Top 10 Android Photography Apps

I love me some little green robots. Yes I do. I also love art. And Photography is a particularly easy outlet of personal expression and creativity. Android is the most popular OS for phones even more popular than iPhone cuz most people can't afford to spend thousands every month on iPhone replacements cuz they're crappy. (why do you think you see only iPhone cases in stores XD)

Now if your an artist with an Android smart phone you probably want to take pictures. So this list is gonna help you start a great selection of post processing effects, filters and overlays so you can express yourself! Best part is they're all free!

#10

Cartoon Camera

This is a neat little camera effect that takes pictures that look like cartoons.they bold the lines and soften the colors to make these effects.some of them require you pay for the effect but there's plenty of effects to play with.

#9

Little Photo

This simple app gives you a nice range of effects one that particularly interested me was the multiple exposure effect which lets you blend two pictures together and you can get a nice ghostly image with it. Theta lots of nice things in the app but it limits the number of effects you can do at a time and the GUI is kind of poor. It basically needs improvement but other wise its pretty good.

#8

Fast Burst Camera

This app lets you take several pictures at rapid motion so you don't miss anything or if you want to edit then together to make like a stop motion effect or montage what have you. Out makes it to 8 in this list cuz it doesn't do much more than take pictures really fast

#7

HDR Camera

If your a photographer you know how easy it is to over do an hdr and how common it is that people do it. This app lets you take hdr pictures automatically and uses a pretty smart algorithm to do it. Once again the thing is though that it only serves one purpose..
#6

Otaku Camera

This is a fun app. It lets you edit or take a picture then edit it to make it look like a manga book page. Lots of fun overlays to play with and it thickens the lines and whites it so it looks like paper. The only negative is that it doesn't do that well at turning the original picture into the manga paper version.

#5

CameraMX

This app lets you do effects, overlays and even fancy borders when you take a picture or load one. Its got some effects you'll probably want like a sin city effect for reds and a cool blue skin effect. The bad thing is it has some addons that cost money that aren't even that good and are available elsewhere for free. Another issue is that it pixelates when you try to use its camera. So i would either use it and hope it comes out right in post or just edit Ann existing photo.

#4

FXCamera

This one lets you take cool pictures or edit existing ones. My favorite is the toy cam which lets you make toy looking pictures using different techniques mostly using miniature faking and high contrasts. Its instant camera has a high shutter speed, its got a fishbowl effect, and its normal + can make your photos look more professional.

#3

Pics Art

This is a great photo editor that has done great effects and uniquely it karts you put all kinds of stickers on your pictures which is great for kids. It also has some cool effects that you don't find in other apps like the paper effects which can make it look like your pictures on a brick wall or wood fence and it does it really well. Other things is it does really well at photo repair for things like blemishes and red eye.

#2

Pixlr-o-matic

My personal favorite editor for borders overlays effects and filters it definitely gives you the best range of effects.you just got to download them and they're all free. It does allot. 0_0

#1

Instagram

A must have for any artist. It of great for sharing your pictures.its basically a photographers social network like photobucket for desktops. It also has a range of effects. I had to put this as number one cuz I'm obsessed with it. I upload everything to it.

So that's you're list hope that gives you a start in Droidography XD. Now go out and take some amazing photos!
