The best results I ever got was this ... I selected an aperture around F8-or
smaller and using a lockable cable release locked the shutter open. I then
put a piece of black card over the lens, removing the card as each firework
went off and replacing it afterwards. Obviously the camera was on a tripod
and I took extreme pains not to touch the camera during each frame. This was
with my OM1... not sure how do-able this would be with the later models.
You end up here with a nice montage of different fireworks, and they
"automatically" light the exposure more or less correctly. It's best if you
do no more than 3 separate fireworks to each frame, and keep each "burst" to
no more than about 15 seconds or so, otherwise the colours get burned out.
Try it and see....
