atomcentral | Photography in the USAF-Optical Instrumentation at Vandenberg AFB (2K, better color) @atomcentral | Uploaded July 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
Great film with missile explosions. Testing Atlas missiles at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Southern California during the Cold War. I had previously uploaded a copy of this film from a beat up 16-mm faded color print. I was able to locate a 16-mm Internegative from a 35-mm original. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate the original 35-mm cut negative. Color is much better and I cleaned up quite a few shots. This was scanned at 4K resolution and sampled down to 2K. Unfortunately not very sharp. The color print I originally had transferred was loaned to me by Pat Bradley, of Lookout Mountain and I think he is in the film looking over the lightbox.
