I like your shots!!!!
There is no right way or wrong way......just your way.....and it is fine.
There are a lot of techniques you can learn to do it differently.
I learned to set up on a tripod as close as I can get ( a couple hundered feet)
Using a wide lens 28mm or so without telephoto and start shooting at f8.0 if i have it and leave open for 2 or 4 seconds. Sometimes I use the HAT trick to open the stutter and leave it open for several minutes and cover the lense with a hat until more fireworks are shot into the air and wait for the next shot with the lens covered and flip the hat off again. This gives a lot of fireworks in one shot without having to combine several shots which is doable also.
Enjoy and take lots of them and share
I have some fireworks here if you would like to see them.

The spheres are cool.
I wish I was geeky enough to name that phenomenon, aberration, behavior... whatever.
Pretty interesting effect regardless. Thanks.
