6 ways to transform your smartphone photos with the Huawei P8
6 ways to transform your smartphone photos with the Huawei P8
Smartphone photography has become boring. Everyone is applying the same, tired filters to their shots in the hope for something arty and original, but really your creativity isn’t being harnessed to its full potential.
Enter the Huawei P8, with its market leading 13MP camera, that includes the world’s first smartphone RGBW sensor, DSLR-quality ISP (image signal processor) and best in class OIS (optical image stabilisation).
This gives the P8 serious standing in the cameraphone world, with great low light performance, increased brightness, improved contrast ratios and less noise in every shot – all wrapped up in a slender package that’s thinner than the iPhone 6.
And that’s just the start, as the P8 goes even further in helping you get creative with a variety of modes that enable you to capture some truly unique photos.
1. Romantic city breaks
The bright lights of the big city are a draw for couples in love, but they have been consistently difficult to capture with your smartphone. That is until now.
Switch to Car Light Trails mode on the Huawei P8 and stand back and admire the amazing night shots of busy traffic and twinkling lights.
With the P8 pulling in extra light to make your shots pop, and the slower shutter speed providing eye-catching trails of the car lights, you’ll be grabbing memorable images that are simply not possible with other handsets.
2. A night under the stars
As festival season gets into full swing you’ll likely be spending at least a few nights camping under the stars.
Total darkness, your best friends, and nothing but the wonder of the solar system to keep you company – what could be better than that? And you can now share this amazing moment with the world.
Switch to Star Track and the P8 will pick out every star in the night’s sky to give you a shot you’ll be proud to share.
3. Hiking adventure
Nature is a beautiful thing, and you can make it even more beautiful with the P8’s Silky Water mode.
It’s great when you find a wonderful stream deep in a forest, or a babbling brook as you ascend a mountain, and you can now make them look almost magical thanks to the power of your smartphone.
Silky Water captures scenery in a completely different way, with the water merging into a dreamy blanket, allowing the natural beauty around it to stand out as it slinks its way through your picture.
4. Smart fun
You can snap great selfies with the front-facing 8MP camera on the Huawei P8, but you can make them even more special with Watermark.
Stamp your photo with details of your location, weather, mood, time, or a selection of other slogans and banners that you can fully customise to your liking.
Trust us, there’s nothing more satisfying than snapping a holiday selfie on the beach and adding your location’s temperature to the photo to really make those back home jealous.
5. The secret message
We all know the saying, a picture tells a thousand words – but now your photos can say a few more.
Light Graffiti is a truly innovative new feature on the P8, allowing you to write words or draw pictures with light.
Use a torch, a sparkler, or even fire (in a safe environment, of course) to draw/write/create a photo that will leave your friends green with envy.
The P8 can track the light source and link it together on screen, providing you with a secret message that had gone unseen by the naked eye.
6. When one photo isn’t enough
Sometimes one photo isn’t enough to capture the action happening before you – especially if it’s over an extended period of time.
Channel your photographic inspiration with Time-Lapse on the P8, which takes photos at specific intervals, and provides you with a visual storyboard of events.
You can then bring your collection to life by selecting the best shots to feature in a video, and setting them to music.
These are just some of the features available on the P8 with Super Night, All-Focus, Best Photo and Director Mode video recording making its camera one of the best equipped on the market.
It’s time to stop taking the same old pictures and unleash your photographic creativity with the Huawei P8.
