Preparing the track and camera shed which housed 24 cameras
Plans for capturing movement: the cameras were lined up parallel to the
painted lines of progressive motion
The cameras shutters were triggered by the horse's
movements over the wires on the track.

Below is a link to Thomas Eakins' 'The Fairman Rogers Four in Hand' (May Morning in the Park) Coll. Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Based on Muybridge's work, it is said to be the first painting to depict a horse’s gait accurately. (Fairman Rogers sponsored M's work at Penn http://bit.ly/hpqwgg )
Eakins overworked the problem and it is a surprisingly dull canvas.
[Is something wrong? In both this and the next post I see only blank space where I think you intend there to be embedded video's -- f.y.i. I use Chrome]
Thanks. Are you able to see any of my posts with video? I can see these videos are working fine, although I did install privacy settings to eliminate ads.
