellent piece of work. You're getting really good at this, especially when combining it with a sort of streetphotography like here.

Nice capture! I really like your blend of photojournalism and classic b/w technique in this picture.

I am not sure which one is you, but I'll guess the thing on the lower left hand corner is your messnger bag, since I bet you wouldn't want your camera to be alone by itself on the tram, so you have to be near it. :D

COOOL. Ich hab dazu mal ne Frage, wie hast du es denn hinbekommen, die Kamera 4 Minuten in einer Bahn so still stehen zu lassen. Die wackelt doch ständig und bremst und beschleunigt. Ich hab das schon mehrmals versucht. Da gab's nix scharfes :(

Ich hab insgesamt 3 Aufnahmen gemacht, 2 davon verwackelt. Also erstmal: Vergiss das Stativ, das wird einfach nicht Teil der Bahn. Ich hab die Kamera auf so eine Art Vorsprung gestellt, auf dem oft Leute sitzen. Auf den hab ich die Kamera draufgedrückt, ganz fest. So ist die Kamera teil der sich bewegenden Bahn, d.h. die Sitze, der Boden etc sind scharf, weil die das selbe Bezugssystem haben.

Ich sag Dir, es ist scheiß anstrengend und man braucht Glück und hofft, dass der Fahrer nicht zu abrupt stopt und losfährt.
