Mobile Photography Adventures with HONOR Magic8 Pro

Let me bring you on my visual storytelling journeys with the HONOR Magic8 Pro, testing out the different capabilities, as well as the different filters on offer. Photos are straight out from the HONOR Magic8 Pro without further editing on other apps.

HONOR Night

The HONOR Night photography capability is highly talked about, observe the original photographs and after AI night upscaling is applied. This capability would be a strong feature, welcomed by users who wish to capture better quality night sceneries with their smartphone. 

Thoughts, Views and Notes on Magic8 Pro mobile photography

The HONOR Magic Color comprising Romantic Blue, Golden Autumn and Warm Sunset gives you a trio of interesting personalised photos effects. They can give you pretty nice effects on the photos that you took. 

When you look at the options from the HONOR Classic segment, you get Vibrant, Authentic and Natural effects. The Magic8 Pro colour science has its own distinct character that users need to like, adapt or select accordingly to the mobile photography situation and context. 

In the HONOR Film options, users can have a selection of different film filters to bring out the fun and nostalgia in mobile photography via the analogue photography film filters on offer, something different from the digital photography that you have been viewing a lot on social media. 

If you are into taking portraitures, I reckon you would have fun with the HONOR Portrait mode that allows you to capture gorgeous and priceless portraits of your family, loved ones and friends, easy to use, producing nice bokeh and sharp portraits. 

Do check out the other photographs shot by others using the HONOR Magic8 Pro on social media platforms, that would give you a more diverse range of photos quality to look at, if this HONOR Magic8 Pro suits your mobile photography preferences and styles.

Lest We Forget

We sometimes get updates of friends passing on social media channels, while we may not be that close to some of them. Those news still hit us, maybe it’s because of our common photography community bonds, or maybe it’s due to my mid-life stage where I am right now. 

When my very old friend, in our 35th year of friendship (since our secondary school and Scouting adventure) days (and still counting), his Dad passed on recently, our fellow batch of old friends came down to support and gather, paying our last respects, indirectly also a gathering of old friends. 

How many more years of friendships can we count? We are all busy with our respective family, life, business or work. Have we make enough time and effort to meet and catch up with our old friends, or even other family and relatives? 

Life is ?

In our life journey, this question would many a times pop into our mind and heart? What is life all about? Life is not everything colourful, nor everything else black and white. Nothing lasts forever, everything is ephemeral, be it a rainbow or a person’s life journey (whether short, medium or long).

A few recent incidents recently highlighted how some friends may view friendship and even remember things/stuff. Am I forgotten, or am I more of a transactional usage? Life is much simpler in my secondary school era without technology and gadgets taking up our life. 

A More Disunited and Fragmented World

Our world is getting more messy, a more disunited and fragmented world. Our social fabric is turning into more individualism than collective community spirit. The world political situation is getting more uncertain, and also how it would evolve in the next decade. 

Embracing the Ephemeral

Embracing the Ephemeral, everyone has to face this inevitable fact and journey in life, whether we like it or not. 

Taking this time to write my visual stories, even though the world today are not only reading less books, they are also probably reading less elsewhere too. Instead, they might be showing off more on their social media channels, or watching more short form videos/reels that doesn’t go beyond a minute. 

Nevertheless, I will still continue to write, pen down my thoughts, feelings and emotions. There are still some of my family, relatives, friends and readers still reading my visual stories.
