How does your avatar look today ?

Quick slightly off topic question, but slightly relevant, too:

Where do you find these locations where you take the photos?  Or are they not locations and you set up a backdrop somewhere?

I love some of these atmospheric locations I see in these photos.  I don't have any backdrops to use.  I use the search feature and look for a region in a theme I want for the photo I want to take.  It is time consuming to hop around through the search results to find exactly what I want.  It can take me hours to take one photo while I just hope to find the right feel of the background I'm looking for.

You = general you

I'll add a photo to stay on topic.  Here is my mostly gender-neutral alt who loves the fantasy theme of the Linden Homes.  It is dark to capture the glow I love, so turn up your brightness or scroll on by.  I took this pic when the spring color glow of green was active.  If you stop by now, the regions glow in the summer colors of pink and orange.

I have used various backdrops in free studios, but I feel my best photos are taken on location.  I hear you, I often visit a spot two or three times before I can commit to a photo most of the time. Occasionally I can take a set of photos quickly, but that's rare and not due to hardware issues... more like I have an outfit or hair that I don't think matches the area I'm in.

Some of mine are on location and if you click the.pic, it takes you to my Flickr where I post the slurl.

Why don't you just take the pics anyways? You can always delete them. I would be curious to see how your hair outfit doesn't match the area. Sometimes juxtapositions can create their own unique effect on the viewer.

Never ending... you have no idea how on point that is... so appropriate for the names to come from there.

I did it!  Something completely different (and a tiny bit spicy for me.)  It only took 2 days 😄  I had to buy nearly everything since this is such a different look.  Gone are the red hair, the curls, and the freckles. I even hollowed the face a little and changed eye color.  I found tattoos and jewelry that I liked - no words, crosses, or skulls (no easy feat.)  I did find an old bus stop in my inventory that I used as a backdrop because I couldn't find a place I liked.  I won't be walking around SL like this, but I did save the outfit.  Maybe I will pull it out occasionally just for fun. Bonus: no pesky neck seam in any of the EEP settings I tried.
