So this was mostly a play on the concept of “street photography”. The street is the literal subject, but everything about it - the absence of people or any depiction of street life, the use of a heavy, tripod-laden camera, the compositional formality - defies the conventions of that genre.

Have you ever tried day photos with two crossed polarizers?
An alternative way to remove cars from the streets even in rush hours.
@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org I’ve never used the two-polarizer trick, but I use ND filters a lot. Sometimes for ultra-long exposures, but usually just to get a bit of motion blur in there.
