Hi!
All this sounds complicated.
Actually it's not. It does require a tripod and cable release. Set on
manual operation, set aperture (for film speed), set shutter to "B," listen
for the "whoomp" sound of the mortar firing a skyrocket and open the
shutter. It will be open when the burst occurs. It's not loud, but you
don't have to be that close to hear the sound of a large skyrocket
launching if you listen for it. The sound is unique at fireworks shows.
Once you're set up and aimed (I usually use a 35mm short lens and mount the
camera on its side) all you need to do is open and close the shutter and
wind the film between frames.
