Last week, ASUS Philippines took several members of the media along with ZenFans and its PixelMasters to Boracay in Aklan, to experience the island’s renewed beauty, through the lens of the ZenFone 5 Series.
ASUS PixelMasters – Dail Deri and Ricky Ladia
To help the participants in maximizing the capabilities of the phone, ASUS enlisted the help of eight PixelMasters – experts in various areas of photography. Prior to the activities, a workshop was conducted in which each PixelMaster gave some tips and tricks on how to capture stunning photos in every category such as portraiture and landscape.
After the workshop, the group took to the shores just in time to capture photos of the majestic sunset, and enjoy the island’s white sand beach, complimented by the relaxing sound of the waves coming to the shore.
The trip wasn’t just for taking photos, but also to contribute to the island’s continuous rehabilitation. The next morning, the group went in-land and planted mangrove trees for the benefit of the local community.
On the second day, the group was also given some time to tour the various beaches scattered in different sections of the island. Each one showcasing its own serene atmosphere and feel. Participants were able to play beach volleyball, dip in the relaxing waters, and even mingle with some of the locals.
The junket ended with a night of good food, music, and performances. Several of the participants were also awarded for having captured the best photos during the trip, selected by the PixelMasters.
