Thank you, this is Jacksonville. This shot was at f/10, ISO 320 3 seconds. My main tips are: use bulb mode with a shutter release and mid range aperture. That way the focus will be relatively uniform, a smaller aperture will prevent the bright fireworks from being blown, and with bulb mode you can time the shutter to open when the firework first goes off and leave it open until it expands fully. I started at ISO of 100 and dialed up after the first few shots when I noticed they were under exposed.

Would you mind sharing your EXIF data and any tips for novice fireworks photographers like myself. I posted mine here.
