Capturing an Atom Bomb on Film

I've never seen these pictures before. They are to say the least incredible.

I can only imagine what it was like being at a testing site and watching from a safe point miles away.

Check out the pictures here

I just watched the slide show and what a set of pictures! Click on the audio button at the beginning for the narration too. After seeing the pics I am left with some questions, for I have never seen some of this imagery.
Thanks Oozil for bring this onboard....

Pic 2- This must be right before the mushroom starts to form I am guessing. Looks like a small sun.
Pic 4 - Look at that water column, man that is powerful! I wonder about the extent of destruction in the ocean, I have never seen any stats, but I am sure it does some damage.
Pic 5 - Those fast action shots at the beginning of the explosion is surreal. I can't tell where the ignition point is, maybe there isn't one, just a globe of energy appears. It looks kind cellular to me. Are those spikes at the bottom the first flames?
Pic 6 - Are those bubbles? Or are they debris, that happens to be round and translucent? This pic looks like a morphing organism.
Pic 7 - Curious what the white dots are...
Pic 8 - Did these photographers live out a natural lifespan? I am sure they felt the explosion no?
Pic 10 - I wonder what those streamers are?
Pic 12 - The blimp one is telling. and I hope it was unmanned for the test.
Pic 14-17 - The bus igniting, then subsiding from blast wave, then burns again is intense. Every square inch is roasted.
Pic 21 - Wow, this one I thought was a sarcastic promotion shot or something but it is real. It looks like they are at the movies or something.

Look at pic 8 and 9 also.
They also have similar artifacts

edit on 5-10-2010 by SLaPPiE because:

Those steamers as you call them are actualy marking rockets sent up just before the blast to gauge the size of the mushroom cloud, that's why they are in a spaced pattern.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a nuclear bomb goes off in your city? With Google's Maps framework and a bit of Javascript, you can see the outcome.

On picture "7". It appear's to me that the magnetic energy from the Earth's surface is consumed into a vaccum inside the fireball then dissapating the entire energy that rip's through the opening's of the hole where the white light is allocated as "white dot's"?

Thanks GRB and DC
What do you think about the clear "bubbles" in # 6?

What do you think about the clear "bubbles" in # 6?

From my perspective, the bubbles representing oxygen and the main bubble representing a universe of energy from within it's core. For instance imagine the universe beyond our mathematical thinking capacity and understanding of what we think we know of the materilistic plane and very little about Quantum Physic's.

From my understanding 10 million degree's centigrate if not more is developed in a 'no-time' period as to where these element's meet eachother and react and as the LIGHT is created thus within the super-heated core the atomic energy is pushed beyond the mathematical understanding of 'time'.

Therefore my conclusion of the bubble is a 'no-time' vaccum of a smaller version of the universe where there's no such thing as small from a perspective of 'no-time.
