This review is going to sound a little over the top, but it represents how genuinely wonderful this…read morecompany is. They have an amazing selection of equipment, perfect for the film shoot we were on. Their rental process is smooth as butter, fast, and convenient. Sign a couple little forms, pick your gear up, and just drop it off when you're finished. Prices were some of the best I've seen from rental companies as well. All of that is fantastic, but here's the best part: I'd accidentally left one of my own microphones with them when I dropped off their gear. The next day I flew home to California. My gear is across the nation, and I'm helpless. But these guys saved me. They wrote me, initially notifying me that I'd left a piece of my gear with them, and then proceeded to send it back to my home, free of charge, no questions asked. I was blown away. That is service at the highest level. So I have one piece of advice for you: do anything you can to work with this company. They are amazing.

Unfortunately, I left disappointed and pretty upset actually. I asked one of their Reps if they repair Panasonic FZ300's and he wasn't sure, so he asked someone older who was repairing something in the back. With somewhat of an annoyed tone and unwilling to provide more info he shouted: "we don't repair Panasonic". I found it interesting that they don't repair Panasonics, yet they do sell them here. Anyway, I asked the guy if he could please provide me with a quote for my mint condition OM Systems OM1 as I'm considering selling, sounds like he didn't believe me that it was in mint condition (less than 200 pictures taken and purchased it 2 months ago, have my receipt of it as well) so he said that I would have to bring the camera. He couldn't even give me a price range. He also told me that my Point and Shoot Sony H-20 has a bigger sensor than my OM Systems OM1, which is ridiculous. I wish I could be here giving my 5 stars to a Local Business but my experience was just unpleasant and really disappointing.

Limelight Restoration provided an outstanding service in restoring two wedding photographs that had…read morebeen water damaged in a house fire. The stunning photos were stained and incurred some scratches. Roy F applied digital restoration methods to fully restore the photos; to appear as if the wedding occurred recently vice 26 years ago. The resultant digital files were mounted on an appropriate material, so that they could be reframed. We are very happy with the resultant products. This is the second time Limelight Restoration has provided stellar services to us. We highly recommend Limelight Restoration. Gregory and Mitra

My friend booked a shoot for two hours and the space or rooms they have are huge! They have a clock there so you are aware of how much time you have left and in case you forget? The staff will let you know to wrap it up. They have props you can use for your shoot and it looks like there is equipment there too but most photographers will bring their own things. There is a changing room and vanity set up for you to do your makeup which I found super convenient! There is a couch and there are chairs in the room in case you have a large party and they want to relax. This is a hidden gem for sure. Front desk staff were nice and the place is clean! There are bathrooms here too! Love this place!

Okello has a very easy going and wonderful teaching style. He has a way of explaining things that…read morejust make sense. I am completely new to learning to go manual on my DSLR. I took a Groupon class of his and then went to an in person class. His sense of humor along with his knowledge made it fun and not overwhelming to take my first photography class.

I took the DSLR Workshop I from this location. The class duration was from 6PM to 9PM but we got…read moreout little late. I thought it was very useful class for anyone who just purchased (or given) a DSLR camera and want a quick learning curve on how to use the device effectively. The class was held in a hotel conference room. The class was full, we had about 20 or so people. All with various types of DSLR with them. Some with more advanced camera and equipments, other with more older models (some even discontinued). The skill levels were all different but for this course, it's gear toward to BEGINNERS. Okello is an enthusiastic and funny dude. He'll probably read this review at some point, but I'll be truly honest about the course I just took. Pros: The class is very effective for any beginners. He'll go over everything about the DSLR and what to focus on. He'll spend great time discussing aperture, focus, ISO, and lighting. Basically four things you'll need to know inside out if you want to make great shots on your next trip to Jamaica or New York City. He'll explain difficult and complicated things easily using many analogies so that newbies like I can understand what he's talking about and apply. He's funny. Maybe he has to, otherwise the lecture-based workshop can be really boring and he would lose his audience. Everyone's level is different, so one may know more than others, thus make things little boring for those who are more advanced. But there's nothing Okello do about it. He does his best to engage his audience in practices and theology of DSLR. Cons: I wish he would focus and show us pictures that we can all take. Too many times, the sample photos shown on projector were taken with $1,600 lens, tripods, polarizers, and etc. Equipments we (beginners) can't probably afford and only dream about. We have 18-55mm very basic lens, so if he had shown photos with those lens, maybe we could have increased our hopes of taking great shots too. Also, I believe he spent little too much time talking about technicality of DSLR rather than skills/tips on how to take great photography. I wish he would spent more time on composition, background, lighting on different occasions. We were all very soaked in aperture, ISO and shutter speed. Those are important to know, but I, ultimately believe (I'm sure Okello does too) that it's about personal skills and experience that makes the picture spectacular. Not the ISO numbers. Summary: I found this course very effective to my growth and learning of photography. I'm a hobby photographer and want to be recognized by my friends not from the media. I probably won't take his advanced courses, but this one and Workshop II maybe great for anyone who's willing to take the photography skills to next level.
