Goood Work!
Have a look: [link]
Here's a few tips:
Use a tripod (duh)
Use ISO 100
Use a cable release
Use bulb mode
Your aperture can vary, but I usually use f/4. Don't use any lower than that or you'll get over-exposed shots. If your shots come out too bright, use f/8 or something (adjust accordingly).
Put your camera on manual focus and focus to infinity (for a Canon, it's that little line just before the infinity symbol)
As for lenses, that depends on how far away you are....wide for super close and tele for far away. I prefer being a bit further away and zooming in. This year I was closer.
Open the shutter as they are launching the firework so you get the trail, and then close it when it's pretty much done doing it's thing. That usually lasts about 1-5 seconds.
Now the only thing left is timing and a good fireworks show! Sometimes the smoke gets so thick that it really interferes with the display and there's nothing you can do about that.
Hope this helps!
