Thanks...the video did turn out out well for a $99 Nikon CoolPix 10mp in "night landscape" mode. I think the secret is the tripod.
These "cake" type fireworks are sold all day long in many FL counties. I always get mine from Don at Pyro Junkie in Tampa. Yes, you do have to sign the waiver stating that they are for scaring birds off your crops, etc. Thank God my crops are safe again!
