Android Central Photo Contest: History

[Jaythan Rodriguez]

Taken with my Nexus 6P with some editing in Snapseed.

These are the streets of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. These pavers have adorned the streets since 1890, before the U.S.A. invasion of 1898. I've always enjoyed strolling these streets and every time I get to do so is an adventure as they are uneven and worn out. This place screams colonialism out of every pore, from the Spanish architecture to the sight of Walgreens' and Starbucks' in every corner.

This is the Palacio de Bellas Artes. It's probably the most famous museum in Mexico and holds the most important expositions in there to the public. It was built around 1934.


Took it a couple of months ago, weather didn't help that much. Had to tweak it a little with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Portable app. Taken with a Moto G 1rst Gen

This place is literally full of history. This was taken with my old Galaxy S3 back in July of 2014.

Both entries posted via AC official App, and on both the image didn't upload... #FAIL. AC staff, you should've noticed this already... Solutions?

The picture upload problem was indeed a file size and resolution limit issue. This may be why some people are having trouble with uploading an image.
Check your file size and resolution to fit the guidelines.

@Ricardo See the post I quoted above yours. Someone noted earlier in the thread that the AC app has a file size or resolution limit. I wouldn't call it a fail on the AC staff. I agree that it makes things more difficult but there are several other ways to post to this forum that would allow the higher resolution, such as the one I used - share the picture to Google Drive and post from a computer.

Are you sure it's a file size or resolution issue? If so, that means the staff would have somehow applied a filter that limited them only in this thread and only for the app (which I believe already uses its own compression). My entry wouldn't post via the app, but the same picture without any additional editing on my part uploaded fine via the desktop version of the website. It was just over 3MP from an old phone. By contrast, my 16MP pics from my current G4 upload with no problem from the app in other threads/forums from the app.

I'm not saying such filtering isn't impossible for the contests, just highly unexpected and inconsistent with the desktop website version. There's also no mention of any such limits or requirements that I've seen.

Ah, a thing of beauty.

Decided to go with history that had something to do with me and not just a picture I took. So here is the 8th Wonder of the World, the Astrodome. Have seen everything from every sport, to mechanical dinosaurs and everything in between in this place. A lot of fun history for me.

Taken with my LG G4 with a fisheye lense attached and edited with Pixlr.

This is a picture of the Pantheon from our trip to Rome this Christmas season. If you're curious, it's the left corner if you're looking at it from the front!

What a collection, every pic in above post seems amazing, the way they have captured is awesome!

This is an image of the changing of the guard at Fort McHenry National Monument taken during my trip to Baltimore last summer with my Samsung Note 3. Wish I had had my current phone at the time (V10) so the pics would have been better.

This photo was taken with a Samsung Galaxy NX Android Powered Mirrorless camera. This photo was taken in Oklahoma City, and the staircase is a piece of history from a historical building in Downtown Oklahoma City, that the architect renovating the building wanted to display instead of getting rid of it. SO he decided to make it an art piece and hang it between the buildings.
