The photographs are from the book:  "How to Photograph an Atomic Bomb" by Peter Kuran.

Strangely beautiful and extremely terrifying. Thanks for sharing. I will listen to to the audio later.

Amazing images.  Chris Sanderson will love the pix of cameramen with their Mitchells, wearing little but street clothes as they photograph nuclear blasts.

They finally cleared up a question I have been wondering about for 50+ years.  Those thin smoke plumes next to the blast were trails from rockets sent up to measure the blast at different heights in the atmosphere.
