This is a link only to U Tube as not 100% complete on editing but work I carried out as a donation to the town !
It was a nightmare due to thousands of people and only a protected area available people free
I paced out my legal distances in collabaration with the Firework company ! The show was only 7 minutes and then kids were seen in the woods behind who had to be cleared by security ! This meant they may have to cancel but put me out of kilter with them as they suddenly announced go
The fireworks were going off as my drone took to the black sky
No orbit space so I took film over the forest then came in for the finale shots to make it more exciting which it was for me big chunks falling close to the drone
Any way it needs some more editing but would like an impression ?

As it u tube do pit it up to max and bright

It would be nicer if the surroundings had been a bit lighter.
And I would definitely have taken a bit more distance for a clearer view.
But either way, filming fireworks remains a difficult thing.

Yes its a small town with only the main street lit up and a very black night !
People came from everywhere hence packed out

What video settings were you using? I liked the exposure setting alot.

I was recommended settings in forum so did a test night before with only car headlights not fireworks ! Auto did not deal with it well so I tried the recommended settings which were much better
Iso 1600 Shutter 1/25 to 1/50 and frame rate 25 FPs everything else kept in auto

I was flying in the Firework protected box to keep legal distances in collaboration with the Firework operators hence I was quite close in to the explosions so a bigger light intensity variation but think those settings kindly given to me worked well in what is a compromise
