Today I visited Eadweard's Muybridge exhibition at TATE BRITAIN. Muybridge was an English photographer who lived in the USA. He was at the forefront of technical advances of the second part of the 19th century. When I saw his works I was amazed, because if I didn't see the date, I would never believe that they were taken so early. From what I heard the first cameras were invented back to the 13th century, but only after 1920-1930s became more common. So yeah, for me the quality and complicated panorama views were pretty unexpectable. Eadweard Muybridge devoted the whole life to the movement studies. I think his zoopraxiscope was a great invention, which did the first steps in animation. And his motion studies of people and animals were used in various US universities for science research and experiments. When I looked at his photos of landscapes with reflection I had a feeling that I am a part of the photograph. Especially, on the Vernal fall 1872 I imagined myself standing there, so I even could here the sound of waterfall. To sum up, I want to say that the exhibition was very interesting and everyone doesn't matter whether you are a creative or just a normal personal will enjoy it. I strongly recommend, as it is worth to be seen.
