Full photo report of the meteorite explosion Chelyabinsk
We all remember the recent events that took place in Chelyabinsk - a terrible thing.enough time has passed, there was credible information and material in good quality.
kind Let's sum up the results and see how it was.
The author says: Morning. Beginning.
frosty morning was (about -17 C), windless and cloudless. And because the day before was a very warm day (the temperature was near zero) - the trees were covered with frost. I decided to go to the scene to photograph their favorite point close to home. Around 9:00 am, I was at the scene and began to make the first shots. Unusual and remarkable in the sky before the object was not. After making a few shots from different angles, I moved to a different camera angle. The camera is pointed in the direction of the rising sun (the sun appears to have remained a matter of minutes). 9:04:57 One of the first shots taken in the morning. 15 minutes before the explosion of the meteorite (view to the east)
9:14:27 - 9:15:59 View area (view angle of about 180 gr.) 10min. to the explosion of a meteorite.

The appearance of the object was a surprise! The camera was on a tripod and aimed almost at the side (pictured above), which appeared object. I leaned over to the camera to change the camera angle and make another shot the scene. At this point, peripheral vision, I saw a bright flash. At first it was small. Immediately turned the camera to the object, and at this time of the outbreak has reached its peak, and everything was bathed in bright light. ISO 50 f14 35mm 0.6s 9:20:33
9:17:11, 5 minutes before the explosion of the meteorite, view of the South West.

iso 50 f14 27mm 0.6s 9:20:43 incandescent particles of meteoric bodies, a few seconds after the explosion (flash). The picture shows that after the break, two fragments of sufficient magnitude continued their movement. Awareness. thoughts were confused and spontaneous. The first thing I thought was not a meteorite, a nuclear bomb. Then he remembered about the media reports about a possible asteroid and its approach to the Earth. Then there was the idea of an airplane that crashed.
Split the track comes after the main flash (explosion). Funnel at the end of the track resembles a small mushroom.

Feeling. quickened in the first seconds of heartbeat and breathing, as well as shaking hands, which is likely to be the consequences of the shock of what he saw. When the flash was as bright as possible, I felt strong enough heat in the face (it lasted just a split second.)

At the time of bright light, I also felt a strong pain in the eyes of intolerable glare. No more physical sensations were not. Then, 2 minutes after the flash, there was a series of explosions - the sound was neraskatisty and clear and very powerful. The first explosion was very strong, but I felt only the cotton. No physical sensations and vibrations I felt as was far from concrete structures and roads. Immediately after a series of bombings over the pine forest, near a large number of birds rose up and flew in all directions. Heartbeat, breathing, and hand tremors only strengthened. Shock was even greater. Panorama shot a few minutes after the blast. 4 horizontal frame, 24mm 9:32:15 - 9:32:31
Shooting. As mentioned earlier, immediately after seeing the first outbreak, I turned the camera towards the subject and take a single picture. He was heavily overexposed, I frantically started trying to fix the exposure to capture neperesvechenny object. I do not remember exactly how I made ​​the frame with hot particles inside track. Everything was a blur, and occurred in a matter of seconds. Next, the actions I remember vaguely. I did everything "on automatic." Shock did not allow to concentrate to put the correct values ​​and choose a great camera angles. I remember that I dropped in the snow control from the camera to change the filter on the lens. Only after a series of blasts I came a little to himself, was able to set the correct exposure, choose camera angles and shoot a few panoramas with residual cloud of meteorite. few words about how to change the nature around. Feels like the sky was bluer and transparent. The sun had already risen, but its brightness was like no more morning sun, and the sun is at its zenith.
