A photograph freezes a moment of life, and we always want them to be perfect. Not for the experts, this article is for all of us. The commoners holding a smartphone in their hand and try to capture the moments of life anywhere they can. We are here for the best photography apps you can have in your phone. Let’s begin.

Halide: The best photography app to capture your moments as augmented reality

This is not just an photography app, this is the experience of the physical camera through an app.

• The attention to the details is explained as just “maniacal”.
• The experience of its smart focus peaking is similar to any professional camera.
• The in-depth feature is maintained by Depth tools like Depth map view, Depth peaking and more. As a result, what comes out is not a photo, it’s “augmented reality” as explained by the Halide group themselves.
• It’s the portrait mode which contains the bokeh effect. And you get the more realistic and less twisted edges and hairlines.
• The portrait mode here supports non-human objects too.

• Any image format like HEIC, RAW or JPEG are supported here.
• The gallery of this app shows you all photos including the ones captured by other apps.
• The settings include more granular control along with focal point and exposure setup. Set any specific part of the image in focus, and just take your shot.
• Again, when you are multitasking, you just need to engage only one hand to operate this app, this is so simple.
• Moreover, the latest update of Halide is providing Shortcuts support. That is, you can snap your shot using only the Siri voice command.

Spectre: The choice of a dreamer

This is another wonderful invention of the Halide makers.

• This latest technology uses AI stabilizer to capture enhanced long exposures for 9 seconds (without other equipment or a tripod). This computational shutter allows you to take one photo over several seconds, and hand you over all the detail effects with an artistic approach. Just like a professional DSLR, or more. Look at the image below, it shows how Spectre creates a shot of an empty bridge even in the rush hour.

• You can make the light sticks dance, or create real magic with fireworks.
• Make your fantasy of the river of light out of a simple highway or paint the water to flow as your dream.
• This one costs a little like $2.99.
