I looked at this a while ago, at the time photos had to be long exposures, several minutes. So if someone was walking along the roady, they would ‘blur’ into the road. and it like the reason the two people weren’t blurry was because one of the people was having their shoes shines by the other.
seems right

im sorry? im afraid I dont get it
widely considered…
I love this photo though.
I’m wildly considering this too.
I can’t hear with it about a Deguerreotype without reliving the entire events of the first Life is Strange
By human beings. Aliens have been doing it for millennia.
Maybe someone with more knowledge of photographic history can explain, but I thought early cameras required very long exposure time, and people had to stay perfectly still in order to capture a clear portrait of them.
If this is the case, then how does this photo appear to include people mid-stride? Or are they literally posing for this?
There aren’t any people mid-stride. The accepted explanation for the two people visible on the street corner are that they are a shoeshiner and a client, therefore they stayed still (enough) for the duration of the exposure.
Oh I see it now. Neat. I’m glad that there’s an actual explanation. Thanks.
