In pursuit of the perfect shot
with your Intel Ultrabook
There’s always a certain allure to
seeing the world through a camera lens. There’s just something about being able
to capture a fleeting occurrence as it comes and goes – an ecstatic crowd
singing along to a new band’s song on their first concert performance, the
flash of neon lights as it hits lovers embracing on the dance floor, a skate
enthusiast catching three seconds of airtime at an old abandoned skate park. A
photographer’s unique ability to freeze a moment in time, to immortalize it and
to express it in such a way that one image tells a myriad of stories is truly
amazing.
Travel photography is, in essence, captivating,
exhilarating and inspirational. Every trip is an adventure, and every
photographer is a pioneer. Travel opens up a wide scope of genres for the avid
photographer to explore, and for those who are in constant pursuit of the
perfect shot, packing for the experience is a daunting task in itself.
When a photographer is constantly on the
road, choosing which items to bring will ultimately help or hinder him in the
field. Although it would be fantastic to
take one’s entire kit abroad, experience with basic travel regulations will
tell any traveler to think twice before hitting the road. Ah, the baggage that
comes with baggage these days – peeving limitations like baggage allowance
and insurance costs, the fight for the
overhead bins and space for leg room, and not to mention, the sheer mental,
physical (and financial!) weight of lugging around six pieces of luggage and
the kitchen sink for a few days.

Less is definitely more when it comes to
packing for a trip around the globe, as convenience and practicality are
luxuries one rarely enjoys when travelling with heavy professional gear these
days. Although there may be little one can do about the weight of high-end
cameras and lenses, much can be done when it comes to choosing a light and
powerful computing device to bring with one at all times.
According to travel photographer Ben
Rayner, his Intel-powered Ultrabook plays a pivotal role in his creativity and
business process. “All you need is one
global device to make everything come together,” he says. True to form, the Ultrabook
puts sleek style, intense performance and an amazing experience in the hands of
users around the world. It is a global office in one
compact, lightweight and powerful device that offers the performance of
multiple gadgets in a 4lbs. computer one can easily store inside one’s bag.
Because of its lightweight design, superior battery life and
ability to quickly complete the task at hand, the Ultrabook becomes an extension
of one’s unique form of self-expression. With inspiration coming from every aspect
of life, artists are constantly inspired and driven
by each moment they encounter.

With every travel photographer’s desire
to capture the world through his lens also comes the need to interact and
connect with the people he meets on his journey. People always want to express
themselves and create content they can share with others whenever they can,
whether it’s posting a simple black-and-white picture online or writing a
groundbreaking photo essay on the mountains of Brazil. After all, taking the
photo is but half of the adventure. Sharing the story completes the experience.

Personally I like going places where I don't speak the language, don't
ReplyDeleteknow anybody, don't know my way around and don't have any delusions that
I'm in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in
ways I never am at home.
