Ash Falls…

Ash Falls …. this place was fun from the min I landed. It was a huge help that the lag was very low as well. The rez point is open to the public and that spot alone is very picture worthy! The ambiance of the place rocks! First thing I tried to do was high-jack a truck. The owners of this truck were smart to lock it so that folks like me couldn’t cause havoc. Ash Fall's the truck

After discovering that I wasn’t going to be driving around this sim in a shiny truck, I struck out to explore. In the distance I could hear a phone ringing… at that point I knew I had to find its significance. Wasn’t hard to locate where the ringing came from. I clicked the phone and got a pop up saying I must join to continue my journey… Ash Fall's the phone call The fee to join is 200L… BUT… you get rez rights. Anyone that takes pictures in SL on a regular basis knows how awesome it is to have rez rights to a place to take pictures…. Lets face it… backdrops are fun at times but the best pictures are taken in world with the sim as a back drop. So… I happily shelled out my 200L and took the TP.

I wasn’t disappointed in the least. This place is beautiful. Much attention has been paid to detail. I did run into a few private spots that threatened to kick me if I didn’t get my behind away from them… but the rest of the sim was free to roam! I love this place! The fact that they did such a beautiful job on it is only intensified by the fact that I experienced almost NO lag…. great job Ash Falls! Ash Fall's_003

Ironwood Hills…

Ironwood Hills  Ironwood Hills  is a post-apocalypse sim ravaged by time and nature.” This is an oldie but a goodie. I love this sim. However… its  VERY laggy. As you see I only got one picture while I was there because my computer struggled just to catch a breath. Would’ve loved to have spent more time on the sim but the lag is just over the top… Still a great place for pictures if your graphics can keep up.

Happy Shooting

Postcards from Second Life…

Like so many people in SL, I love taking pictures. SL has so many beautiful places to feed into our photography addiction. With that in mind I decided to start doing a postcard series. Maybe a few places a week. I work a lot of hours in RL so saying i’ll do it more frequently than that would be unrealistic. When visiting all these great locations the one thing that I recommend is setting your windlight settings to Estate time and get a feel for what the creator of that sim was going for! Above all… have fun!

 

First place  – Andrui 

My first thought was … Oh cool date spot! Low on lag and beautiful background for pictures! I’m glad I found this little spot. I look forward to visiting there again! I got three different shots there.

Happy Snapping,

Love

Shann!

It’s been a long long time…

So it’s been a good long while since I’ve been here.  Life just gets busy at times and you forget that you have things like this to go to.  Life has been busy.. and somewhat traumatic this past year but I’m back and loving life taking pictures again! I’ve also started making and selling some poses. I’m dabbling in the hell they call Blender as well… Lets just say… Blender and I are not friends as of yet… more to come on that at a later date … maybe. Other than that … life is good… We are still living it up in SL as the The Crow’s in our SL Home. … Feel free to stop by and see us. Happy Blogging…

Love and stuff
