Depth of Field, New Try

After my last post about using the Depth of Field (DoF) in the Phototools in the Firestorm viewer, I got a few tips from husband Tomais and Skip Staheli, both renowned SecondLife photographers.

Skip told me to play with the settings and Tomais showed me a few of the settings he uses in Phototools and also told me to Alt+Click on the part that I wanted to be sharp. 

So I have given it a new go.

There may be some improvement in the first snapshot, but the second and third ones are much better. My conclusion is possibly that the DoF feature works best if you are closer to the subject you wish tp photograph.

The Boys of Summer 2016

From the press-release:

"The Boys of Summer is a Depraved Nation Fair centered around men's appearance, fashion, accessories and this year we will welcome furniture/decor!

This fair will have a very basic summer theme, and of course, be centered around men. Participating brands will be given a shop space to display their store content in, all content must be related to or designed for the Male Avatar. 

Here are the event details:
¤ Event will run from July 16 – 31, 2016
¤ Participation in this event will require one NEW release that will remain EXCLUSIVE to the event until the event ends.
¤ Only men's items will be allowed to be displayed at this event. That may include skins, hair, clothing, accessories, or anything that will alter or enhance the avatar's appearance or furniture / decor."

Depth of Field

So while my hubby Tomais had hustled off to work yesterday, I tried to use the "depth of field" in the photography tools of the Firestorm viewer while taking a few snapshots.

I must have done something wrong, because to me the whole picture looks blurry, not only the background. 

Hair Fair 2016

The Hair Fair 2016 starts today and goes on through July 31st. As always this long awaited (Well, since last years fair closed...) event is in benefit of Wigs for Kids.

You can read all about the event - and do some window shopping too - at the events website Hair Fair │July 16th - 31st. (The website also provides SLurls to each of the stores participating, for easy access.) There are also additional sims for cam shopping.

Judging by the website there actually seems to be a fair amount of hairs for men, not the usual 1,5-2% hidden away somewhere undetectable.

Happy hunting!
