How do you photograph fireworks? every time i try it, they end up looking like this...

Tripod. Manual focus. Moderately long exposure (enough that the tripod's necessary) to get the nice trails. Good timing.

Manual focus isn't necessary, but do make sure that it'll be in focus. For this i focused on the bridge.

I didn't do it properly though because the best way is through a BLACK CARD. Just get a piece of black card board about A4 or whatever.

Put you camera on a long exposure, enough to get the foreground and background in decent exposure.

Now wait, when the fireworks shoot up. Wait for that initial burst of LIGHT, that's what you need the black card for. Just before it explodes into colour there's a blidning white light which fucks up the exposure and becomes unsavable highlight.

Put the black card infront of the lens for this in the initial burst and take it off for the rest. Rinse and repeat.

A tripod will DEFINITELY help.

I was too busy getting drunk to take any photos. Plus the city was so crowded that bringing a massive camera was a bad idea.

I know exactly where you took that photo. My friend owns an apartment right behind that park area overlooking the harbour

especially since you're a guy posing as a girl, which seems pointless since no one drools over your photos in the first place.

First try shooting fireworks.
It came out quite decent considering that I shot this in a really small town with almost no fireworks at all.

Ultimately. Unless you have a good backdrop (I didn't) they all look kinda the same. It helps to have a good backdrop. A river setting like OP's is ideal.

If you have manual focus set it at infinite (Furthest it will go). If it's all auto then try to focus on something far in the distance then point at fireworks. Make sure you use a tripod or some kind of support and try with a timer to avoid shake. You need to set the exposure to a few seconds to get nice blooms.

The Space Needle had glitches within their fireworks display this time around. Only a few of them went off, then a long pause. Then some more went off, and then another pause. After that, the rest went off. The song they had playing along with the display finished about the time the second wave of fireworks began.
