A close look at Eadweard Muybridge's Plate 310
I'm doing something a bit different today, and focusing on a single plate, number 310, from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking 1884 motion studies. Number 310 features a young man putting the shot from three angles. I will be showing every image in order by rows so that those of you with technical limitations on enlargement can see some detail. At the end, I will post a high resolution version that enlarges fairly well. I suggest blowing it up and scrolling horizontally to get the best impression of motion. If any of you photoshop geniuses want to make GIFs, I would be happy to have them and post them later. Below, a portrait photo of Mr. M.
The Muybridge documentary is really interesting. Complicated guy to put it mildly. Challenging life. Got screwed by Leland Stanford.
