Tips for Successful Fireworks Photography
Use the right equipment:

Set your ISO low

Turn OFF long exposure noise reduction

Do NOT use live view

set your camera on Manual mode for exposure and set your aperture to f5.6 or f8.

Set your shutter speed to between two and ten seconds.

Focus your lens ahead of time, and then turn off AF

Use a neutral density filter to get a longer exposure if need be.

Shoot most of your shots at the start of the show

Scout your location ahead of time and get there early

Make sure you leave enough room in your frame to anticipate the height of the opened bursts.

It takes a bit of practice to time your shots

Shoot into the eastern sky not facing west,

Try some telephoto shots as well as the usual wide,

If you have a zoom lens try zooming during the exposure and see what you get!
