Отрывок из книги

Android smartphone photography continues to amaze me. Last night as I was looking up at the brilliant night sky, I was able to photograph the full moon with such magnification that I could see details in the moon’s impact craters! Of course the ability to photograph the moon close up is easily done with a larger DSLR or mirrorless camera, but for a smartphone to have advanced to such an extent that you can create decent astro-photographs is amazing.

The good news is that not only are the physical cameras on Android devices getting better each year, but the software that processes your photos within your smartphone also gets better with each software update. I encourage everyone to update their Android smartphones to take advantage of a better photography experience. No matter what kind of Android phone you have, you can create amazing images that you will be very proud of.
