Don’t Use the iPhone 6 Flash
When you try to take fireworks pictures on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, turn off the flash. The flash will ruin your photos and annoy everyone around you. Don’t be the person who is using the iPhone 6 flash to take fireworks pictures in the dark.
Do not use the flash when taking fireworks pictures on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
Open the iPhone camera app and tap on the flash so that it is inside the international no circle. The flash will not help your iPhone 6 fireworks pictures at all. It’s also a good idea to turn down the brightness of your screen while taking photos in the dark.
Test the iPhone 6 Camera Speed
The iPhone 6 takes pictures faster than the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s. If you upgraded to the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, spend a few minutes figuring out how long it takes from the press of the shutter until the photo is complete.

Once you know this you can time your shutter press to take a photo when the firework is just starting, or at the fullest, instead of catching trails of smoke.
It’s also a handy idea to use the volume down button to take a photo instead of trying to press the on-screen button.
Use the iPhone Burst Mode
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can capture a burst of photos when you hold the shutter down. As soon as you hear the firework shoot off, you can hold down the shutter and take a burst of photos back to back to back as long as you hold the shutter. The video below walks through how this works.
When you hold the shutter button on-screen or the volume down button the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can take 10 photos per second. When you are done taking photos you can see the best photos out of those and then choose to save them.
Shoot iPhone Fireworks Videos
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can take excellent video of fireworks and in some cases this will turn out better than taking a picture. You can shoot a regular video of fireworks without any need to tweak settings, but there are other cool options.
A slow motion video of Fireworks can slow the explosion to a crawl for dramatic effect and offer something that stands out.
A time-lapse video on the iPhone can condense a full fireworks show into a few minutes, sped up to about a minute or two.
Use a Tripod or iPhone 6 Camera Accessory
If you really want your iPhone 6 fireworks pictures to stand out, stop and buy a tripod that includes a way to connect the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
You can buy a Joby GripTight or similar iPhone 6 tripod or tripod mount at Walmart or Best Buy so that you have it in time for the fourth of July.
Don’t Zoom for iPhone Fireworks Pictures
It is tempting to zoom in closer to the fireworks, but this is a bad idea. Zooming in with the screen on the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is a digital zoom, which essentially means it is just blowing up the image you are seeing instead of actually taking you closer like with a camera with a zoom lens.
In dark settings this will lead to poor looking photos and a waste of your time. It is better to get closer to the fireworks by walking. Also keep an eye for nearby lights that can ruin your photos and try to find a spot where people won’t be walking in front of you.
Avoid taking fireworks selfies with the iPhone.
You should also avoid using the front facing camera to take a fireworks selfie, as it is not as good as the one on the back of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
