The fireworks show was pretty good... although with the humidity in the air, the smoke hung around for a good little while... I set up an impromptu "tripod" by taking off my shoe and placing the camera in the shoe pointing towards the action... I was using about a 4 second exposure time, with a F. Stop of 2.5 or so for most shots. It was a little interesting getting the shots, I had to press the shutter button as soon as I heard the "boom" from the fireworks being launched. I ended up getting a few good shots though...
