Doug Mills, a veteran photographer for The New York Times, was only a few feet away from former President Donald J. Trump at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when the shooting started. Mr. 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.

He wasn’t shot it was staged the gunman was shooting people in the stands. The photo of the bullet going past President Trump never hit his upper ear . That bullet was too low to hit his upper ear. And if you watch the video Trump turns his head to the right the bullet would have hit him in the eye. Watch closely
Someone explain to me why this so-called photographer sitting feet away from the podium was taking photos with a shutter speed of 1/8000 th of a sec.
Was he expecting Trump to warp into the Flash super hero…
????????
So this is a NYT conspiracy?
I’m an amateur photographer, but why on a sunny, clear day do you need such a high shutter speed 1/ 8000 ?
They were moved into that position by a member of Trump’s staff. Check out the video, its odd
Why was your camera set to laboratory conditions and specifications ideal for catching a bullet in flight at 1/8000 seconds when a typical camera setting to eliminate motion blur is 1/125 seconds or at the most 1/250 seconds, and what was your flash set at because to capture a bullet even under lab conditions requires a setting of 500 nanoseconds. These are not the average settings for taking pictures at a political rally. ETA: did the Pulitzer committee ask you why you did all of this?
Was the photographer moved to that position by a member of Trump’s staff?
Because there is video of a member of Trump’s staff moving photographers to the spot to get the perfect shot
