Mashable.com has put together some tips on how to take the best fireworks pictures with your cellphone.

Right away, turn off your flash.

Also, you should lean against a wall or prop your elbow on your lawn chair to hold the shot steady.

There are also a couple apps that can help you get that perfect shot.

Slow Shutter Cam allows you to control the shutter speed on your phone's camera, so you can shoot longer exposures.

The Fast Camera app lets you take hundreds of pictures a minute. Pick your favorites, then delete the rest.
