Before the birth of smartphones, taking great pictures needs is like an investment. What I mean about investment is that you must invest in a good quality camera with high resolution. Since storing pictures in your camera or a memory card was not a thing before, you have to buy tons of film and shoot without knowing what the final product is until you have it printed in the photo pint shop.

Aren’t you glad that you are in this age of technology where everything is possible with just one click of your finger? Thanks to these smartphone companies that are competing with each other and upgrading their products every 6 months just to make an impressive built-in camera.

You can now take pictures with almost DLSR quality photos and edit them directly from your phone. There are so many editing apps available to choose from that’s free to use.
