Today’s photo deceives with an apparently empty market.

I made this 6 minute exposure in a very very crowded West Side Market in Cleveland on a Saturday afternoon. The crowd was so thick you could barely move, but because of the long exposure, the place looks empty!

This photo was chosen because it highlights the effect of a long exposure on a crowded area. To learn more about the use of long exposures, check out our article on multi-lapse.
