Magically removed visitors....
Jan. 22nd, 2011 12:41 pmMore fun with slow shutterspeeds: how to remove people from a scene? Use a very slow shutterspeed. The photo below was taken in one of the rooms at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, an always crowded tourist site.
Exposure: 15 secs.
It's usually hard to take photos of rooms like this, and not have other sightseers block everything -- except if you're a professional, maybe, and can take photos after hours. The rest of us have to resort to magic tricks....
You do end up with some ghosting, depending on how long an exposure you use and how fast the people move, but I don't mind that at all for pictures like this. It adds a bit of life to what would otherwise be a very lifeless room.
