How would you take a good photo of a firework display?

I’m going to watch the fireworks @ legoland tonight and want to be able to get some cool photos. To get a good picture what setting on the camera would I use. I know all cameras are different but some proffesional standard photography tips would be great. Would I have the flash on or off?
Thanks

I’m here to give you your first right answer. First, use a tripod. Set your camera on manual everything. Small aperture, low ISO, set your shutter on bulb. Aim your lens towards the blasts, and set your focus manually on infinity. Press the shutter for the duration of the blasts, at least a few seconds. Around 5 seconds is good, but I’ve taken some fireworks shots near the end of one blast, waiting for another, that lasted longer than 10 seconds and came out fine.

I will link you to my fireworks shots so you can see what you can expect using this technique.

Oh yes, and flash off, definately!
