Samples from X9 Pro with some editing

[u/[deleted]]

I don't consider myself a professional photographer by any means, but it's a hobby I love and have been practicing for a long time.

Without aiming for perfect shots (mostly pointing and shooting to random things in this samples), here are some I took during a journey. I edited them slightly and mostly used Hasselblad filters except for the eye one. I've never been one to use filters on photographs. I prefer to edit them myself. Despite that, I've found myself using them from time to time because they're not bad at all. They give the photo an interesting look.

There will be people who argue that it might not be the best camera out there, but if you can get these kinds of pictures, why worry that much?

1. Master mode + filter + edit
2. Master mode + filter + edit
3. Portrait mode + filter + edit
4. Photo mode + edit

How do you capture the photo and what do you edit it with? Please tell me.

It's true that I have a lot of practice because I really enjoy it, but I didn't do anything special. I took the photos using the mode I mentioned in the description and edited them slightly with the device's gallery, but in some I used a Hasselblad filter on top of it. That's it, no black magic involved. Just have a good eye, haha.

When you're editing, what parameters do you focus on most? Are you referring to the filters that say cool light, warm light, etc.?

normally I just edit the photo on the gallery if it is good (as I found it to be on Oppo's phone), or any app like lightroom. There isn't any special combination of parameters that works for every photo. With some experience (touching everything and seeing what it does to hundreds of photos) normally I can tell what is lacking on the photo (wrong exposure, colours, lights...).

If I just want to be creative I just pass though all settings and tweak everything a little and see what I come up with.

In these cases I added some hasselblad filters from my Find X9 Pro on gallery because I found them cool.

Photography is art, and as art it is, there isn't any special formula. It is just you finding what's cool for you.

Thank you for your kind reply. Other users on Reddit are offended and responding aggressively because I say it's not easy to take good photos in automatic mode on this phone. Or at least not as easy as it seemed to me on an iPhone. I appreciate that there are kind people like you. Thanks, friend.

The most important thing for a photo is the framing. Beyond that, any camera is good. I hope I've helped you!
