You probably don't want to give up too many trade secrets.......... But how are you getting this soft light, glossy yet matte look from your pics. Do they roll off the camera like that or you achieve that during editing.

I feel like my pics are missing that "magic" step in editing. They look clean and natural but I want them to look a little shopped.. Like to our eye we can see but to everyone else, that looks like what a pic looks like on a magazine cover

He can correct me if I'm wrong but to get those gloosy and matte look editing has a lot to do with it.

@8WON6 has mastered his style forreal.

How was Lisbon bruh? Were the people welcoming?

Was amazing, I was surprised at the amount of black people there like tons. Weather is beautiful sunny, beaches are lovely. Transit is cheap, food is cheap. I was paying like 6 euros for a steak and potatoes with a drink.

Architecture is beautiful, scenery is amazing. They hav a few malls that’s open till 12am, alcohol dirt cheap. A lot of walking as it is a hilly city.

People are welcoming had no issues at all.

If you go do the African Lisbon tour best thing I did on the trip

I just ordered the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Gimbal for smartphones. I will see how I like it.

I tend to take photos like this when going to national parks and stuff. Not with a smartphone though, but wanted to show y'all a photo I took.

I hope you get more use of it than I did with the Osmo 2. I think I've used that thing like 4 times smh

It seems more portable than the 2. I frankly play with photos more so maybe I shouldn't buy it. :russ:

But I can at least try it and return it if I don't see myself using it.
