I agree with the advice above. Just want to add that depending upon how far from the fireworks you are, you may need f/8 - f/16. Usually AWB works just as well. Nobody will know exactly which colors your fireworks really had, anyway. Or shoot RAW and fix it afterwards, if you like.


A tripod is essential. When shooting, you have the camera in bulb setting, press the remote release when the rocket hurls towards the sky and release when it has spread its light over the sky.
