Firstly, try to include some interesting foreground, lake, city lights, etc. Use a lens with an focal length range of 15-85. Usually F-11 to f-16 works well. Use a memory card in your camera that has a fast read speed so you can click away and then weed out the non keepers from the keepers in post processing. It is actually pretty easy to capture fireworks oohs and ahhs moments after you learn the basics.
