5 Flickr streams that deserve more followers in 2018


The last week of the year is always good for lists. Lists with best this, funniest that, coolest whatnot etc. Though I like reading those lists I am not a fan of creating them myself. My experience with ‘fav-lists’ is that mostly they consist of stuff I already know or follow and in worst case…

White


While overhere in Holland it is still Autumn, and not the romantic colourful kind we have in Second Life but the dirty, brownish mud-like kind we have to deal with in real life..the lands in Second Life are slowly turning into snow landscapes. It won’t be long before the Christmas decorations will appear and you…

The Black Tulip Camera HUD


Yes, that is right. I am going to tell something about a product! And only because I am very excited about it and think every Second Life Photographer will want to have it! The Black Tulip Camera HUD. I have never used a camera HUD in SL before, as I just fiddle along and accepted…

Hobbiton


Being an elf in Second Life, I always have a weak spot for magical and whimsical places, so when my friend Zephira (Gidgette.Adagio) told me about her sim – her first ever – and seeing some of the wonderful images on Flickr, I knew I would love it! Hobbiton, is a great photogenic place, described…

An Uncertain Destiny


An Uncertain Destiny is the somewhat cryptic name of a lovely place. A garden with a beach and many great spots to sit and relax while you take the environment in. Owned and created by Boudicca Amat and she welcomes you to visit and be amazed. Though the sim is Adult rated, visitors are requested…

La Digue du Braek


La Digue du Braek, by Serene Footman (known from his popular sim Furillen) and Jade Koltai, is the Second Life version – or interpretation – of a real life location in Dunkerque, France. A road, 7 kilometers long, with a beach on one side and heavy industries on the other side, a wonderful landscape if…

Location in the Spotlight: Knightfall


Originally posted on SL Blogger Support:
It has been too long since I’ve posted about a blogger- and photographer friendly location, but that does not mean there are none! On the contrary, new locations still pop up and in this time of year lots of other locations are changing to the new season – making…

Binemust, a must!


It has been a bit quiet around Biné Rodenberger, the owner of one of my favourite sims Binemist (which closed a few months ago) but I knew she was busy working on a new sim. So I was thrilled when she invited me over to Binemust, her new place, which took her months to shape…

Playa Flamingo


Last night I received a notice in the SL Blogger Support group, about a new location: Playa Flamingo, owned and decorated by Marcus (marcus688.resident) who has generously opened this for all who want to take pictures and..the coming few days rezzing is allowed too (please clean up after yourselves!).

Wine, Massages and LumaLite


For a long time I have been in doubt about getting a ‘photography’ HUD, for pics I make indoors and when I miss the ability to have shadows (I am in LL Viewer and cannot derender a roof or a wall for that purpose..). I am not a fan of facelights, and tried to create…

[ Euphoria ] Low saturation dull deposit


The title of this blogpost is the name of a Windlight-setting, one I have picked to show how I edit wind-lights to my liking, after I was challenged to show off my favourite windlight. I do not have a favourite though, I tend to edit all sorts of windlights into something completely different and they…

Lost Island – Bastet’s Paradise


Often I use the Destination Guide to see what is new in SL, and today one of the highlights on my dashboard caught enough attention to TP over and have a look: The Lost Island. Now, I also saw a comment added in the DG’s entry (one can share, comment, like and all that via…

A flight with Parrot…


…and how to fly over sea, without ever leaving the ground! Today I had some fun with Parrot and the new premium gift, the Lindy Plane. Since I am really, really bad in operating any kind of vehicle in SL – planes being the worst! – I had to resort to a neat little trick…

A New Year, A New You!


Last night when I logged in to the SL Forum, I saw to my delight that LL had initiated a contest! W00T! It’s theme is: A New Year, A New You and you can participate by submitting an image that displays your avatar in a past and how you will look in 2012. Fun idea…

Fotoscope


If you like to take pictures in Second Life, but do not have your own land, studio or an inventory filled with poses and props…then you really should visit Fotoscope! It is a sim filled with all kind of poses and scenes, set-ups for group-photo’s, landscapes, danceballs and a variety of backgrounds all over the…
