fireworks

I suggest you use the option where you shoot say 10 photos in 5 seconds. That way you should catch something Or just cam the whole thing which is best in my opinion. You could make screen shots or something like that on pc.

The best way I have found is to shoot with a remote shutter on a tripod, it is the best way to capture night shots without flash, fireworks, stars, just set your camera to a longer exposure time and when the firework is launched take your picture and it will catch the rest. Works every time Good luck

Fireworks are best taken with a time exposure of a second or longer. Some cameras have a specific 'fireworks' setting which allows you to keep the shutter open for several seconds. Of course, you need to put the camera on a tripod. Fireworks generally take up a very wide area of the sky. Use the widest angle you can (zoom out as far as you are able); hold the camera steady, either by using s tripod or by holding it firmly against something solid; choose the 'night' setting and turn the flash off; aim the camera at the spot where most of the fireworks seem to be exploding and, if you can't control the exposure time, press the button just before or when you see the firework explode. The more advanced the camera, the more likely you are to be able to control the exposure time.

I've never had much luck before, but the last New Years Eve I got some good shots. I think the trick is to just take pictures all the time, with digital cameras that's way easier than with film. Also, underexpose because then the background becomes black (or at least nearly black) and not muddy brown. If it's cloudy and you expose normally you'll probably get muddy brown. I've seen fireworks here once in the summer, it was a very disappointing sight. It was so light that you could only see the big, black clouds of smoke and not the bright and colourful stuff you are supposed to see.
