For the ones I did this year, I used a tripod and pointed my camera in the general area of the firework explosions with a wide angle setting on my zoom (18mm). You can see the one I featured here: http://stphoto.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/view-28-4th-of-july/ What I do is put the camera to Blub shutter speed, press the shutter with I hear a launch, and close the shutter at the peak of explosion. Sometimes I leave the shutter open to get more than one. I’ve hand held at Walt Disney World with good results only beacuse they have large displays with lots and lots of light in the sky.
