@nytimes: Doug Mills, a veteran photographer for The New York Times, was only feet away from Donald Trump when the shooting started at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Mills kept his finger on the shutter button, photographing as the scene unfolded. It was only afterward, while reviewing his photos, that he realized he had captured the apparent path of a bullet used in the assassination attempt against the former president. He explains what he saw. Tap the link in our bio to read more. Video by Doug Mills, Nikolay Nikolov, Rebecca Suner and Alexandra Ostasiewicz. #Trump #TrumpRallyShooting

CNN is now trying to claim this never happened- wonder why they have such poor ratings

I thought it was a screenshot from a video. Even more impressive that it was actually photographed

1/8000. Holy smokes. I don’t know if my aging D610 is capable of shooting that fast. How I envy these guys and their equipment.

How was his hand already moving towards his ear before the bullet got there?

If the length of the bullet streak is 30cm and the shutter speed is 1/8000s. The bullet is traveling 2400m/s. What kind of rifle has that power?

Why was he shooting at 1/8000th of a second…? That is nowhere near normal shutter speed…

I don’t think people understand just how amazing this is at an f1.6! That’s a very small line of focus at a very high shutter speed (only way to catch that bullet streak).

I just don’t see how that is the bullet if he got shot at the top of his right ear. If that was the bullet, wouldn’t it be shown like 3-4” higher?

why shoot at 1/8000. shutter speed for a barely moving subject is crazy. minimal depth.of field also leaves no room for error. very odd settings

Also a photographer here - the most amazing fact is you were shooting 1.8 at 1/8000 already, which typically you wouldn’t shoot in direct light 🫢

Doug is amazing. Great mentor on the ground for those new to covering the president. He helped me out in my first presidential assignment to get my bearings.
