Taken at 1920X1080X32 w/ Sony HDR-SR11.
Used "Fireworks" setting.
Rendered at 1280X720 for Vimeo.

This turned out quite well actually. I had an uncomfortable feeling that the street lamps would fade out the colors of the show. I am very pleased with a great result. My wife and children can be heard on the left audio channel, while other spectators on the right.

That's pretty nice for no tripod and a street light!

You have inspired me to start doing some close up shots! Expect some more of that lizard. We are gonna see the blood cells in his eyeballs in a week or two! :)

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for your comments guys. Actually, when doing upclose work on fireworks even when fully zoomed in, you can get away with a LOT. They are moving so fast it almost helps you automatically find the best explosions without being restricted. I fear that this may be the ONLY media target you can do this with effectively though.
