EDWEARD MUYBRIDGE - THE WORLD'S FIRST ACTION PHOTOGRAPHER

HISTORY'S TIDBIT - In 1877, photographer Edweard Muybridge was hired by California business tycoon Leland Stanford to establish whether, during a gallop, all four of a horse's hooves leave the ground at the same time. This was a question that was hotly debated at the time among racehorse enthusiasts. Muybridge managed to produce a film negative that did in fact reveal that, during a gallop, all four of the horse's hooves were off the ground at the same time, thus rendering the horse suspended in air for a split second.
