- Summary
- A centralized organization was responsible for all technical motion- picture and still photography requlred by the various military effects projects at Operation UpshotKnothole. Motion-picture photography was employed to record the shock front of the blast and the effects of blast and thermal radiation on various test objects. All zero time technical photography was done from individual photo stations which were located at distances between 1150 ft and 1500 ft from ground zero. Results of the photography were successful at distances exceeding 2500 ft from ground zero. At closer distances, dust, thermal and nuclear radiations, blast, and rapidly changing illumination greatiy interfered with obtaining satisfactory results. In general, it was concluded that photographic instrumentation is feasible within certain limitations. (C.H.)
