The coincidences oh the coincidences.
Last week it was discovered that austin capital might have opened a 120m short options position on Trumps stock (DJT) the day before the assassination...
This has started to make national news and then austin capital comes out to deflect by sayig its a filing error... ok... guess we will have to trust our 3 letter agents to determine truth on that. The anons digging also linked them to the Bush family.
But then there's Doug Mills. Doug also has connections to the Bush family and was the man responsible for photographing Bush in the elementary school the day of the 911 attack. Doug is the photographer who was at the Trump rally and caught the bullet streaked photo.
Any optical engineer or professional photographer, such as Doug Mills knows this photo taken is very suspicious... why would Doug Mills be at a Trump rally and have a camera capturing that many frames per second? First a high speed camera that can capture a bullet traveling at 3000 feet per second is not something you would be usig at a Trump rally. The exposure time of that speed would drown out the light and be useless to capture still photos. It would also fill any memory card up so quickly with over exposed garbage photos.
Maybe Doug is just a stupid photographer... or maybe he knew and was expecting the photo of Trump's head explodig, to seed everywhere and literally start a civil war.
Im sure META had no knowledge of it either, which is why Trumps FB account magically is unbanned the day before so all those who use FB could see the coincidental Doug Mills photo being tagged for DJT to really piss folks off.
Anyways... im sure we just have a big coincidence here and shouldn't look at it as anything but that. ,(Sarcasm)
Shutter speed doesn't fill up your memory card, this isn't video, it's photography. Also this man has been shooting political events for decades, so he's been around lots of politicians, doesn't mean he has as meaningful connection to them. The shutter speed was 1/8000 which doesn't drown out the sunlight with professional lenses that can be set to f2 and lower.
With all that said, the shutter was overkill and shooting with such a small aperture risks blurring critical details so I found his choice of camera settings to be unusual yes, but not out of the realm of reality. Would he have captured the most perfect shot of a head being blown off that day? Yes. Did he have foreknowledge? Honestly his camera settings aren't proof of anything. He simply may have wanted a shallow DoF at that point and cranked up the shutter to compensate. I would not have used those settings myself, but I shoot nikon, he has a different rig and different style. So who knows.
He'd be taking hundreds of photos of the same shot with the shutter speed he was using. So yeah, unless he is storing them on magic storage space, his memory card would be filled up very quickly.
Maybe he just wanted that perfect shot of Trumps hair.
A 240GB card can hold over 2000 "uncompressed" raw images. I doubt he's shooting uncompressed and i doubt he skimps on cards. Your argument isn't valid.
Understood. Disregard my comment. I find the scenario questionable and will leave it at that.
Okay. Just for future reference there's no industry standard but wedding photographers can shoot a couple thousand pictures per wedding. Most get culled because someone blinked or such.
