webdude Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 There are so many beautiful pictures of downtown and some other places, and they all seem walkable but they all look like ghost towns, with always so few people, why?I saw some pictures of woodlands that do have some ppl but still seem sparse.

Also many are taken on the weekends when the population is relatively sparce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another aspect is that downtown has an air conditioned underground tunnel system that is far more pedestrian-friendly than a place without A/C and plenty of cars with impatient drivers. In other neighborhoods, the truth is that unless there is some kind of special event, people just don't walk around randomly for the whimsical purpose of being pedestrians. They will take the paths of least resistance...which usually entail driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 i try NOT to get folks in my city shots. it dates the photo and i generally don't like random people. Ditto. I always wait till people pass, or I make sure the picture I shoot is above heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron4tx Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I agree. I wait until they pass. They can be a distraction from the subject plus they may not want to be photographed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
