I should scan and post my x-rays from my shoulder dislocation. It’s pretty sweet. And it’s from the 4th, haha.

You use a long shutter speed. I have a wireless remote for my camera and I just set the camera to ‘bulb’ for shutter speed. That allows me to click the remote and the shutter opens when the firework starts and then click it again and the shutter closes when the firework ends.
I was ranging between 2 and 16 second shutter speeds at iso 100 and f/20-22

Canon Rebel xti and 50mm f/1.8 lens.
but if your looking for a good point and shoot, I would recommend the Canon S5 IS.
