Nothing, absolutely nothing, in photography beats stupid blind luck. Years ago I saw a motivational speach done by former Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Terry Bradshaw. He was talking about how, I think it was during a Superbowl, he had dropped back to pass and one or two defensive players on the other side had read it perfectly, broke into the open and were coming straight at him unblocked! Just before he got hit, unable to see anything past these monster defensive linemen coming at him like freight trains, he threw the ball as hard and far as he could, mainly with the intent to save himself from a massive hit. He was hit anyway! As he was pulling himself off the turf half dazed he heard the crowd roar! Somehow, Lynn Swann had come down with the ball and scored a touchdown! Bradshaw said that his first thought was, "He caught THAT!? Man! I'm good!!" If you photograph long enough, especially action, sooner or later we all get a shot where we go, "Wow! I caught that??!!" A friend of mine used to say that in photography it is often a fact that if you SAW it you didn't get it! With today's rapid fire cameras, 30-40 fps and faster, we are basically shooting video. If he had known the bullet was coming he likely would never been able to get that shot.
IF true the bullet track should only have been visible for about 4.5 inches. What we see is much closer to 12 inches. That said, the bullet would have been traveling at approximately 8000 fps. Something isn't adding up correctly. If he was shooting at about 1/3200, maybe.
To use 8000 of a second, it means he knew what was going to happen, the entire team failed and Trump is going to make them pay for what they did.
Wow. Fortunate picture. Probably the only picture ever like this
I love how this guy does not talk about who he voted for or whatever he’s just stating facts about a camera. Love you man keep up the good work.
You only need the one photo!
Imagine if it was just staged for the photo 🥺
You also have to consider the continuous shutter, which makes it a lot easier I guess. Great math
You are really good at math😅
Trump 2024 MAGA
Sony alpha 1 😍
another evidence to prove that cameramen can travel at the speed of light
Why would you shoot at 1/8,000 when is just a speech?

Almost looks photoshopped, imagine that.
Cameraman never dies
What are the odds it's fake? 🤔
The Sony A1 max speed is 1/32,000 not 8000. That’s just the ss he used
You know your math! Brilliant!
I wanna know why Trump zioni$t is still alive 😡
Isnt it one in a thousand wtf
Gcse photography be like
More than one bullet fired
I feel so bad for the guy, he miss.

must be a Democrat!
Bro did the math
