its not your 400D slow, it is probably doing a long exposure noise reduction which you can disable via a custom function.
Happy New Year to All.
Just want to share my first try taking fire works photo . Photo taken from my HDB windows facing Mt Faber.
My 400D is not that cooperative, take so long to save the data for every shot, probably because I tool raw. I miss lots of beautifull fire work. Next time I shouldn't take raw.

Are you sure it took very long to save the file or because you set exposure time to 15secs (so during exposure times, you can't do anything)? It can burst several shots even if it is still saving the last ones, isn't it? If you think yours is slow, wait till you try 300D .
Not bad for first try.

Should be long exposure, that's why, try pressing a few times which recording in your camera, or you mean while transferring to computer??
Try heavier tripod.
Anyway, good take for 1st timer.
it probably as hwchoy said. It is after the 15 second exposure, I can already see from the view finder but can't press the button and the CF LED turn on.
What CF card?
If your lens is hunting, it can't release the shutter too...

CK, the camera is doing anothr 15s exposure with the shutter closed in order to compensate for the noise.

BTW it should not be a 15s exposure. for fireworks it would be tripod mounted with a remote release, and usually 1-2.5s exposure time in order to catch the shape of the fireworks. find the fastest lens you possibly can, shoot RAW and don't do noise reduction (do that in RAW processing afterwards).
also open up your aperture to catch the light. for focusing try to figure out the hyperfocal distance of your lens and manual focus so that all the distant objects will be in focus.

I like your second photo, nice composition. I feel 15sec is too way, the last I did, I randomly time the exposure. Technically, no fixed timing, depending on what you want to achieve, the longer you exposure, the more light and smoke trails
if you are shooting long exposure for example stationary night scene, for to achieve the star-ray effect using very small aperture, then you should turn on the long-exposure NR.

to use a black card you need to read your manual about bulb mode, which basically means you overwrite the metering in the camera and the shutter simply opens and shuts on your command.
