Everyone should read this… 🚨 The NYT Reporter who Captured the Bullet Flying Past Trumps Head, was using the Kind of Camera & Settings you’d Use to Capture Live-Fire Action, Such as a Head Exploding! Michael Yon, one of the most experienced combat war correspondents living today, made a Compelling assessment. I put together his assessment in a more understandable breakdown, provided additional details, and my analysis. 🔴 All Quoted (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/us/politics/photo-path-trump-assassination.html) from the NYT • Who was the Photographer? —— A famous veteran NYT photographer named Doug Mills. • What Kind of Equipment & Settings were used? —— Mr. Mills was using a Sony A1 and 24mm f/1.4 GM, capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. Priced at $6,499. —— He took these photos with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second. Extremely Fast by industry standards. The above is quoted from NYT themselves. 🔴 The Perfect “Shot” • If the gunman was firing an AR-15-style rifle, the .223-caliber or 5.56-millimeter bullets they use travel at roughly 3,200 feet per second when they leave the weapon’s muzzle. —— “And with a 1/8,000th of a second shutter speed, this would allow the bullet to travel approximately four-tenths of a foot while the shutter is open.” • Most cameras used to capture images of bullets in flight are using extremely high speed specialty cameras not normally utilized for regular photography, so catching a bullet on a side trajectory as seen in that photo would be a one in a million shot and nearly impossible to catch even if one knew the bullet was coming. At that distance and trajectory, had any bullet hit Trump, that type of camera and settings would have easily captured his head frankly exploding. Were they there for the “Perfect Pulitzer Prize Head Shot”…? 🔴 COUNTER ARGUMENTS • “Some journalists argue Its usage by the NYT photographers is not unusual.” —— Only professional photographers can answer this question. • “Shooting at 1/8000 at f1.6 in daylight is also not unusual, but necessary for proper exposure.” —— again, only Professional and unbiased photographers can answer that question. 🔴 CRITICAL QUESTIONS THAT WILL EITHER PROVE OR DEBUNK THIS • Examine any and all Video footage of the Photographer, Doug Mills, at least 1-2 minutes before the shot. —— check body language. —— how many images did he capture leading up to THAT moment? —— was he ultra focused in the moments leading up to the shots? • How many times has Doug Mills photographed at a Trump rally? —— apply that same question to other cameramen & photographers. • Who made the decision to send Doug Mills there? —— climb the ladder. • How common is it for these kinds of cameras and these settings used to capture rally speeches, where the “object” being photographed is standing still? —— Trump campaign photographers can weigh in easily on this, or maybe even Gene Ho. • Why were all legacy media outlets showing THIS rally Live? —— they rarely do that… —— CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and others decided to show THIS rally? —— Find out who gave those outlets the green light to show this rally live. Climb the ladder. These questions can lead the Trump campaign to answers.
It was a burst of shots which is typical with modern cameras when you're trying to capture someone speaking otherwise you get some odd facial expressions which you don't publish if you want to keep your job. He was trying to freeze the motion of the flag behind Trump.
Being 24mm these image are still cropped at the top/bottom but you can see the flag is nicely captured with some softness from shooting at f1.6

Or the opposite, he was hoping to catch a weird facial expression of Trump, as these shots are the ones leftist media usually publish. 😁
Unlikely, trump loves his photos.
Are you saying Trump has said he likes the photos from this photographer?
