Contrast

CONTRAST

Having a dark skin in SL allows me to contrast my avatar with lighter avatars, clothing, and objects. This shot features me with Jojamela Soon on a sky platform in Sailors Cove. She’s having a bad time with her house project and her light skinned avatar seems to mirror her RL frustration:
Joja is not happy

White clothing can also show a sharp contrast:

Christmas Dress 2

Similarly dark clothing on a light skinned avatar can show a marked contrast:
Rav and Iza

Ravishal and Izabella Bentham.

Straylight, keeps getting better!

Like Svarga, I haven’t been to one of the most compelling visual treats that Straylight is for a long time. Straylight too has adapted well to the WindLight rendering process. Straylight has grown a lot! The last time I was there only the middle island and one corner was landscaped and developed. The whole sim is now complete and features several unique environments.

Upon arrival it looked like a tropical forest:

(I used the “Incongruent Truth” preset)

Svarga under WindLight

It his been quite a while since I’ve been to Svarga, at least not before the advent of WindLight. Many people worried that all the specially designed textures would not hold up well to the harsh light WindLight provides. I can safely say that the sim of Svarga looks fine in the default setting and in some ways looks better.

I was immediately impressed at my arrival:

Washout

Washout, originally uploaded by GoSpeed_Racer.

This is the image that began to get me thinking about creating my own blog dedicated to SL imagery. I used Picasa to washout out the colors to produce this effect.

Introduction

sl-imagery-headshot.jpg

Hello there! I’ve decided to branch out from Ravishal’s blog and start a blog of my own. As I am interested in photography in SL this blog will focus on those aspects of my SL experience. I intend not only to show my cute little face here, but the images of other avatars, places, and things. I may even ask people to be contibutors so they can post here too. I can only see so much!
