Samsung Gear 360
Most of you have heard the news by now our one and only daughter got married in September and we are officially empty nesters. While planning a wedding is a lot of fun, it is also hard work as well as expensive. One of the things Liz and Austin wanted was a video of their wedding day and I wasn’t going to cough up the big bucks for a videographer. So when I had the chance to try the Gear 360 Camera I knew it would be the perfect solution.
As mother of the bride I was more than a little emotional that day so I enlisted my sister-in-laws help to video the wedding. It was the perfect way to capture the ceremony so Liz and Austin could see the reactions of everyone who attended their special day. While there was a small learning curve in using the camera it was equally as fun for the younger kids to capture their view points as well. While I’m still playing with the software and trying to learn how to put a video together nicely it’s been fun to watch all of the footage. But you can even save them as a “normal” picture as you can see Liz was having some fun playing with it one night.
