This shot is almost 2 years old, but it is almost that time of the year again.

Some tips for shooting fireworks:

Use a tripod.
Set ISO to low value.
Put camera in manual focus and focus at infinity
Flash off.
Set exposure to manual.
Experiment with aperture for a couple of shots to get exposure right, here I used f/13 which worked for me.
Set exposure to a couple of seconds, depending on how many fireworks you want on the shot. Here I shot in bulb mode, which enables you to decide when to stop exposing during the exposure.
Shoot a lot, you never know what will come next.

Hi Pedro, this is just a try.....
I cropped it a little, gave it some contrast and framed it.
