Angelina String

Outfit might have been a tiny tiny bit influenced by the fact that I've seen all episodes of "Ariana Grande: Dangerous Woman Diaries" today

Aww - it's just getting darker when it gets wet 🤭

Relaxing by the pool after a long and hard afternoon home decorating ( framing and hanging two pictures )

Doin' some home decoratin' (This is about as bada** as I get - lol )

Met this guy tonight - he was kind enough to hold the light so that we could get a decent photo

Wide leg linen pants from Coco, Applier turtleneck sweater with mesh collar from Sweet Tea, White winter coat from Aphorism! (and my dog Ice from TomatoPark). A bit disappointed with the coat though - hard to find poses where the arms are not halfway through the coat, so it is basically just useable for photos/static poses... You can see what I mean in these pics:

Posing with the girls

Have you tested the "Sade"-skin from NOT FOUND? My friend Lene demoed it, and it looked really good on her... She found it here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/3940492@N25/pool/

I personally prefer the details in the "Mycha"-skin. I do not know what the secret ingredient the Skinnery is using, but they almost always seem to have something that appeals to me... I find most other skins I have tried (on other heads than Genus thought) to be a bit more flat/smooth/filtered and lacking the extra "kick" that the Skinnery-skins seem to bring... I think the "dullness" perceived in the "Nataly"-skin comes from the lower contrast and smoother/longer transitions to the highlights. Seems like the Skinnery dares to be sharper and bolder in their details, and for me that pays off... No association what so ever to the Skinnery - but I've always ended back with one of their's after having bought and lived with most other brands for a while...

Back to the Seventies

You are literally looking bewitchingly beatiful

Three of my favourite fall/winter outfits this year 1. Salt & Pepper Trenchcoat with optional turtleneck from some event (collabor88 perhaps?) 2. !gO! Nina dress & trenchcoat (Dress comes in standalone or under-coat versions) 3. Gaall* Edelweiss complete outfit with *ARGRACE* Flat cap/MIO hair Knitted winter applier-leggings from Z.O.E worn underneath to keep reasonably warm

I had an old friend over yesterday - and she had finally taken the plunge and gone mesh/bento. I absolutely loved the way she looked, so I talked her into letting me take a few pics of her... Classic face: Baby face:

Found a new friend today... "He's soo cuuute!"

First of all - you look gorgeous, and I love hove you use the shadows! Then to the blur thing: I suspect what you are experiencing is an effect from a different resolution on your screen than in the png file. If you are looking at SL on screen at 1920x1080 and take a photo, and then saves that at let's say 3 times that resolution to a file at 5760x3240 - the SL rendering algorithms will make that image sharper... It's like if it uses a 10-pixel transition to make a line blurry, it keeps this number of transitional pixels even though the resolution of the final file would demand 30 pixels or so to look as blurry as on screen (Firestorm - I have not tested other viewers and how they render stuff...). Picture taken and saved to file at the same resolution as the screen (and it looks exactly like in the preview...): Nothing changed, except saved to file with much higher resolution (and that I moved my head a little ) - and scaled down to the same pixel size for comparison : Much less DoF blur... So being aware of this, my workaround is just to overdo DoF and blur settings until I get the result I want in a higher resolution file (or save the file in the native screen resolution)... Now we hopefully get to learn about the proper and elegant way to solve this from a tech savy Second Life 3D and photo-expert
