Hey all!

Ok so it's been a super long time. I had some health shiz to deal with...but I am (hopefully) back on a steady schedule again and I will try to get caught up as soon as I can. I have a few weeks of the photo challenge to catch up on! 

A visit to MAD Designs...again!

Hi everyone!

My friend Marco from MAD Designs let me steal some of his items to play with. This is The Furniture Set Gothica, an entire set of goodies! His designs are a bit on the goth side, and I'm a bit on the girly side...so it was fun to try to use them in 'my world'.  I will list each item used at the bottom in credits...

Click the pictures to see the full size version. Do it. Dooooo it!

Week 13 Photo Challenge - "Close Call"

Week 13 Photo Challenge
Close Call


I have been at a loss for this theme, maybe because I've been sick (still/again/whatever). I thought about 'close call' as some sort of dangerous near-death thing, but never got around to thinking any further about it. So, I simplified ...and figured that making it "just in time" for the train, is a close call. Yeah? Yeah.

I found a great train station, at Goatswood, and the outfit fit in great with the edits. Woooo!

A shopping trip to MAD Designs

A friend of mine has opened an in-world shop, and I stopped by for a visit with Lily. MAD Designs, with creations from Marco offers some great Gothic themed items as well as some everyday items. I didn't get to take pics of his awesome gazebo or piano...or anything much- also, he's just added some new group gifts also, so we'll be going back soon and I will post new pics!


Here's a couple photos from our visit:

Week 12 Photo Challenge - Silhouette

Week 12 Photo Challenge

Silhouette 

A silhouette in SL is fairy easy to do, with the right lighting. I've had these done for a bit and didn't post them due to being sick. 

Week 11 - Photo Challenge - High Key

Week 11 Photo Challenge

"High Key"

Hey all. This week is more of a technique than a challenge, since SL is a bit tricky when it comes to doing something like this (without editing to death). High key is a technique used in photography where the photographer basically uses as much light as possible to remove shadows. It's best done with faces, close up and without color (in my opinion) - so, that's what I did. The photo above is simply edited to remove shadows using a simple exposure edit. The photo below is done the same, with 90% color removed and a blurred black edge. Super simple, and very lovely. 

**Do'h, it's restart day, and SL wont let me in to get the credits info....will post asap**

Week 10 Photo Challenge - Collage

Collage


Welp. A collage really isn't my idea of a challenge, but it works for what I wanted to do - show off my pretty dress. Heh. I found a lovely sim to roam at as well!
