Taking pictures of fireworks displays with film cameras was a tricky assignment and something greatly misunderstood by many amateurs.

One would have thought that fast film and long telephoto lenses would do the trick, when actually the opposite is true, unless the display was a long distance off. Fireworks photos come out best when you're up close and use short focal lengths, no more than 75mm equivalent, in my opinion.

Of course with digital cameras most of the guesswork is taken out of the equation; especially if your camera has a "fireworks" setting or program.
