Please tell me....

I finally got a tripod, not a fantastic one but still can perform its duty.

Please tell me how to take sun set, sun rise and fire works photo.

Do I need filter?

Do I need to avoid direct sun light?

and so on....

Hope you can share your technique. THANKS in advance

Really depends, and we can't sum so many years of practice in a nutshell here. Sun is nice esp if you hide it behind a tree and shoot. Filter or not it's up to you, if you want to be creative or not. Personal taste. You don't need to avoid direct sunlight, rather, where to focus and meter at. Etc etc just read the stickies!
