hi. use your steadiest tripod, and a cable release. Ive done this only once and very happy with the result. do have a look at http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=149963 and keep enough film - I ran out of film that night !! choice of lenses would be nice too. do take shots of the skyline before the fireworks. I would suggest experimenting with exposures ranging from 1 to 10 seconds. Im sure you will have a nice time! bests. -Sridhar
