Muybridge photographed his subjects
moving in front of a black wall marked off with a grid of white threads.
He used up to 36 lenses with 12 to 24 cameras, placed at 30-, 60-, and
90-degree angles to his subjects. The two cameras placed at 30- and 60-degrees
were able to hold up to 12 lenses each. The 90-degree angle was known
as the lateral, or parallel, view, while the others Muybridge referred
to as the front and rear foreshortenings. With this set-up, a successful
session could result in as many as 36 negatives.
