For instance, the naked eye cannot see the moment where all four of a horse's legs are in the air or the gradual life cycle of plants -- but cameras can capture these moments. Bill Shribman gives examples where photography can pick up where the eye leaves off.Lesson by Bill Shribman, animation by Flaming Medusa Studios Inc. Learn more about your ad choices.
