Edinburgh, Sighthill Flats Demolition, in slow mo: September 2011 - Multi-storey explosion

[areyamadbro]

they should have leveled the whole of sighthill while they were at it.....what a shit hole.

[1997calum]

like 911 all over again :/ *sigh*

[ILOVEPNUS]

Best I've see

[JadMock]

one of the best vids of Sighthill easily shame you couldn't get all 3 but the 2 is still spot on

[RaltsWooper]

woah o.o

[MrRobzy1990]

That's me that strolls past from right to left at 8secs into the video! :L

[Snakekilla12]

scary risky getting that smoke into the camera and lens?

[TzumB]

Bad sensor, the buildings are all blown out!

[paulgrahammorris]

Great to see it in slow motion as it all happens so fast - thanks for sharing these

[crispycritterz]

Did you leave the gas on again?

[jwdesign336]

that was pretty awesome

[gilegraam]

the sound is terrible, shouldn't have kept the same pitch.... also multistorey :D

[lgadwords]

Ya would've been cool to film that at 60fps then use twixtor to slow it down even further.

9/11 anniversary :-D

[MI6CORPORAL]

It would have been funny if someone shouted "OH SHIT! I LEFT MY CAR KEYS IN THERE!" right after the explosion occurred, least I think so

[unprofessionalvids]

they must really hate those buildings

[J4MB0uk]

boom! grahammm!!!!!!!!!

[mvakleko]

did you record this with your iPhone?

[Dombowerphoto]

@mvakleko details of how it was shot are in the blog. And some photos there to

[Georgesbyt]

I saw this, it was pretty Epic.

[IceEagel]

as perfect as WTC7

[pedrosttau]

@IceEagel you beat me to it, exactly what I was going to say. :)

[Itchhhh]

Wow looks like the same demolition teaam that brought the Twin Towers down in New York on 9/11

[thebjgj2]

@Itchhhh kill yourself

[tyty926]

@Itchhhh go die please. seriously

[lopezae33]

@Itchhhh my thoughts exactly!

[Dariovich]

I think the proper term is implosion

[EscobarFilms]

have fun with all the dust getting into your camera

[Harzburgitic]

is this the twin towers or sighthill towers because I can't tell. Both were destroyed in the same manner!

[Lunaa3]

@Harzburgitic sarcasm ftw?

[Harzburgitic]

@Lunaa3 Personally, a few small fires on the top floors would have been much more cost effective with the same results and taken much less time to plan. Did a third building come down in sighthill that day?

ftw??

[robbyhenry]

No camera staged inside for a different view?? That would have been cool.

[tknosojirou]

If I saw an ash cloud coming towards me like that, my natural instinct would be to run instead of cheer.

[gunwharf]

Wow Dom,,, Photoshop and Adobe After Effects at it's best. you will have to run a tutorial on this one.. Guess you will be spending sometime blowing the dust out of your equipment ...!!

As the other comment, would love to photograph that, can you have a word and arrange another couple of buildings..!! Soon.

[colinstu]

@gunwharf After Effects?!! You mean iMovie? lol. I hardly doubt slowing down a movie and cropping it later is out of iMovie's ability.

[EvanDR08]

would'nt a long exposure picture (with strong ND filter) of a collapsing building be great?! I'd love to have the opportunity to try that out some time!

[Anubispop2]

Wow, that is a big sexy explosion. Almost as sexy as you, Dom.

[oilswoodhome]

Fantastic,

Thank you!
