Buffalo resident tries capturing rare eclipse with Pixel phone, gets OK photos but awaits better AI tech
- A once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse passes through my hometown of Buffalo, so I grab my Pixel 8 Pro to try and capture some photos
- With Buffalo's perpetual cloudiness, I worry I won't get a good photo of the eclipse
- The Pixel 8 Pro does an okay job capturing the eclipse, but even 30x zoom can't quite compensate for the tricky lighting
- While the photos aren't perfect, they capture my memory of experiencing this rare event
- I look forward to the day when computational photography and AI can capture even better eclipse photos on mobile
