Sure, one can photoshop whatever they'd like, better skies, better water, etc. It's been done for years. However, it's far more satisfying to me, as a photographer, to capture a "real" scene
His scene were"real", as far as photography gets. Do you think people couldn't see the sky when they were standing there? Do you think it looked blown out white to them? Muybridge was overcoming the limitations of his camera, just as we do today, to create scenes that more closely represent what he saw and felt while he was standing there. For some reason people today think overcoming camera limitations is bad, but back then people loved it.
