Polly the best way to do them imho is to get your camera on a tripod, this will provide stability which is very important. It will be trial and error from here but I suggest that you use a very slow shutter speed and try anything from 5 seconds through to 30 secs, you may well need a remote shutter release or use the timer on your camera so that you avoid any shake. I am planning to do this this year but I have also bought a few ND filters which restrict the amount of light coming in to the lens therefore I will be able to use longer exposure times.

My hope is that I will be able to capture a number of fireworks in one frame and should be impressive (if it works) my other suggestion would also be to use the widest angle shot you can so you capture as much as possible.

Hope this helps, if it raises more questions then just ask:-D
