Hero Post-Updated-Time

My initial idea for my Time post was going to be at the train station with people running to the train trying to catch it. I instead used the Santa Monica pier where there were more people around to create the motion that I wanted. I had my subject placed in the center of the pier with people walking around him. Because I couldn't use a tripod I had to position myself sitting down against a trash can to stabilize myself and camera. Another issue I had was people being too polite. I needed the people to walk around my subject but many people would stop and apologize for getting in the shot. Or some would go around. We had to wait for swarms of people to walk by to get what I needed. I took this image right after sunset. I had imagined more lights being on but they didn't turn on until late.

Before the edit

Because of the issue with many people trying to be polite I had to use to images and merge them together to create an image with a lot of people walking by.
