none of the articles i have read state any thing about approx. shutter speed they all say slow...
aperture size i have read to have it small as possible
low ISO

get upwind. f/16.


shutter speed really only determines how long your trails are. fireworks aren't really that bright and move quick enough that they basically expose themselves.

i know i'm too late, sorry

f/10
iso-100
5 second shutter

a tripod is a must
