Trinity Atomic Test complete takes

Although many rolls of 16mm film were exposed on the Trinity test, 3 rolls of 35mm black and white film were run where were called Newsreel rolls. These are the most famous shots of the Trinity test as they were photographed for unclassified distribution. I inserted slates to identify each roll. The wide shot uses a 75mm lens, the second shot uses a 450mm telephoto lens and is aimed near the bottom of the explosion. The last shot is with a tighter telephone lens aimed at the barrage balloons.
