Hooded Lace
Merging Windlights


I'm sure you've noticed the ton of new windlights in Phoenix Firestorm's latest update, including many for the phototools plugin that has been integrated into the same release. Some of the windlights are very dramatic. One of my favorite photo techniques are layering windlights in photoshop (or whatever image editing software that you might use.) 

The trick? Take one high res snapshot with a well lit, clearly defined picture. Take another with a very dramatic windlight effect. From there I will paste the dramatic windlight snapshot over the other and let my imagination take over. Do I overlay one image over the other? Do I erase parts of one image and let parts of the second shine through? I think you get the picture. Litterally. 

Windlights used: Phototools' Black and White #11 and Strawberry Singh's 'Original'.

Prelude to a Kiss


So I've been working on my pose store Picture This! Poses. It's been a fun little outlet of creativity to me. Mostly, because it makes me push my photo editing skills a bit further. Ultimately, I make poses because I enjoy making pictures so darn much. This is my latest pose for couples, it's called Prelude to a Kiss. I tried new things with this photo, such as windlights and masking. I think it turned out pretty nice. I used Strawberry Singh's "Diamond" Windlight, which you can download from her blog.

Stay tuned on SL Blogger Support. I'm going to do a tutorial on the high lights.

Surreal

 Okay, a SL photographer/blogger could go on about windlights, but I want to talk about the weird ones. Orc Drawing? Uh, okay. Surreal. Why? I was going to blog about this gorgeous dress from Fameshed. There's a group gift for men and women available to Fameshed group - the ladies being a super sexy maxi from Valentina E. Couture.

 I'm taking my picture, I'm flipping through windlights, and suddenly I land on the Surreals. Now I know why they exist. I love this picture!


There is no post editing done to this picture save for cropping. I look like I'm inked in a comic book.

Tip: Fast way to flip through windlights? If you're running Phoenix Firestorm, there is a 'Quick Preferences' button on the bottom of the screen with the Phoenix Firestorm logo. You can easily go through your windlights on this menu.
