All the pics were taken at Iso:100, Aperture:F8, on Bulb setting. Prob 3-4s exposure on each pic?

The aperture sounds about right. I end up adjusting shutter speed on the fly during the fireworks, adjusting the speed according to the type of firework going up.
I usually also time them by listening to the music. See if you can find a pattern and rhythm to when the actual firework is released and up to the very moment that it explodes.
Good luck!
