The Charminar in the city of Nizams, Hyderabad, and the lively, colourful streets around it were the focus of a photography workshop organised by Samsung India to showcase the low light photography prowess of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy On Max.

Samsung India’s ‘Bring Alive The Dark’ campaign organized a photowalk for 15 select Galaxy On Max customers from Hyderabad and the photography workshop was conducted by ace photographer Venky Photriya.

Similar workshops and photowalks were conducted at Khimsar near Jodhpur and New Delhi by photographer Aman Chotani.

Samsung Galaxy On Max takes low light photography to a whole new level

“The Samsung photowalk engagement activity helped consumers experience the brilliance of the OnMax f1.7 flagship camera with subject matter experts. This is just one example of how Samsung is reaching out to create consumer delight,” said Mr. Sandeep Singh Arora, Vice President, Online Business, Samsung India.

Samsung Galaxy On Max is exclusively available on Flipkart in Black and Gold colours and is priced at INR 16,900.

The smartphone allows users to capture prized moments brilliantly with powerful 13MP front and rear cameras. With its flagship f/1.7 aperture on the rear camera, users can click brighter, sharper, mesmerizing shots even in low-light conditions.

The Galaxy On Max captures vivid details, ensuring brighter, better pictures and comes with an industry-first Social Camera Mode for people who like to ‘share on-the-go’.

The Instant Share & Edit feature enables instant sharing of pictures with a single click on pinned social media applications. Live filters and cool Indian-themed stickers enhance the overall experience of clicking and sharing images.

Khimsar is located on the eastern edge of the Thar Desert

India Newsroom team travelled to Khimsar, a tourist attraction some 90 kms from Jodhpur in Rajasthan. We were eager to test the low-light photography prowess of Samsung Galaxy On Max. The other prized possession we had – besides Galaxy On Max of course– was ace photographer Mr. Aman Chotani!

Our first stop was Khimsar Fort, built in 1523 by Rao Karamsji, the eighth son of Rao Jodha of Jodhpur. At the Khimsar Fort, Mr. Chotani held a photography workshop, where he talked about camera elements, angles as well as the importance of light in photography.

Controlling light is one of the most important aspects of photography, Mr. Chotani said. He said low-light photography can be challenging for amateurs, but a good camera can compensate for photographic skills.

“Light is the most important element when we go out. If there is no light, there can’t be an image or picture. The most important thing therefore is to control light. This phone has manual settings, exposure setting so you can create a controlled image,” Mr. Chotani said.

Our next destination was Khimsar Sand Dunes Village. There was a consensus in the group that it was one of the most beautiful places in India. An oasis in the middle of the desert, surrounded by sand dunes, has got to be breathtaking!

Khimsar Sand Dunes Village provided the perfect backdrop for low-light photography. The sun was about to set and the oasis played the perfect foil to the vast expanse of desert around. Sharing pictures through Galaxy On Max is a breeze, considering it sports the social camera mode, which allowed us share images instantly.

Once the sun set, we got to witness a spectacular and melodious cultural treat – involving Rajasthani folk songs and traditional dance. A few performers put up some hair-raising performances too.

It was soon time to call it a day. We were thankful that we were able to store our precious moments as vivid images, thanks to the great low-light performance of Galaxy On Max camera.

Galaxy On Max comes with a 13MP rear camera and an f/1.7 aperture, making it a great shooter to take low-light photographs. It is available exclusively on Flipkart at a price of Rs. 16,900.
