This photo was considered Cartier-Bresson most successful photo. During this time this was considered a modern motion  because how Cartier-Bresson portrays that the leaping man will never hit the puddle, the split-second image is permanently frozen in time. The improvements in camera technology allowed for such images to be made and this progress is celebrated in Cartier-Bresson's photographs.

Cartier-Bresson captured the instant when an ever-moving image (in this case) a bicyclist streaking by an iron railing, achieves a timeless harmony of form, expression, and content. Cartier-Bresson used a miniature Leica camera, which allowed for thirty-six exposures in quick succession and, because of its compact serviceability, acted as a true extension of the eye.

Kyo Koike was a Japanese-American Photographer who was born in Japan, became a doctor in Japan who then later moved to Seattle, Washington. In 1924 he and other Photographers founded Seattle Camera Club and worked to unite Japanese and American Photographers through activities and exhibitions.

This image was taken in the State of Washington of the Comet Falls by Koike in 1937. Koike, being a founder of the Seattle Camera Club , intuitively captured the image through utilizing all three of the tones: dark, light and neutral. These three tones are very common in pictorialism because the photographer can convey the meaning of their image through manipulation of the tones. In this case he utilizes dark tones to capture the trees, light tones to brighten the water falls so that you can visibly see the water running down the mountain and then furthering itself to another smaller falls. Koike also uses natural tone which is noticeable as we look to the top of the mountain we can identify distinct features of the Comet Falls.

Sea of winter was taken in 1941 by Koike . The image is utilizing the natural tones of the landscape in order to capture an image that looks so out of place it should be a painting. The depth of field of the image follows an impressionate pattern as it naturally fades away it produces a lonely tone being the dock is the only aspect of the image that is darkened enough to visibility.

Moons feature in many of Ansel Adams photographs. It is difficult to take photographs including the moon where it doesn't either appear as an over-exposed white disc, or if a negative giving this is manipulated at the printing stage, a featureless grey disc. By 1960 Adams was sufficiently skilled in anticipating exposure, in his visualization of his images and in the practical application of his zone system, that his photographs including the moon could show the moon in detail and as a three dimensional object.
