Interstellar is a science fiction space movie that stars Matthew Mcconaughey, that guy from the Lincoln car commercials; and Ann Hathaway, that girl who looks rather strange and doesn’t have a car commercial yet. Before Gravity 2….I mean Interstellar, was released this weekend, critics had begun singing praises, some […]
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy twice, and both times, it didn’t disappoint. The second time was much better though, because I ate five hot dogs. The entire movie is all around awesome, balancing perfectly the right amount of comedy, action, light drama, and talking trees. The movie stars Chris Pratt […]
I had the opportunity to attend an early screening of Lucy yesterday (July 23, 2014), for free, and I still feel as though I got ripped off. I didn’t have any special connections to get into the screening. I just printed out a ticket, showed up to the theater early […]
SPIDER-MAN D’OH! I’m a huge Spider-man fan. I don’t read the comics, but I love the cartoons; and I love all of the movies…well, all except this one. It really brings me to a great dismay to say this, but The Amazing Spider-man 2 is an average-to-bad movie. I was on the fence with […]
I loved the movie draft day. Many critics are blasting it, calling it boring, “un-entertaining,” and a miss for Kevin Costner. And to tell you the truth, I could see why; given that most nerds who review movies for a living are comic book loving weirdos who have no […]
Captain America 2 was a pretty darn good movie. I knew it was a good movie going in, after many of my fiends, and a few “movie review guys” who I respect, said it would be awesome. I’m going to see it again in a few days with my […]
Is Noah a great movie? I honestly don’t know. For the first fifteen minutes that I could tolerate, I can honestly say it was boring and not worth my $11.50. I dozed in and out for the first fifteen minutes, and then I finally got up, left my friends, walked […]
I enjoyed Anchorman 2, but not everyone will. If you enjoy parodies such as Spaceballs, and comedic movies like Naked Gun and Austin Powers, you probably will enjoy Anchorman 2. This movie is filled with jokes, crude offensive humor, and the off-the-wall stupidity that make you laugh because it is […]
Ender’s Game is a movie adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s wildly famous book, Ender’s Game. I never read the book, not sure I will. I saw Ender’s Game in the Titax XC Movie theater and the damn thing cost me $15 big ones. Was it worth it? No. […]
I’m still on the fence for Riddick. On one hand, it was a fun movie to watch. On the other hand, do I think it was worth it to spend a whopping ten dollars on? No. I hate to say this, but unless you are a huge Vin Diesel […]
Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
CELLPHONE MAGIC ~
We are now at the point in our lives where cellphones can produce professional-quality snapshots. This shot was taken on the Samsung 24 Ultra on Pro-Mode. Pro-Mode allows me to manipulate camera settings manually, unlike the default auto mode.
Post-production on this photo was pretty much close to nothing.
On my professional camera, this same shot would require a flash, and some heavy post-production corrections.
Why is this happening? Well, smartphones can't drastically get much smarter - except for their photo/video capabilities. And right now, our smartphones have become incredible cameras. They are great at shooting everything - except Bigfoot. Apparently, even with the best tech, if you shoot Bigfoot, that photo will still turn out blurry as heck.
So, what does this mean for you?
Well, first of all, if you're thinking of buying a professional camera specifically for your vacation, don't. Instead - upgrade your phone.
If you book professional shots from me, do not be surprised if I breakout my Samsung Ultra 24. It's definitely a weapon of choice when it comes to getting great photos for you.
Just to let you know, I'm now doing business as Dream Weddings by Steve :)
There are too many companies out there that are stealing my name, having a version of it. Now there will be no confusion.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
