Thank you both for your comments. It´s not as hard as you think, first you need to know your camera, use other functions not only Automatic . Then for night pics most cameras have a night setup you can use as I did, but the main part of this is to use a tripod or have your camera on a solid base (as I did) so it doesn´t move while taking the pic. Both pics took 6 seconds each for the picture to be taken (if camera moves then you get blurry lights all over the place). This also applies to taking great firework pics. Give it a try next time, and don´t worry about messing up with your camera settings.
