I mean that with love! I promise! *smiles*
breaths in and out, taking in the sound of water and cool breezes
I have not been here in a long time. I don't know why I stopped coming. To be honest, it is so calming here.
And the best part is it only takes 2 minutes 30 seconds to get to this spot once you have teleported from your home; yes, I did time it.
A now-lost friend ( as in we no longer speak) took me here once, which has been my favorite place ever since then. I am forever grateful to her for that.
I have been a professional photographer in second life since 2013. I would say I started with using firestorm, which is the most common viewer for second life, but then I went on to a viewer called Black Dragon, and I used that viewer religiously for about 2 1/2 years
Black Dragon is the big daddy of photography within second life, but that also means that it's very hard on the graphics card, so I decided to bite the bullet and go back to the firestorm, which has made many improvements since I first stopped using it.
The big thing for me has always been camera angles. If you are familiar with firestorm and photography, you would know that firestorm lets you save one camera angle that you can come back to if you mess up, which I always do because I am a clumsy photographer. I take enormous pride in the fact that I don't edit my second life photos whatsoever; I let my computer do the work for me.
The downside of saving a camera angle in the firestorm viewer is that you lose the saved camera angle when you log out of second life, and you could never get that perfect angle back again.
Well, I think I have found the solution. Let me present to you the photography Hud from and by timeless HUD's
I have waited so long for a hud like this!!!
This Hud is so Brilliant! You have to play around with it for a bit to get the hang of it, of course, as with all new things.
This Hud Allows you to save up to 9 camera angles and keep them forever! Or change them as you need.
You don't need to feel the pressure of buying the Hud without trying it first.
The Demo is free. You will get a sense of how it works 15 minutes before it resets.
I managed to get this perfect angle for this photo, and I was able to save it, so now, with just a click of a button, I can come back to this angle over and over again.
(yes, I messed up a few times while getting to know the Hud.)
DO NOT
Throw away the Notecards!
Don't give me the eye roll! I know you do it!
Trust me, the notecards contain handy information regarding the Hud and some tips and tricks!
In the video clip above, you will see the camera going from loose camera two locked camera angle.
In the video clip below, you will see that the camera remains locked in the same position while I can move around.
I tell you right now, this Hud it's a game-changer when it comes to photography in second life.
I would never ever stand with my name behind a product if I didn't think it was the absolute best. It will not cost you an arm and a leg either it is really affordable, coming in at only 299 Linden!!
Another Truly unique feature is that you can share camera angles.
This Hud has everything you ever wanted!
If you don't believe me? Try it yourself!
I would like to thank the creator of this Hud.
Sandy Burgess For allowing me to try out this Hud and having confidence in me to blog it for her.
PLEASE go check out Timeless HUD's and if nothing else, try the Demo
