Reminds me of one of the most terrifying and evil photos that I've ever seen. 
It was a shot of the beginning of the actual?explosion when we set off an 
H-Bomb. I don't know how many milli-seconds after the device was detonated the 
shot was taken, but the actual explosion was no more than 50 feet across. To 
me, it was a glimpse straight into hell. How the camera survived is a mystery 
to me too.

And speaking of fast shutter speeds, back in the late 1950's, I had a? 35mm SLR 
with a shutter speed of 1-2,000th of a second. Out at Riverside one hot, sunny 
afternoon, Dan Gurney was testing a 4.9 Ferrari. He was clocked screaming down 
the 1.1 mile back straight @ 171MPH, and the shot I got stopped every spoke in 
his Borani wire wheels as if they were standing still.

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba
