Photographing Fireworks

One of the advantages of living where we do is we have an unobstructed view of 3 professional fireworks displays from the comfort of our deck. Tonight was the first of the season and I decided to photograph some of the displays. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped. They are OK, but are not the stellar fireworks images that you occasionally see. Oh well. I have a Canon Rebel Digital Rebel XT with the 28-135 IS lense. Overall, I really like the camera, but have been disappointed time and again with the results. Even though the lense was a bit pricey, I just don't think it's worth the money.
