A cable release is a crucial piece of gear for fireworks photography. During long exposures of 5, 10 or more seconds, you need to ensure that there is no camera movement. The best way to do that is to not touch the camera at all. A cable release allows to open, and hold open, the shutter without touching the camera!
They are relatively inexpensive! Buy yours before your next fireworks show.
