This is a picture of the current state of the football field at the high school where I teach. The stadium that has been there for nearly a hundred years was torn down at the beginning of this school year (August) and they are now rebuilding a new, better stadium. It's a pretty huge undertaking. Taken with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and left unedited. Also, if anyone knows how to maintain the original file quality while uploading to this thread, please let me know.

I was wondering the same yesterday. I was planning to look into it. I took a 9mp shot because I wanted it 16:9 wide, rather than a 13mp @ 4:3 ratio, but it looks fuzzy wuzzy when I enlarge it from the site, while it's sharper from my pc. Both files are only 2.5 mb though.

My original file was 6.02 MB, but when I posted it it got compressed to ~370kB. Talk about a loss of quality!

Wow. That was a major hit. Did you use the Android Central app, or from a pc. I will see if I can find out later if no one knows here. I entered before and they were sharper, but mine was probably too small and lost something uploading.

Sorry Andrew Martonik - carry on.

I uploaded from a PC, because I figured that would be the best way to go as far as maintaining quality.

Not sure exactly what they were building with the very large crane but this was taken in the beautiful city of Pittsburgh with my Samsung Galaxy S4.

That's what I did. Did the upload window show it was about to upload the 6mb file but showed 768kb as it was loading. I don't know honestly, but if you find out you can edit and upload a new version. Something on your pc? I copy the file from a pc folder without an image program or Windows Viewer/ If you have Tapatalk, AC Forums or Android Central app you can try from your phone. There is a Photography forum here and a Site forum, or General Help and How To.

Same here. Tried the AC app, it would not work. tried to attach it 3 times before giving up.
I had to download mine from G+ on desktop thru Chrome and it came out 307K ....

One of the Barangaroo towers in Sydney Australia. Love watching the construction going on each day on the way to work.

Taken with a Galaxy S6 edge. Minor tweaks to contrast and some sharpening in Lightroom.

Picture is taken with my Nexus 5 in 'De Efteling' (The Netherlands) with the default camera app(pano mode). It's the beginning of the construction of their newest ride 'Baron 1898'. It's a divecoaster that will be opened this summer, looking forward to take my first dive in it.
I didn't edit the picture myself, but I'm pretty sure Google enhanced it.

To build something you need some power tools... so here you can see how the tools to build is build (I made a X-Ray of a drill...)

taken with my Nexus 6 and I crop the image

This is taken with my Galaxy S6edge. Construction of the new Atlanta Falcon's stadium. The roof of the old dome it replaces is visible in the center above the highest level of construction. I just love all the cranes in view. Its a shame that only one can be entered as I was really torn between this one and one with concrete steps rising to no where.
