In this post I will show some fantastic night-time photographs from James Speed Hensinger, a US army Veteran. These images depict the moment when a Viet Cong sniper attacked the Hensinger’s base near Phu Tai in April 1970. Hensinger’s pictures are just spectacular! You are back then! You can almost follow each moves, firing and explosions. Each red line represents a tracer round. JUST IMPRESSIVE!
At this time, James Speed Hensinger was just 22-year-old, paratrooper with the 173rd Airborne Brigade.




James Speed Hensinger was a 22-year-old soldier when he set his Nikon camera to take long exposures. He didn’t know what to expect when he sent the film off to be developed. What he got back is nothing short of incredible.


Unleash hell: The hillside becomes a sea of fire when the big guns on the tank begin firing, in addition to the bursts from the three machines.
