There are other posts on Photography Bay With the Fourth of July holiday upon those of us in the United States, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share some inspirational photos to kickstart ideas for our attempts at getting great shots of fireworks shows.
Check them all out below.
Many of these images have descriptions and camera settings listed by the photographer. Click on any of the images to go the Flickr page of the image.

All images shared in compliance with Flickr users’ sharing options and the Flickr Community Guidelines. Thanks to all the great photographers for enabling embedded-sharing through Flickr!

I’m amazed how many of these are at Walt Disney World. Then again, with fireworks every night, they give ample opportunity to practice.

William:
Among Disney photographers, fireworks and night shots in general are really the crown jewel. I know that we all really enjoy the chance to shoot so many fireworks, and from so many different angles, using different lenses and settings.
But that goes into what you said, there are ample times to shoot, with shows most every night. But I think it also is because of the interesting foregrounds and shadowing you can get with the various castles, train stations, reflecting pools and other things that are available to capture in the shot, making it more than just a mere fireworks burst.

Those are really cool. I did that one year, set up the tripod and went at it.
Seems no good reason to repeat it, but maybe..
