•  Support I guess it never exists without the buses, so useless to require anything else. Already excellent this way. --A.Savin 15:38, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
  • There are ways to remove cars/people from scenes though. Just takes a bit of patience and Photoshop. Diliff (talk) 23:02, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the link; as far as I understand it would require a series of tripod shots, which is probably not the case here, and unlike the scene with the people who move around quickly we have here a scene with buses which - I guess - stop for a relatively long time, so that I doubt that an otherwise homogenous series would have been possible. There is of course always a possibility to apply PS cloning, but in this case with relatively big parts of street and facade obscured by the buses, it will probably not really work, or just with visible retouching traces, which I certainly would not prefer. --A.Savin 10:03, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the link too. I had heard about that, but I don't usually take my tripod with daylight, I prefer (by now) single shots, though I'd like to learn how to stitch pictures like you do. However this is one of the busiest places in Madrid and one of the main bus stops (even at 3am) and you have to wait for the sequence of traffic lights to have no cars in the foreground, waiting for a chance to have no buses and no cars would take forever (I understood the technique, but imo some parts would always be obscured, it is very busy), to have some good takes it took me about 20 minutes and I was starting to be sun-burnt haha; in this one less than half a second later a few motorbikes would appear in the picture coming from the left. I also think buses are somehow part of the place, so it's not so disturbing. As Alexandr says, cloning would also be difficult, and I don't master photoshop. --Kadellar (talk) 10:54, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
      • That's fair, I wasn't arguing that you must remove the cars and buses anyway. :-) I was just saying it is technically possible. It's fine when they are in the background and not obscuring much of the subject. Diliff (talk) 18:38, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
        • I know, thanks. I will surely try someday in Madrid. --Kadellar (talk) 11:19, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
