Sometimes we just want to take a picture of no one, or we don't want to take too many passers-by, but there are so many helpless people that we can't feel the scenery from the picture and just feel that "people follow the crowd".

How can we avoid taking pictures of extra passers-by? We can find a way to avoid the extra passers-by during the early shooting. I couldn't avoid it, so I got rid of the passer-by P with the help of the later stage.

Primary method special angle in addition to the above method, you can also use a special shooting angle to avoid the crowd.

Upside down: shoot upside down from low to high, when passers-by enter the blind area of vision.

Occlusion: choose a promising composition and use the foreground to cover excess passers-by.

These two methods have limitations, only suitable for a single subject, and require the subject to have a certain height.

When there are few people, the first and easiest way is to choose a moment when there is no one to shoot. In popular classics, get up early and take pictures when there are few people. Although this is a simple method, it should also be the most difficult method to implement.

The advanced method slow door virtual through the long exposure shooting method, so that passers-by in the photo into a virtual shadow, to achieve the effect of blurring. The longer the exposure time, the cleaner the character will be virtual.

This method is suitable for shooting motionless subjects, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the camera does not move. According to the speed of the flow of people at the scene, it is almost OK to set a shutter of more than 2 seconds.

However, long exposure can easily cause the photo to be overexposed and turn white, so you need to use the ND filter. If it is taken at night when the light is dim, it will be no problem. If the phone has a special slow door mode, it will only become virtual and will not increase the exposure, such as Huawei's silk stream, you can shoot in this mode, and the iPhone will be exposed for a long time.

In the process of shooting, you need to place the camera or mobile phone on the tripod without any shaking, otherwise the whole picture will be burned out.

Multiple composite shots for the first photo, there is a passer-by on the left. Take the second picture, and there is a man on the right. You can take the unattended parts of the two photos and combine them into a new photo.

If there are a lot of people, the number of photos you need to take will increase, because you have to make sure that there is at least one picture of no one in every place.

Then open it in ps, each photo as a layer, and then use the mask to erase. If the previous shooting is handheld, then after importing ps, select all layers first, and then use the auto-align layers in the edit menu.

The following photo, taken at an intersection, has a large flow of people and traffic. Through the method of multiple compositing, only one pedestrian is retained as the visual point of interest of the photo.

Post-repair there are many ways to remove redundant elements in ps, and we need to choose the most concise one according to the characteristics of the photo.

The simpler the structure of the environment around the passers-by, the less difficult it is. If the structure of the environment around passers-by is complex, it needs to be carefully repaired.

For photos with complex environment, you need to use the imitation stamp tool to repair it carefully, as shown in the following picture.
