While a policeman held up traffic, the cover photo for The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album is taken, showing the Fab Four striding across a zebra crossing outside Abbey Road studios in London. Six shots were captured by photographer Iain MacMillan, and the session was completed in less than ten minutes. For you photo buffs, MacMillan used a Hasselblad camera with a 50mm lens, aperture f/22, and a shutter speed of 1/500 of a second.
