Art institute comes alive (1/2)
A museum is only alive when people visit. This idea seemed best represented by colored ghosts of the live crowd in the black & white museum. Digital Harris shutter effect made by combining different RGB color layers from three sequentially shot frames.
For the curious, this is the Philadelphia, museum of art. The desaturated background was achieved by using color layers from images with different exposure values, effectively giving blue +1 EV, green +0 EV, and red -1 EV.
Edit: The method I think I used may be different than what I actually did. I don't have access to photoshop at the moment, so I can't verify this. The odd colors of the ghosts suggest I did something different. As noted by Hello, I am Bruce (below) the background is completely monochrome. This effect can be achieved by converting the source images to monochrome before further manipulation. Using these for the three color layers in the composite will give color where images differ (things moving), and B&W elsewhere. Look here for an example and description of method.
