Exploring Rangeelo Rajasthan with Google Pixel 2

Rajasthan is a land of colors. From the attire to the cities, the land is a colorful palate where each color has a significant meaning. On our trip to Rajasthan with Palace on Wheels, the journey through the different cities of the state with Incredible India was vibrant and joyful. While we discovered the different shades of the cities during this trip, our Google Pixel 2 could not rest at all and captured every portrait and landscape with full enthusiasm. Exploring Rangeelo Rajasthan with Google Pixel 2 is a photo journey through the eyes of the super gadget, Pixel 2.

People of Rajasthan

The people of any state reflect the colors, language, mood, and vibrancy of that place. While we were capturing the portraits, we found them full of expressions. Happy faces, straight faces, blank faces, intense faces, quizzed faces and a lot more. Here are some of them!

Met this amazing artist at Jaisalmer and enjoyed his solo performance to the fullest. The way he played this oud and sang songs was a total respite to the heat in the city.

You may see wrinkles, I saw experience. The wrinkled faces above may seem oblivious to us capturing them, however, I loved the way all three of them were soaking in the sunshine on a winter morning.

The tech-savvy, and the happy one! The tech-savvy lady and the happy one seemed to like us clicking their pics.

Some smiles are the purest. Loved the smile of the lady above whom we met at the Chittorgarh Fort. The entire family was excited and happy about getting themselves clicked by us.

Eyes tell it all! Look at the intensity of those eyes, so deep it can actually make you understand the pain and despair one experiences in his lifetime.

Rajasthan and camels compliment each other perfectly. We were welcomed by camels at the Jaisalmer Railway Station. The rider here seems happy to see us while the camel seems to be camera shy.

Architecture in Rajasthan

Rajasthan has architecture is every bit. The royal forts and palaces along with the lakes and sand-dunes make it a photographer’s dream arena. Here we have captured some of the most beautiful architectures of this state with our Google Pixel 2.

Rajasthan

Jaipur is famous for Hawa Mahal. Located in the center of the city, this tall and artistic piece of architecture is definitely on the list for every tourist visiting the Pink City.

The City Palace in Udaipur is one beautiful place to visit. The palace has small palaces on the premises and the grandeur of this palace right from its entrance is click-worthy.

That’s the aerial view of Udaipur from the City Palace in Udaipur. The colorful houses in the city make it a picture perfect view from the top of this palace.

Lake Pichola in Udaipur can also be used to capture the city of Udaipur beautifully apart from enjoying the boat ride. The view of the city palace from Lake Pichola should not be missed.

Getting Touristy in Rajasthan

Rajasthan can always be a great canvas for candid photography. With so many beautiful locations to shoot at, it can easily capture the essence of the moment from a trip with your folks or a pre-wedding photo shoot to a full-fledged wedding destination. We could not miss getting ourselves captured too in the different cities we visited.

The corridors of City Palace in Udaipur has witnessed so many stories since it’s inception. The beauty and elegance of this corridor compel you to get yourself clicked here as it can easily turn into your next wall decor!

Can’t decide what to admire more, the turban or the door!

The architecture of Patwon ki Haveli in Jaisalmer makes you wonder about the skilled workmen of those times when there was absolute zero machinery. Each brick in this monument is a marvel of craftsmanship which stands tall even today!

Rajasthan

Loved the blue houses and the blue lanes in Jodhpur. The golden city does need these blue houses to keep it cool during summers.

Rajasthan

This isn’t just a colorful bicycle but a tea stall too! Met this man outside the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur where he sells one of the most tasteful masala tea you’ll ever have. You shouldn’t afford to miss this one on your next visit to Jaipur

Unboxing:
The Pixel 2 sits right inside the box as you open it. The just black color makes it all the more tempting as it shines inside the box. It comes in the standard box with the accessories that are worth noticing. The charger and the c-type USB cable are the same you as find them in almost all new phones. What’s worth noticing is the Type-C to Type-A Quick Switch Adapter and the type C to 3.5mm dongle which tells us that the Google Pixel lacks a 3.5mm jack. It was difficult for us to hold on and we soon jumped to powering on the device quickly.

Things to look forward to in Pixel 2:

We have been using the Pixel 2 for more than a month now and we have been quite impressed by its amazing features and superb display. Here are a few things that we enjoyed while using this amazing piece of technology:

1) The Display:
It comes with a 5 inch Full HD AMOLED display and produces really sharp display. The 440ppi density shows the color contrast perfectly and you can actually find the blacks to be black in this phone. The screen is easy to use even in broad sunlight without any reading issues.

2) The Camera:
It has the best camera we have ever used in a smartphone. Period! The 12.2MP camera with Dual-Pixel Autofocus and Dual LED Flash makes it a killer. We truly loved the portrait mode from the UI and enjoyed traveling with this to our Palace on Wheels journey. The camera can record 4K and slow-motion videos with superb speed and quality. The shutter speed of the camera is immensely quick to capture several photos in a row.

Google now provides unlimited storage for all your Pixel 2 videos and photos in your Google account till January 2021. This means you don’t need to worry if you want to capture your entire trip to 4K. Just pull out your phone and start shooting, Google will take care of the rest.

4) The Battery:

The phone comes with a 2700mAh battery which may not seem enough but it actually lasts long. What amazes us more is the charging capabilities as the phone gets completely charged from zilch in a bit over 30 mins. The phone lasts for a good 13-15 hours on 4G with extensive usage including the recording and heavy usage of social media applications.

5) Overall Look and Feel:
Google Pixel 2 is lighter than most of its competitors. With a sleek rectangular design without rounded edges, holding this device in the hand feels good. The size of the phone and the premium glass finish on the top makes it your perfect partner during travel. We also liked the speakers of this phone as they are good for watching movies or listening to music when you don’t want to carry the USB-C to 3.5mm jack.
