Last thursday fireworks for the fair where fired off again. As I said in my previous comment I use smaller apertures than Tom.

My settings here:

Setup: Tripod, wireless trigger
Apeture: F18
Speed: ISO 200 (my D70 doesn't go any lower)
Focal Length: 22mm
Exposure: 14.0 seconds

As always with this particular fireworks display, it's fired from a pontoon offshore for safety reasons. Now I actually like this because it gives the added bonus of reflections on the water and people in the foreground. I found this makes my shots much more interesting. So my tip would be to try and get some environment in the shot be it buildings or people. This really shows of the scale of the fireworks.
