Tried some long exposure shots for the Bastille day fireworks, from the hills above Liege. I'm never entirely sure how to shoot fireworks with regards to the best trade off between a long exposure time for the trails and shorter one to make sure too many fireworks don't overlap with each other. Also once they start there always seems like there is very little time to experiment.
Shot with A7 + Minolta Rokkor 135mm F2.8, should probably have used a long lens to get a closer up shot of the fireworks.
Photo taken the evening of April, 16, 2016 at 6:04 PM of a field of Muscari "Bluebells" at Lock Ridge Park, Alburtis, PA. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7rM V3 and my Zeiss 35mm f1.4 Distagon ZM lens with my Hawk's Factory Helicoid V5. ISO 100, lens set to f11 for 1/13 second. Exposure corrected by +0.12 Stops and processed with CornerFix and LR6.

Not for me. There are a gazillion shots of fireworks without context. I much prefer these.
Maybe also try layers and brush in the fireworks from your multiple shots until you find the best mix.

Exactly my constant thought when I admire street photography taken by René... last two are simply amazing
