When taking photographs of monuments or at public locations with a lot of foot traffic, it can be very difficult to take your picture. Well, if you have an only automatic point and shoot there is nothing you can do about it. Although, if you have a manual capable point and shoot and/or a Digital SLR, then people will not be a problem.
All you need to do is slow down your shutter enough that the people walking by the building become more and more transparent. I haven’t been able to completely remove the people from the image but the ghost trails in the image is rather cool and adds a creative element to a building or landmark photograph. Give it a try and experiment.
