Going on a trip for the holiday season is an immersive visual experience. People today often use images posted on social media sites like Instagram and Pinterest as inspiration for vacation destinations.
The OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G, the flagship-level phone from the OPPO Reno10 5G Series, boasts next-level imaging capabilities that allow users to shoot photos with #ThePortraitExpert standard.
Noted photographers Mark Nicdao, who is hailed for his distinctive and inventive creative flair for his photography, and Magic Liwanag, one of the country’s top go-to fashion and A-list events photographer, share tips on maximizing your OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G camera.
Capture travel memories
Ruined photos are a traveler’s nightmare, and one commonly overlooked mistake they tend to make, Magic noted, is failing to check their camera lenses for dirt before clicking the shutter.
“Sometimes we get too excited to take photos and videos that we forget our fingers do smudges to the camera lens. Good to know that the Reno10 Pro+ has a notification to remind us to clean our camera lens,” Magic.
Another valuable tip for travelers is to activate the photo grid. According to Magic, “I really think it helps to see your photos or videos captured and leveled already. Eliminating the time to crop and edit for straight horizons.”
Maximize lighting performance
When traveling, many don’t realize the importance of lighting and how it affects the quality of our vacation photos. Magic lends his trick when it comes to dealing with varying lighting: “It helps when you know how to properly expose your subject. So, don’t forget to click on your subject and check the exposure slider (the one with the sun icon right next to your selected focus point); that’s the best way to get proper photos/videos exposed. You can also turn on HDR in the camera settings to aid with getting equally exposed scenes.”
Mark shares insights on using lighting in travel photography. He says, “I long press the screen then pick where it’s going to be focused, then that’s when I adjust the brightness if it needs adjusting.”
He even shared his favorite OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G feature for this situation, “the 64MP Telephoto Portrait Camera with OIS and 112° Ultra-Wide-Angle Camera always is my go-to when I’m traveling. Since the resolution is impressive all, I have to think is how and what I want to show in this photo”
Shoot with confidence
Capturing the finest travel photos requires more than just a top-tier camera; it demands confidence and a unique perspective. While we often strive for perfection in every travel shot, remember that sometimes, you just need to seize the moment. Mark notes, “Sometimes it’s also great to give yourself an assignment just to keep your creativity being challenged and being sharpened.”
Mark adds: “If you’re not sure, commit to a perspective. I normally always shoot horizontally and make sure I shoot at 4K in videos and use High Res in photo mode. I also make sure I have enough space to crop in vertically.” Magic shares about choosing the orientation for travel photos using his OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G. “Either way, just do both. You’re on vacation, so no pressure.”
