It's that thing that comes around every so often, when you've had the millionth snow of the season, and you're ready for some sunshine and flowers. Since I the typist have them, I decided Cora will have them too. She's a bit of a shut-in lately anyway, so it would make sense.
On a completely different note - I got together with some of the other bloggers that do Gor, and asked if they'd like to do some theme projects. Just about everyone is on board, and I am really excited to see what happens with it. I feel like I've made some new friends in the process too. All of the bloggers are so sweet and nice! So please, check out their links on my blogroll.
When talking to Elle last night about the blogger challenges, she said something that stayed in my head "It's all about the pretty pictures."
I do enjoy taking pretty pictures, but lately I've been focusing more on showing off the work of the creators, than the environment and the medium of SL.
I don't like photoshopping things unless they're arty photos. I feel like it's cheating somehow, and especially since this is geared more toward fashion. I do like playing with the windlight settings.
So what do you think? More setting pics with pretty windlight? Or do you like the flat white so the outfit is shown better?

I love WL, obviously LOL, but what I have found is you still have to play with the sliders so you don't lose the outfit in the creation of the image. Lately I have seen this trend on the mainstream blogs to use these super dark "shadows" to the point you cant see what the hell they are wearing, ha! I like though varying the lighting from post to post as much as possible but damn, in world pics can be challenging at times too. For example, here I am standing around some sim minding my own business, taking photos, and BOOM I'm capped, ha. Well that's only happened once but it was kind of funny.
I think it depends on what you are doing in terms of the post also. For example, with the hair fair I did mainly white background images cause the focus of the post was to feature as much hair as possible. So single pics, with the same pose using a white background made things a lot easier.
LOL I want to hear the story about you being capped. I've been too scared to randomly show up in a sim to take pictures.
Yeah.. that's my major beef about WL too. You have to mess with sliders and in the end up get less of the artsy effect. I think I may just do both. If I really want to show off the outfit, white background... if I'm making a pretty pikshur, WINDLIGHT FTW.
Resist the call of the white background - work the sliders girl....YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
