ClassificationsPHOTOGRAPH
Label TextThe sound of the rifle amplified through a microphone triggered the stroboscopic flash which made this photograph possible. The split-second process enabled Edgerton to capture the image of a speeding bullet penetrating the swirling heat and smoke patterns of a flame.
