Eadweard Muybridge - expert Photoshopper

Photoshop just lets me do for digital what I used to do manually for film in a darkroom @ 68° F then to printing dodging, burning in, etc, then into the developer tray...Oh what fond (??) memories. No more wet hands, and coat hangers with cardboard at the end to dodge or cardboard with a hole to burn in! Digital is nice and Photoshop is so versatile, I'll never learn all it can do in the time I have left on this Earth. Good on ya', Adobe!

I mean, too lazy or too cold to get out of the tent to catch that amazing sunrise on Rainer, just paint some fake light on the mountain with Landscape Pro and replace the sky with one I took from my frontporch in Maryland.
If your ability to discern a realistic looking scene is so bad that you can be fooled by Landscape Pro, that is not the fault of the photographer.

Eadweard Muybridge - was an interesting character - He was a bookseller - murderer - inventor - changed his name several times - AND - Using multiple cameras in a long row created the first moving picture of a horse galloping. The book "Inventor and Tycoon" by Edward Bell is a history book on this (I'm currently reading it). Eadweard Muybridge essentially invented the moving picture. He also made a good living selling pictures.

Murderer? I thought it was 'justifiable homicide'. Either way, he knew how to shoot!

Yes he did know how to shoot, but if the historian is correct, it was murder. according to the book he just shot the guy.

Well, doesn't it depend on the legal verdict which I understand to to be 'justifiable homicide'? He shot the guy that that was screwing his wife through the heart, according to the reports, but isn't the legal verdict the thing that stands the test of time in terms of how it is classified?

Glad someone brought this up. Eadweard did a lot of motion or locomotion studies of people and animals. These were interesting to artists, biologists, physiologists, and physicists alike. He photographed a horse gait with all four hooves off the ground. There are some great photography books of his remarkable work.
