While i was avay new years evening i turned my PTZ camera up and zoom out before i left home, captured a nice B&W simualtion of how London must have looked during the blitz in ww2.

 
Where I am now, New Years is a big holiday. I was talking to a young lady the other day and we were talking about the differences in how they observe New Years here and in the United States. At one point I told here there is a major difference between here and there: guns! You should have seen the look on her face when I told her they shoot guns off on New Years and Fourth of July celebrations. I told her the area where I lived sounded like a fire fight with all the fireworks going off interspersed with the gun fire.
 
Well honest as i am i have to admit we allso fiered our guns new years evening when i was a young fool, not fireing all the time but most emptyed a clip or 2 during the night.
I wonder how nobody got hurt or arrested as we all was high on at least 3 kinds of drugs back then. šŸ˜³
New year is allso big for me as it have been the only day of the year i drink for over 2 decades, and back in the good old days when fireworks was good here, beeing near to us was allso like beeing in a warzone.

We usioally started to burn our stuff at 10:00 and then we kept burning untill 02:00 and by then we still had several Sq M of fireworks left šŸ˜± and in that timeframe we where 4-5-6 guys burning stuff all the time and often mass burnings of large plasticbags of ground fireworks.
Its allso a wonder nobody lost a eye or some fingers, we allways had a lot of the large 600 gram powder rockets and huge firecrackers šŸ˜€
Today the largest legal rockets is 70 grams šŸ™

Havent been buying fireworks for some years now, the legal stuff is too boring and too expensive, and i no longet have any contacts to get some of the illigal stuff.

This year 3 guys was killed, and 2 wounded in 2 accidents / misuse of illigal fireworks shells, most likely 8" shells witch do carry a lot of punch šŸ˜›
 
Interesting video, makes a nice change after watching someone making a wrong turn for the thousandth times. Thanks for sharing.
 
Yeah you gotta watch out with all those dashcam videos, at this time i am allmost immune even to Russians dooing ther thing in traffic.

I regret a little i dident set the camera to color mode, and manual focus,,,,,, cursed 20/20 hindsight.

But we allso captured some footage with my friends gopro on his quadcopter.
 
yeah. anyway we have color recordings from the quadcopter, just too bad there wasent any heavy launching going on near my friends house.

Still cant wait to see the recordings, but my friend havent uploaded them yet.
 
1 of the 2 8 mintue clips we recordet on new years evening at midnight, i dont remember the launching beeing this tame, but most likely the reason is we normally provide entertainment for the whole block.

 
Love the 'engine sound track' very reminiscent of a Dornier Bomber's engines.
 
hehe yeah the 4 brushless outrunners was working hard, normally we get 10 minutes out of the batteries, but there is some waste of power in high winds.

My M8 called today, he got his eyes on a hexacopter witch can lift 6 Kg compared to the sub 1 Kg that a phantom can lift.
If he do that we can make a light frame and have a crapload of RGB led strips on it, then be just need a braniack to add programming of the lights.

And other fun.

 
hehe yeah i saw that one, there is allso a guy flying himself on a multirotor, i think he is German.


Must be like sitting in the middle of a gigant blender, you do not want to get in the way of those propellers, several ppl are killed every year getting too close to ther RC helicopters or plane propeller.
