Before I begin, full disclosure, I am a Star Wars fan. I own a lot of memorabilia, my bed was draped in Star Wars sheets, I had the toys. As an adult, I have lightsabers – Yeah, I’m pretty geeky. But I’m not the nerd who reads all the books. […]
Here some quick movie reviews to help you start off date-night, awesome! GET OUT RATING: A+ When my friend told me they wanted to see this movie, I was reluctant. I saw the previews, and I thought, Oh man – this movie is just going to be another excuse for […]
I saw Batman vs. Superman a week after if came out and I thought it was great. SCREW THE CRITICS. It’s a long movie, about 2 and 1/2 hours long, and I made sure I didn’t drink any Diet Coke (because Diet Coke makes you pee!) As you probably […]
So what can I say or admit? I’m a bit of a geek I guess. I watched Star Wars on premier night…alone. I couldn’t wait. I was gonna wait to watch it with my friends on another day, but anticipation got the better of me. So I took my […]
MOVIE PASS: Subscription Based Theater Movie Going. A+++ I’m a fan of subscription based entertainment. I’m a subscriber to Netflix, NFL Game Rewind, Hulu, HBO, not to mention, my favorite, NFL Sunday Ticket. About a year ago, I was introduced to Movie Pass, but didn’t sign up for it’s service […]
I saw two movies this weekend: Mad Max and San Andreas. Both were good, one was better than the other. Here’s my quick review without any spoilers. Mad Max ~ good movie, entertaining movie, not much plot, lots of action, lots of non-stop action. Would I buy Mad Max? No. […]
There’s really not much to say here other than Avengers 2 was a pretty fun movie. It wasn’t as dark as I expected it to be, which I felt was a plus. Marvel Comic lines, at least when it comes to movies, tends to be lighter in feel, with bits […]
Chappie can be best described as Johnny-Five 2.0. If you have no idea who Johnny-Five is, he’s the living robot from the infamous movie called Short Circuit. On a side-note, if you have no idea who Johnny-Five is, that means I’m showing my age. There have been many movies […]
A lot of people make the mistake that because I used to be a screenwriter, and because I am very critical of storytelling, that I prefer to see serious “deep thinking” movies. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I love comedies. In fact, I love what many people […]
There’s no need to echo why this movie has made the news unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past month. Hot off the press, as of today (12/30/2015), the FBI may be considering evidence that those responsible for the Sony Hack may be disgruntled Ex-Sony employees, rather […]
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.
