How To Shoot Slow Motion Video With An iPhone 5s – As a hobbyist photographer, I’ve found that one of my most widely used tools is the camera on my iPhone. They’ve come a long way, and there is a lot you can do with one, including capturing some great slow-mo footage.

I have learned to use the word impossible with the greatest of caution. – Wernher von Braun
