Kazakhstan's Natural Beauty Captured Well by the S23 Ultra 5G Camera
Apart from visiting Kyrgyzstan, Sadam also visited Kazakhstan where he was spoiled by the beautiful natural landscape, one of which was Kaindy Lake, a 400 meter long lake located 129 kilometers east-southeast of the city of Almaty. Here, Sadam captured many impressive views of Lake Kaindy and the surrounding hills with the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G.

“Tiap kalitraveling, saya selalu kalungin kamera supaya kalomaumotretlebih gampang. Moreover, because I am quite a perfectionist, I always prioritize the camera to take pictures while on vacation. Tapi, kali ini kualitas Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G yang sudah menandingi kamera profesional bikin saya sampai lupa untuk pakai kamera yang sudah sayakalungin. Saya sendiri kagumbangetwaktu melihat hasil foto Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G karena detail dan warna yang ditampilkan dari objek-objek di alam seperti pohon hingga pasir serupa dengan apa yang saya lihat langsung dengan mata saya sendiri,” tutur Sadam.

Appreciating the History of Civilization with Expert RAW S23 Ultra 5G
Apart from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, Saddam also visited Uzbekistan during his Central Asian adventure. Uzbekistan, yang memuat perkembangan peradaban manusia ribuan tahun lalu, dipilih Sadam karena ketertarikannya mengulik sejarah dari lokasi yang dikunjungi saattraveling. There are two historically rich locations that Saddam visited in Uzbekistan, namely Tashkent and Samarkand.

When in Tashkent, the first destination to visit is the Chorsu Market, one of the oldest markets in Uzbekistan that still functions today. In the past, Chorsu Market was one of the centers of the Silk Road, where many traders stopped by to sell spices. While at Chorsu Market, Sadam took many photos of the market atmosphere and details of the spices. Apart from visiting Tashkent, Saddam also visited Samarkand, a city built around 3.000 years ago. In its development, Samarkand was a very influential central part of past civilization in Central Asia. One of the places Saddam visited in Samarkand was Shah-i Zinda, a building complex that has stood since the 14th century. Interestingly, the tomb of Imam Bukhari, one of the most famous Islamic leaders, is also located in Samarkand.

“Tashkent maupun Samarkand merupakan lokasi yang cantik dengan banyak objek yang bisa di-captureuntuk menjadi foto yangepic. Karena setiap tempat di sini punya warnanya tersendiri, seperti Pasar Chorsu yangvibrantkarena banyak menjual rempah-rempah atau Shah-i Zinda yang memiliki warna biru yangiconic, saya jadi lebih sering pakai Expert RAW di Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G supaya lebih mudahadjustwarna,exposure, atau cahaya untuk mendapatkan detail yang khas dari tiap objek yang difoto. "Meanwhile, the 200 MP resolution can be used when you want to take sharp image details more practically," said Sadam.

Keleluasaan memotret dengan Expert RAW pun semakin lengkap dengan kemampuanzoomhingga 100x di Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G. Dengan kelebihan tersebut, Sadam bisa mengambil fotoclose updari detail bangunan tertentu dengan hasil yang tetap jernih dan tidak pecah. For Sadam, zooming in at 100x was very helpful because there are many large buildings in Uzbekistan that have interesting details in every corner. So, even though he had to shoot from a distance, Sadam could still get the desired image composition.

Sebagaimana diceritakan di atas, Sadam lebih banyakhuntingfoto dengan Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G ketimbang pakai kamera selamatravelingke Asia Tengah. Tidak hanya kagum dengan kualitas kamera dismartphonetersebut, Sadam juga merasa terbantu dengan baterai besar 5.000mAh on the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G that lasts all day on a single charge. So, he can freely take pictures and use the device all day without having to bother charging it in between his adventures.
Sadam juga suka dengandurabilitydari Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G yang benar-benar kokoh. Ia mengaku perangkat sempat beberapa kali jatuh saat sedang memotret di alam terbuka, bahkan ada momen ketikasmartphonetersebut jatuh di kisaran 1 meter ketikahiking. Even so, the condition of the Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G remains fine without any significant damage.
