I also posted that I would point out some photography lessons in the process. As you might expect in a beautiful place like this there are thousands of people. I did wait until a little later when the crouds had decreased somewhat, but since I couldn't wait forever and it was getting quite cold I was forced to get my picture. Several people were in this exposure, and no I did not photoshop them out. I simply closed the lens down and lengthened the exposure so that they erased themselves. Since they were moving they simply became invisible. If one of them had stopped for more than a second or so I would have been in trouble.

Wow! Your technique description in mind-blowing! I am a point-and-shoot kind of gal, so I admire the skilled masters. ;)
Beautiful photo.
My Curved photos are up. I hope you get some time to visit me! Have a wonderful weekend.

It's a great shot on it's own, but knowing how you did it makes it more impressive.
That was a combination of both luck and skill - the luck being that nobody meandered while the exposure was going on. Cool shot!
A very lovely picture. I had no idea that could be done to "ignore" moving people. I have so much to learn about photography.
Beautiful shot and interesting post.
That is absolutely freaking amazing! You were shooting digital with a tripod, yes? So impressed!
Thank you for stopping by my post - have a great rest of your weekend! :-)
Really terrific photography!
Thanks for checking us out today. Look forward to seeing what you come up with next week.
Sneaky, sneaky! What a cool technique!
And I LOVE the beautiful lighted trees! Isn't the holiday season grand?!
Cool technique to get rid of the people. Would this also work in a daylight shot? Great photo. I appreciate your comments on my post.
What a beautiful shot and clever tecnique!! well done.
Enjoy your weekend.

Looks really very festive !
Wonderfully quiet picture. It was interesting reading about the technical aspects of this shot. I also like working with a tripod for longer exposures at night. Unfortunately the time I have to spend on taking pictues is very short right now. (And I need a new tripod. Christmas-gift-idea if any of my nearest relatives are reading this!) And when I am using the children as models, as I did for this theme, I use the flash to get it done quickly.
Happy Weekend!

A lovely photo and a clever technique :-)
Creatively captured. Great shot!
Nice photo and very interesting explanation of how you managed to capture the sight sans (visible) people! :)
A great photo...
Thanks for your visit.
That is spectacular!!!
Wow most impressive, not only the photograph itself but how you acheived it! I wish my skills were 1/10 as good as yours.
Thanks for visiting my humble photo.
An excewllent photo and a great way of getting rid of moving people too!
So lovely.
Very interesting lesson. I had no idea you could do that.
I'm so pleased that so many of you enjoyed this photo. I'm also glad that I decided to talk about the invisible people. One of my purposes for this blog was to both experiment and show new and different techniques, which is why I am doing the "10 Cool Features" series. You can get to that by going to the home page and clicking on it in the "Label Cloud". I will try to do a post on the "invisible people" concept shortly after I have completed the "10 Cool Features series". And to answer RJ Flamingo's question, yes I was shooting digital on a tripod. To answer girasoli's question - we'll experiment with that in the "invisible people" post.
A truly beautiful photo, and I enjoyed reading about how you took it.
Thanks for visiting my PhotoHunt and have a great week!
That's a very nice photo. Thanks for dropping by.
Your photo is so beautiful and your tip - well I'm going to have to try that. I'm not photographer though I just point and shoot.
Your blog is great. Great photos.
thanks for visiting my blog.
So, so pretty! And festive! :)
What a gorgeous shot! I sure appreciated reading up on the technique.
Brother Law!!
