kirstens viewer - landscape shoot

Imagine Romance Sim.. Wishing well.. Photoshoot location.


So, I have been having a bit of trouble logging into SL, I am using Kirsten's viewer and the landscape rezzes up at top speed and looks terrific, however Suede is not so lucky she is a permanent cloud avi. I tested this out with a rl friend who is also on SL, her avi loads up just great. so it has to be a glitch with Suede herself.. but for the life of me I cannot work out what the problem is.

So.. I took some landscape shots instead.

This lovely Fairy wishing well and forest is next to a bridal shop on the Imagine Romance sim. I didn't see any pose balls.. but I am sure you could take some great photos here if you have a hud you can use instead.

This shot is on the default setting.. still not bad.. but I did turn my graphics right up.


This shot was taken using KL Purple.. so the sky in the background has a nice purple sheen to it and also the colour highlights certain flowers in foreground of the shot.


This shot believe it or not I used the night setting and turn the gamma slider up to 2.10, I really liked the effect of the blue sky and the darker foreground.


Well, I also have a ton of great fashion to post but until I can fix my cloud issue, I cannot do it, if anyone has an idea of how to fix it. I would be grateful.

P.S.
  • Tried rebake textures
  • Tried Character test
  • Tried renewing everything including skin and shape
  • Cleared my cache manually
  • Tried threatening, sulking and using foul language

Photographic Props

What Next Vintage Dressing Screen and Stool


Rather than a fashion post this is a post about a really great photography prop.

The * what next* Vintage Dressing Screen and Stool pose set is truly excellent, both pieces have about 10 poses in each and even though the stool and the screen come as a pair they are not linked, so you can move them around to get the shot you like. Both stool and screen are scripted colour change, which I didn't realise when I bought them.


Some of the poses on the stool, will work for a man, so the options are really large and I know the clothing is not very clear on these photos as I used the *camp champ* windlight setting on them, but the corset is actually cream coloured.


Style Card ( for what it is worth)
Hair Lelutka group gift, Rush Firetop, scripted colour change band, available now
Shoes Kookie Phoebe Brown
Jewelry Zaara
Corset & Stockings, Runo runo 5 minutes to curtain,
(I bought this at a special event a couple of months back).

Geometric Black & White


I picked up this dress up several weeks ago at the Dressing Room, which I am sure many of you did as well, so I didn't want to be boring and just do a blog on a dress everyone has seen already, which I teamed up with silver Prestige Boots and hair from Exile. So I clicked on my trusty Photoshop icon and here is what I came up with, and at the bottom of the post I will give you the settings I used.



I was considering that the bright white spot was too bright, but when I darkened it down, I found the quality of the image was reduced, and so I decided to leave it.


Photoshop Settings

Under Distort, Diffuse Glow
Grain 7
Glow 12
Clear 17

Under Filter, Render
Lighting effects, just adjust until you have the effect you like

Oh and P.S. I did notice I have a typo on the first picture, but I have flu and I am too lazy to go back and fix it.. I can spell Geometric, I just cannot type it... :P
