How to capture the perfect fireworks picture on your smartphone

This weekend will be a busy weekend full of 5th November celebrations, but how often are you able to get a good photo on your smartphone?

While most people end up taking blurry images that no one wants to Like on social media, we're going to give you some great tips on how to get the best photos from your smartphone.

1) Steady hand

The most important thing is to keep a steady hand when you're taking photos. If you have access to a tripod it will make things easier, but you could use a wall or something similar.

2) No Flash

While it's tempting to use a flash because it's dark, make sure you turn it off! The flash won't light the fireworks as they are too far away and you'll get much better results with it off.

3) No digital zoom

Definitely don't zoom, make sure you don't touch the zoom when you are taking photos at night, it will make the images really blurry in the low light.

4) Set for success

Make sure you get the settings right on your phone. Obviously these will depend on the phone you have, but generally you should turn HDR off and set the ISO low if you can.

The aperture should also be adjusted to fine tune the image.

5) Burst shoot

Just like taking a selfie the more images you can take the better, try taking multiple images on the burst mode and you're more likely to get a few images that are really good.

6) Try another angle

Perhaps try a totally different angle, for example, rather than taking photos of the fireworks directly why not take a selfie with the fireworks in the background.
