Settings from my crib sheet, it has a slightly different take, but I like to capture them exploding:
Fireworks & Lightning :
Shoot Raw
Tripod/Remote commander and torch required – take IS off lens
Use mirror lock up
Manual focus to infinity
Manual Mode use shutter speed of 0.8 to 2 seconds
Aperture f8 for lightning and distant fireworks f16 for nearer fireworks
open or close aperture slightly if too dark or over exposed
