I'm still thinking long exposure.

Re: pic: Another strange thing about Atlanta

If it were a long exposure, the reflection of the green light in the puddle would most likely have changed too. Just grasping at straws

Re: pic: Another strange thing about Atlanta

If it was a timed exposure, the '0' in the crosswalk signal would not have a consistent look, there at least would be a dim bar across the middle if it crossed 2 seconds

Everyone knows you are supposed to dump balls 20" below the lights for a bonus.

This is an astute observation and it could indeed be a nail in the coffin for my theory.
I guess only Wayne knows for sure.

Save the picture and find out.

My thoughts? Wait until the light cycles back to green.

Re: pic: Another strange thing about Atlanta

How was this taken? You seem to be on the second or third floor of a building from the angle. Hotel?

And if I drove up to this thing, I don't even know what I'd do. Blame the programmer, probably.

I assume you're suggesting extracting the metadata in the image file?
I once was quite befuddled when a friend, to whom I had sent a digital picture of my son, knew the picture had been taken with an Olympus so-and-so camera and other stuff.
He explained it to me and it made sense.
I don't have any software that would show the exposure time, but it's probably in there.

Re: pic: Another strange thing about Atlanta

OK, now to solve the mystery.
Yes, it's a time lapsed photo.
Camera is a Nikon D80 with a 70-300 mm lens. Camera was set at 200 ISO.
The picture was taken from the 15th floor of the Downtown Hilton (where I was staying)
The counter below the light would count down to zero. When it hit zero the light would go through it's cycle green-yellow-red. I would hit the remote at 1 second and the camera would do the rest. About a 3 second shutter speed. The car at the light was going straight. That is why it isn't blurred.
It took about 10 tries to get it right.
