Fireworks are tricky to photograph. Use Live Photos or Burst Mode to take multiple shots in quick succession. Later, pick the frame with the most vibrant trails. You can even turn Live Photos into fun looping videos for social media.

5. Use Macro and Ultra-Wide Lenses Creatively
Diya details, rangoli patterns, or decorative lights look magical up close. The iPhone 17’s macro lens captures intricate details, while the ultra-wide lens helps frame bigger scenes, like entire rangoli designs or group shots around the festive lights.
