[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 142478, member: 12691"] You're dealing with very bright against very dark so a filter is not good unless it has anti-reflective coatings. i.e. you might get ghost firework trails as well as real ones. Your background and sky should be ok for a long shutter speed in the dark with low ISO. The ground will be lit mainly by the firework (acting as a flash) so having the shutter open for an extended period, i.e. more than the firework burst that you want to capture, wont be a problem. Your camera should have a firework mode too. Avoid wide open as it wont be the sharpest image, avoid too small an aperture because you will probably get diffraction stars. [/QUOTE]
