I'm a sucker for slow shutter speeds

WOW! very very cool! Great job. Thanks for posting!

Came back for another look... the ghost people add so much to this, and the fact the two in front did not move is amazing. I think they are taking a photo too, that is why.

anyway, glad you are a sucker for slow shutter speeds... I am inspired to give it a try.

Great shot ..... however I would crop off the 'ghost people' on the left as I find it distracts, and then that leaves you with the two taking a photo with the bus/tram trails in front !

Love it. I am a fan of ghost people and find they are not distracting to me usually but in this case I have to agree with frogfish as they really don't add much. Can't believe how still the two photographers were and that tells the story. What a wonderful capture. Thanks for sharing it.

Oops, I've fixed the link now. I've also cropped out the ghosts on the left. It's tricky getting good pics with 1sec+ exposures, my keeper rate is really low and I never know if I even have any keepers until I get the pics onto the computer.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I appreciate them

Ah yes. Good one mate.
Not shy to pull out your tripod and shoot away in the CBD...

Thanks all!

Tripod? Nah, I am the human tripod, 1.3s handheld is no problem But for my really long exposures I use one of these ... so I guess I really do have no shame
