2600 Ariel Camera Capture Exposure Feet Frame Work Highest Opens Parachute Pause Pictured Point Position Propel Reached Ready Rocket Made Short

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a moment in time from the year 1912, as soldiers prepare to launch a camera-carrying rocket to an impressive height of 2600 feet. The rocket, an engineering marvel of its time, was designed to propel the camera to great heights and capture aerial images that were previously unobtainable. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen here readying the rocket on its framework. The camera, an essential component of the system, is securely attached to the rocket. Once the rocket reached its highest point, there was a short pause before the parachute opened to position the camera and allow for an exposure to be made. This photograph is an important piece of history, showcasing the early days of aerial photography. The use of rockets to capture high-altitude images was a groundbreaking innovation, and this image provides a glimpse into the technology and techniques used during that time. The rocket's launch was a significant event, and the anticipation and excitement are palpable in this image. The soldiers' focused expressions and their readiness to fire the rocket convey the importance of the mission. The image also offers a fascinating look at the equipment and the process involved in capturing aerial photographs over a century ago. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the pioneers of aerial photography. It is a reminder of the remarkable advancements that have been made in photography and technology over the past century and the continued fascination with capturing images from unique perspectives.
