I've done quite a bit of fireworks photography and this is what works for me. I'm using a Sony A77v camera
with a Sony 16-250 zoom lens. I set my camera for vivid exposure and use the bulb setting. I usually set the ISO at around 400 lower if they aren't shooting them off too fast. That way I get single burst with stronger color. Pray for a little wind to blow off the smoke which is a spoiler in my book. I try to trip the shutter just after the initial burst of each one of the fireworks going off. That gives more color too. Each shot varies from three to ten seconds depending on how much content I want. Tripod is a must needless to say. Hope you have fun.
