CAMERA AND NOTEBOOK BAG - LOWEPRO COMPUTREKKER AW PLUS

So you've bought the Camera your lenses and your tripod and there is this really exotic place you found you don't know what sort of equipment to carry you might find an awesome sunset …. Or you might wanna get a macro of this really rare species of insect … but then again you wouldn't want to miss on all the different birds in the region … some trekking might be necessary. Then you look at your stuff … and the obvious question is what next? How do you carry everything with you?



Amongst the other variety of bags available from Lowepro, I wanted to review the one I have the CompuTrekker AW Plus, its pretty good for travelling. Have a look at the video

Pros	Cons
Spacious	Shoulders hurt when its full with the laptop
Shock absorbing foam and padding for shoulders	Doesn't have quick access pockets
Extra pouches	Back gets hot and sweaty – No ventilation
Provision for tripod	Tripod pocket is a bit irritating should have been better
Well built, pretty strong can withstand a decent level of abuse.
Fully Customizable interior
Water resistant zippers
Laptop fits in very firmly
Weather Protection

Additional Features

• It comes with an All weather cover for some added protection against the rain or dust
  
• Slip Locks provide you with the ability to add or subtract components with your equipment. In case you want to buy additional accessories you can latch them on
  
• This bag can be taken as a hand carry while traveling. Although beware that this bag can seriously weigh a lot when you have all the photography equipment coupled with a laptop
  

The technical specifications as mentioned on their website are as follows:

http://www.twitter.com/asad_anwar :)

Life can be soo busy ! :( these days i'm involved in a telecom project and i'm the only one implementing an automated reporting solution for my company. I am unable to update stuff here, just wanted to say i'll update everything soon ... oh and there might be two major additions to my photography gadgets ;)

In other news: I watched transformers 2 today ... loved the effects ... been in luv with those robots since childhood ... some wallpapers from the official website ... i still think the 80's cartoon movie was better even the dialogues even the story line ... and i really wished they would put Hot rod (the red car from the cartoons) in the movie ... he was one of my favs along with Optimus Prime of course.

thats all for now see yaz

Just another walk on the road

HaylOo again =) I couldn't feature stuff this time ... got really busy .. probably I can try and do a double feature or something ... For now i'm gonna share this lovely shot from Sharq - Kuwait. I was walking home after capturing some really good sunset shots.. I saw this amazing view and just wanted to capture it. I luved how the moon was smiling back at me with just one teeny tiny star twinkling in the sky. The black cloud on the corner just added more to the dreamy mood of the shot. I stayed there till the sky was pitch dark and then i came back ... what a day =)

Cooliris - An amazing Photo/Video browser

Today while searching for something i found this really cool plugin known as Cooliris.

"the fastest and most stunning way to browse photos and videos" - Cooliris team

If you are looking a browser for such a purpose then look no more. From the first impressions I personally love it and i feel its an awesome way to showcase your work when you quickly want to show people. Its very fast pictures take up very less time to display I have 10.0-12.0+ MegaPixel pictures and they do not cause much delay. Although you cannot view your RAW files, I hope that feature comes soon.

For download visit Cooliris dot com

Take a look at some of the screen shots I took while playing with this uber cool plugin. This displays everything in a 3D user friendly environment. I recommend trying it.
