Berlyn Brixner is best known as being the head photographer for the Trinity test, the first detonation of a nuclear weapon in July 1945. Brixner himself was stationed 10,000 yards away from the explosion itself, but had dozens of cameras running from different locations to capture the shot. Most photographs of the test were arranged by Brixner. Image File history File links The 1945 TRINITY nuclear explosion, early stage of the fireball. ...
