Rewind to the 1993’s, I’m in high school, sophomore year. Our teacher assigns the class an unbelievably difficult semester project: a twenty page essay on anything we want. It’s cool that we can write about anything we want, but twenty freaking pages? Are you kidding me? That’s as long as… […]

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.
