            From 1861 to 1866 Eadweard took professional photography classes. This triggered him to stop taking up writing and go toward photography and stop motion pictures.  A wealth businessman stand Foard a racehorse owner hired Eadweard later on in his career for photographic studies. Easweard also wanted to know I the horse would have all his feat off the ground when it is galloping but know one ever had a photo because there was also one leg on the ground. So stand Foard hired hired him to solve the question. Eadwared is now famous for this work and it is called the 1878 horse in motion and how he did this was he lined up numerous large glass plate camera shutters around the track and it was triggered by the tread of the horse when it passed by. But we know now that he used clock work to take the photo. This created a new wave because it showed people that the horses legs were all off the ground when they were underneath not when they were extended.
