An attempt to 'clear' the British Museum!
Two pictures blended, both over 4 minute exposures each. Used a 10-stop filter
Its still amazing how long some folk will stand in one place!

Brilliant effort Andy. I was there only last week and my pics pale in comparison to this. I see what you mean about the people. It was swarming this time last Friday. Four minutes! That is a long time to stand in one place.

Brilliant! I did one of these in the 1980's of Trafalgar Square. I had to use 50 ASA film, with two dark filters and make the exposure over an hour! Excellent result and you got the positioning spot-on. Did you get any comments, standing in the one place for four minutes?

Well eventually got one of the staff saying I needed a permit to use a tripod!! The one who stood for 4 minutes (& longer) was the shadowy shape just right off centre in the middle of the floor!
