Firework are difficult for me to process, color saturation, color balance, contrast, exposure, crop.....list is endless. Regular daytime photos are so much simpler.
Last night I did some quick processing on Nikon Studio, I like this software for quick processing of daytime shots.
This morning I wen into Adobe, more latitude for processing.
Shots were 20 to 30 second exposure at 1:16 and 1:22 aperture, ISO 64. The city was a bit underexposed for my taste but this way the fireworks did not exceed the sensor range and burn, colors showed nicely on them.
On lightroom, did the color-contrast-exposure-color balance-etc to render the sky less red, so the fireworks contrast more to the sky. Set exposure to the right on shadows, making the sky more visible but noisy. AI denoise to the rescue!
Samy, Looks like a cool mayor. I always liked the N90 and N90s camera bodies. I wore out 3 of them (2x N90, and 1x N90s) on the AP NC2000. All you needed to replace the body was a quarter, and a small jewelers screw drive to pop the back off. The AP NC 2000 was held together by a 4 inch screw with a large head. The N90 was the first camera I used that had programmable automatic aperture or shutter bracketing. Since film wasn't involved I used it all the time.
There's a doe that visits our orchard every day and eats all the dropped fruit. Karma is having a wonderful time smelling where it's been. 55mm f1.2 SC.

Jim, the mayor seems to have done a lot to help the city back from the brink. Baltimore has experienced a shift as have many other cities over the last 2-3 years towards relatively less crime.
Having come to film a lot later, its good to hear from people who lived it before digital was even around. If I remember correctly I did use the aperture priority mode and the scans I got back almost all look good for exposure.
Jim, if you want higher quality from your films, don't use the monobath It is convenient and quick, but I have seen the results of my own HC-110 development and wondered why do I get lazy and use Df96. Now the grain on expired Tri-X is understandable and I wonder if the monobath is not the best for older film.
That said, Huss will show up here and prove me wrong about Df96
