I love taking pictures of fireworks, it's a shame that it usually only comes around once a year. My formula is to to put the focus to manual and set it to infinity (there isn't time or anything for the camera to focus on). Initially I set the exposure to manual and then the time to 1 second and the aperture to f8. After taking few shots I review what I have taken, If the firework is too bright I change the aperture f16 to saturate the colours. If the firework size is too small I increase the time, if it is too large I reduce the time. I am then free to to concentrate on when the next firework is due to explode by the trail of the rocket going up. i take hundreds of shots to get a few good ones as it free!
