Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

In The Round Practice
Hey everyone. Recently some Pep Ventosa work came across my social media and it inspired me to get out and try his in the round technique again. I've tried it before without a ton of success.

Exploring a different angle.....
I posted recently about how using the Bluristic app angle mode could simulate the action used in the Pep Ventosa 'in the round' technique.

Grain silo
A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

What is a FDL technique?
'focused diffused lighting.
It enables to focus ultra soft, directional light on a small area on the car to perfectly show the design of a car. And the best thing, no nasty reflections
Beautiful job, Thomas. The Boxer is a sublime piece ot automotive sculpture, and you really do it justice in this glamorous idealised portrayal.
Thank you so much!
Terrific! Nice work!
Thank you!
Very nice indeed, I would’ve preferred if the whole back end was lit up but that’s just me.
Yes taste is always different. I shoot a big number of exposures, after editing the final image is a surprise even for me. That makes the FDL Technique so cool.
I completely agree, specially when times feel like I didn’t really get what I want and vice versa
Well, I sure as heck can find nothing wrong with this one. Gorgeous shot (and a pretty nice vehicle too)
Thanx Bob! Awesome car it is! Hope to shoot it again soon.
Very nice work! Looks almost like a painting, the way the light highlights the car’s features
Thank you Ben!
