How to take a photo of my avatar face? Just face.

Just want to post it on my Second life thing.

Turn your camera around and look into it.  Then take the picture and save it to your hard drive.  You'll almost certainly want to crop it and resize it in GIMP or Photoshop before dropping it into your ptofile.

As always, read in the Knowledge Base, Karisa  >>> http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Camera-point-of-view-controls/ta-p/700047

and http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Camera-point-of-view-controls/ta-p/700047

Also, as I have recommended before, visit Caledon Oxbridge University in world and spend time with their tutorials.

In addition to Rolig's advice, I'll recommend getting a facial expression HUD (heads up display). During selfie photography, the avatar eyes often wander about, following your mouse. There are hidden settings to reduce or eliminate that effect, but it's easier and more flexible to get a HUD that overrides the avatar's natural reactive eye motion. I have a HUD that also allows me to select from any of SL's built in facial expressions, which can be fun for photographs. We're not supposed to recommend products here in the Answers area, but if you Google "free SL eye HUD" I think you'll find something for nothing.
