Cheap fireworks in slow-mo are oddly compelling

I'll be out of town on the Fourth of July, so the kids and I did our little fireworks celebration last night. This being Oregon, we stuck to what we could legally buy, which basically means nothing that can fly or explode. For grins, I set up my iPhone on a tripod, and shot some of the fireworks in slow-mo mode. The result was much better than I was anticipating…

That's about a minute's worth of one of the larger fireworks. You can download that one (1280x720, 96MB), or if you want, download the full seven-minute version. Be aware: If you're on a metered connection, the big version will set you back 671MB!
