Very, Very Fast 'Shutter' Speed - Photos of a Nuclear Explosion

"1,000,000,000th Of A Second"
Yellow Swordfish (February 14, 2006)

"These photos have been around a long time but I have to thank my son for pointing them out to me. They were taken by the legendary Harold Edgerton in the Nevada desert at a range of 7 miles at 1/1,000,000,000th of a second, at night. These 3 pictures show the first 3 milliseconds of an atomic bomb detonation."

Three photos, more discussion, and a link to another site.

I've seen one of the photos before, but not the other two. Quite remarkable photography and science here.
