I want to figure out how to include the people watching the fireworks now so will try something else next time.

Ultrawide, with them just far enough away to be in focus, and maybe a small flashlight to paint them so they show up as more than black shapes on a black background but don't distract from the fireworks like they would if they were well-lit. That's what I was going to try, anyway.

This is what I was able to get from my K-x 55-300 lens during july 4th fireworks. One image out of camera.. multi exposure shot (4 exposures). Each tree is one shot. K-x still takes some good pictures for me.

These are 10-15 sec exposures with ISO 200 and camera resting on a small bridge rail. With kid in my 2nd hand
