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.

He's My SecondLife

I was modeling for my hubby Tomais today, and has become my habit I take snapshots and play with Windlight settings while he photographs us and touches them up with Photoshop.

"He's my SecondLife_2" by BMcM

These two turned out rather nicely I think.

At Trace Too

Yesterday I visited Kylie Jaxxon's sim Trace Too (SLurl) together with hubby.

Tomais has been there several times before and has posted a three beautiful photographs from there to his Flickr photostream, I'm sure there will be more. All of the photographs are - uniquely and highly imaginatively - named "Trace Too". (Yes, I have scolded him viciously. *smirk*)

I must agree with my Tomais and everyone else, Kylie Jaxxon has done a phenomenal job designing this sim. It truly is beautiful, inviting and serene, so I felt inspired to take a few snapshots, which I am sharing in this post.

All my snapshots from Trace Too are using the sims own Windlight settings.

Mate! Mine!

Well, with that title to this post, I am sure a few of my readers will soon surmise that I have been reading too many gay shifter novels recently. They wouldn't be completely wrong, but not completely right either.

Sure my Tomais has gotten me into reading loads of GayRomLit (Gay Romance Literature) by downloading books from the Kindle Store to my iPad, but it's not only been shifter romances.

No, the title of this blogpost jumped to my mind when I thought of posting this shot that I snapped while I was modelling as a werewolf for my Tomais and listening to him muttering to himself while he was going through a few of his 65,000,000 windlight settings.

"Mate! Mine!" a.k.a. "Hunger"
by snapshooter Bock McMillan 

To occupy myself during these sessions I sometimes like to take my own pendant version of the picture my photographer hubby is working with. This one turned out quite well, so I decided to post it for your enjoyment.

"Mate! Mine!", is what a shifter roars when he sniffs the smell of his fated mate - the one and only, the man the four gods and the universe created for just him. They fulfill each other's needs, wishes and wants.

My Tomais' scent is that of honey and almonds.

W T H Blogger?

I have "Showcase images with Lightbox" activated on my blog.

This option is according to the description supposed to do the following "When clicked, your images will open in an overlay on top of your blog. If your post has multiple images, they will appear as thumbnails along the bottom."

Well, today that's not happening and I don't like it one bit.

Blogger, please stop screwing around with my settings!

Our Amazing World

When I had some time over today I started playing with the sky settings. The Firestorm viewer has a shitload of presets and it is easy to change from one to the other.

I think the results are stunning! It is no wonder that many artists and filmmakers use SecondLife to enhance their art. I wondered why we don't use this neat setting more often. Then I thought that perhaps everyone else actually does and it is only I who don´t...
