Robert
Capa, one of the great photographers of the story, said that if a photo
was not good enough was because you were not close enough.
It is probably right, and not just in the physical sense of the
expression, photography is better the more involved he is in the image
you want to photograph. This is an example of this, of historical photographs that we had changed the conception of the world.
This article also discusses the importance of photography (and the
photographer) of the powerful force that often has a "simple" image to
the moment.
Depending on the same and the context in which the scene is found, the
picture becomes more or less dramatic, but all have a common
denominator: they are history, changes and challenges faced by the man
since image photo could be done. We begin: icid 2016
Moving horse (1878)
Work of photographer Eadweard Muybridge and researcher of this
historical photograph shows (and explains) for the first time as the
horse remains in the air without touching the ground in a split second
while galloping.
For this he developed a mechanical shutter which obtained an exposure
time record and placed 24 cameras activated to step horse would go
shooting. This series of photos is the proof of the theory.

Falling Soldier (1936)
The image of the most iconic of Robert Capa (and the twentieth century), was taken un September 5, 1936 in Espejo (Cordoba). It is also one of the most famous photographs of the Spanish Civil War.

I approached and saw the starving and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but remember that she did not ask me. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, which was 32 years. He said he had lived in cold vegetables around and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat resting in the tent with her hugging her and seemed to know that my picture could help children and then helped me. There was some fairness in this.
