19 Dec 2018
National Geographic is coming to Sea World, Shekou, Shenzhen from December 22nd, 2018 to March 24th, 2019, to share their Classic Image Feast, a video and photo exhibition that spans more than a hundred years.
Many of us have grown up seeing the world through the fantastic photos and stories shared to us by National Geographic. Now we have an wonderful opportunity to recap over 100 years of their history in a single exhibit! Here are a few examples of what we can expect at the exhibit.
National Geographic's first outdoor photo
126 years ago, US Navy assistant officer J. Q Norfolk accidentally photographed this island on the sea.
National Geographic's first hand-painted photo
In order to set off the smile of the woman, the photographer Eliza Sidmo hand-painted on the film.
National Geographic's first live, wild animal photo
Before 1909, photos of wild animals were mostly of dead animals. The photographer, Carl Ekley, photographed a resting Bruce zebra in the plain of the Ati River; launching the filming of live wildlife by National Geographic.
The first underwater photograph
In 1927, marine biologist William Langley, and the first director of the National Geographic Photography Research Institute, Charles Martin, captured this image while using a raft to drag the explosive lighting powder equivalent to about 2400 light bulbs.
Many "firsts"; such as, the first night-time white-tailed deer, the first photo about Tibet, the first photo about Afghanistan, and the first submersible that can be manipulated...·There are countless “first time” photos included.
The "National Geographic Classic Image Feast" Shenzhen Maritime World Station is divided into eight exhibition areas, with more than 100 classic photos covering the period from 1888 to 2018; including, "In-depth danger", "Song of Life", "Video History", "Humanistic Exploration", "Picture of Photography", "Going Entering science, "memory of the city" and "anger of the earth".
"Deep into danger"
In 1985, the National Geographic Society announced to the world the location of the Titanic, a luxury ship that had sunk into the sea for more than a century.
Humanities exploration, culture, life
In April 1965, the Islamic photographer Thomas J. Abercrombie wrote to the editor of National Geographic magazine, and he was granted permission from the Saudi Arabian authorities to film the Hajj pilgrimage.
Audio-Visaul: Great Migration
In addition to the wonderful stories presented in more than a hundred photos in the National Geographic Classic Image Feast, the public can also experience the vast journey of natural animals through the video of “Great Migration”.
These are just a few examples of the hundreds of photos that will be on exhibit. Don't miss it!
