Happy New Years /w Fireworks

[meman]

Since we still get to enjoy the freedom of blowing off fireworks here in Florida, I  thought I'd share a slice of last nights festivities. The rain let up enough at midnight to get everything going. Feel free to use this thread to post some pics and video of your own celebrations..we'd love to see them!

Looks like you guys had fun!  The display in the background looks awesome!  Any videos?  I like the palm tree.


Happy New Year,

Here is a video of the lights. I'm just getting started, so all I had this year is a 4 channel chaser like one would use for stage lighting with a band or theater. I already got into the coop for 64 channels, so I'm on my way to a mo betta' show for Christmas 2010.

WOW!  Wish we could do that here in California (illegal). What camcorder did you use? The quality turned out really nice.

Really? where in florida are you, because up here in the panhandle you cant have anything that leaves the ground, so even bottle rockets are against the law, i didnt buy any this year but last yr i bought 3 gross of bottle rockets with report and damn near got arrested for shooting them off..

You're not supposed to have them here in Florida... but I've never seen anyone get in any real trouble.  If you got harassed, then someone had a burr up their a$$ that day.   You just use the "ridding the yard of birds" excuse (or something like that... it's on the form you sign when you buy them from any FL fireworks dealer).  But I've never seen anything like what he had sold here.  Must have gotten those out of state.

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!
