If you have someone or something enter the frame quickly, it can result in "ghosting."

As a matter of fact, with long exposures, you can set up on a highway overpass, and if the exposure is long enough, can photograph the highway to make it look empty even though there are cars/trucks driving along the highway.

Thank you so much for the explanation. It's interesting and fun. So you can make it look like something is there that isn't and make it look like nothing is there when there is. Wow.

I love that photo and almost voted for it. Still had to go with Smile. IDK, when you see a person that perfectly photogenic at that moment who's willing...
