The best technique I have found to photograph fireworks is to let in as little light as possible through the lens, in other words to close the aperture up tight. This photo is a 20-second time exposure, using an aperture of f/22. The long exposure time allows the lights of the skyline to show up, while the aperture setting keeps the brief, brilliant fireworks from being too bright, and blowing everything else away.
