I went to Edweard Muybridge's exhibition in Tate Britain.
I didn't know about this photographer but I have seen some of his work, for example the stop - motion images of galloping horses... so it was pretty impressive to find out about the photographer who did the photos I have seen.
The Exhibition was more or less a time-line of the photos he has done; I don't know much about photography therefore I don't really know how to judge the quality of his work. However, the Yosemite photographs were really stunning... absolutely amazing (and I found out later why they looked so good! It was thanks to the 'Sky Shade' technique that Muybridge has developed for his landscape photos, in order to make it more realistic.)
The stop - motion photographs were interesting because you can see the different instantaneous movements; but I was more impressed about the idea that Muybridge developed the basis for the modern cinema with Zoopraxiscope.
