The dangers of shockwaves and radiation required the camera to be placed 7 miles from the detonation site on a tower some 75 feet in the air. Exposure time was one-hundred-millionth of a second. The exposure time was so small that no conventional mechanical shutter could be used. A magnetic field was created around two polarized lenses that were rotated, permitting light to pass through an optical system.

I will be driving by the test grounds on my way to Albuquerque this weekend. I won’t be using equipment this sophisticated, but I will get some pics of the balloons going up? Hey, so it isn’t an atomic detonation captured with a shutter moving at a millionth of a second. Sue me.
