One does not need to be a genius to understand that taking a good snap of fireworks is really a painstaking job. This is because one needs to be patient as well as quick enough to capture the picture perfectly. If you have done it perfectly, this is only the first part. The next part requires you to be an expert of different light adjustment moods, which can be a quite tricky part.

What you can do best is start taking snaps in all the available display modes of the iPhone so as to get accustomed with what you have got right now.

No flashlight
As it is programmed the smartphone automatically turns on its flash-light, so one must keep in mind to turn off the flash in the very first hand, otherwise it can ruin you perfect picture.
Turn off the HDR
Just like the flashlight, the HDR or high dynamic range should be kept in off mode. This may seem strange as anybody can think that it is actually a good idea for capturing fireworks’ rich color, but this is not basically the truth. While someone keeps the HRD mode on and capture pictures of fireworks, it actually trip up your shot. HDR is bad for fireworks because they’re a moving, morphing subject. So when the camera captures the multiple exposures to blend the fireworks together into one HDR, it fails to match them, and the result is disastrous. So you should always keep in mind to turn off the HDR.
Shoot more than just the sky
Well, capturing just some casual firecracking pics is not going to help you much. This is because popular photographers believe that pictures always tells some kind of story and just clicking some random pics of firework, is going to give a vague idea about the ambiance. So it’s best to try to capture pic with something else on the pic along with the firecrackers. You can capture the pic with a beautiful background such as any bridge, or high risers, so as to give a certain amount of storyline. You can even include the people’s reactions while seeing those fireworks. If you feel lost you can take the help of Google Image Search and find out the best ways how you should capture them properly.
