First attempt at fireworks

I'll admit, none of these are very good.  I was overall disappointed that I tried to follow the "directions" I'd read and manually set the f stop, shutter speed, but did much better at that automatic settings. Once I got the images on a computer I realized, even the auto shots are not very good.  I did not use a tripod. Oh well, I am learning!

1st shot, F/8 ISO 100, shutter speed 2 seconds.  (I had the camera in "burst" mode.)
Same settings as above, but shutter speed 1/10 of a second.  I think I had turned burst off.

 
I've now switched to full auto mode, f4.5 ISO 1600, shutter speed 1/2 sec.  I wonder if this had been focused if it might have been ok.

Still in auto mode f4.5 ISO 1600, shutter speed 1/4 sec.


F4.5, ISO 1600, shutter speed 1/6 sec.


I have a lot more pictures like this, but nothing of striking improvement.  I decided it was time to put the camera down and enjoy the fireworks with my family!
