iPhones pass the fireworks test: best of the reader-submitted 4th photos

Filed under: Multimedia , Odds and ends , Flickr Find , iPhone , MobileMe Shooting photographs of fireworks can be a real challenge. The good shots happen quickly, cameras don’t always get the focus right, and there is a lot of movement that can make for blurry pictures. The iPhone is not the best camera in the world for demanding photo jobs — that’s true for all cell phone cams, with the possible exception of digital cameras that happen to include phones as a bonus feature . Nevertheless, we asked our readers around the U.S. to send us their fireworks images, and that they did. Actually, the iPhone acquitted itself pretty well, both with still images and in movies done with the new 3G (plus one movie done with a jailbroken 2G and Cycorder ). Look below for a gallery of some of my favorite stills. Many were sent anonymously, so we can’t always credit the photographer. Some were uploaded directly from their phones to MobileMe and YouTube . Thanks to all who participated and made our 4th of July sparking and colorful.
