    I'm not really sure what it is, but there is something very appealing about you not blending into the background environment. ♥

    Thanks ❤️ I always take the noise filter off on myself… just out of habit.

    LOVE the colours in this!

    I did too; that’s why I had to take a pic.  The sky settings in this sim are lovely! ❤️

    You and the outfit are both adorable!  I was especially captured by the light and shadow you used.  Were you using a light system or is that something you added after the fact?  (It is the topic we are studying this week in the Photo Salon.)

    Thank you! ♥

    I use the Black Dragon viewer whenever I am taking pictures as I find the lighting is best captured there.  Typically, after I take my pictures I blow out one side of them intentionally with an oversized brush where the lighting source would be.  Depending on how much time or patience I have I will also often added a hazy "halo" along the side that should be getting the direct hit of the light source.  It's not for any particular reason other than that it's something I personally respond to.  I like to shoot on a plain 50/50 gray backdrop out of habit so I just find it sometimes adds an element of interest to the images.

    My other typical edits are to adjust the levels slighting depending on my mood to enhance the contrast and then I typically throw in some vibrance as well.

    I didn't in the instance of the picture above, but I almost always also add noise/grain for everything that isn't the direct subject/focus.

    I am attaching a snip of raw/unedited image from Black Dragon below if that's helpful:

  3. I have to blame the fact that I sat on a 2-hour long conference call today as the reason why I completely over-edited this photo... It is somewhat cathartic though, I must say...

    I am constantly fighting the urge to take every picture on a white background/backdrop in my skybox. 😄  So predictable.  This is a good compromise, I guess?

    Also, where are your shoes from @Sofia Gray?

    I am trying to find where he has them out though... I don't see them in the store.  If I find a LM I will drop it on you!

    [EDIT:]... JK.  They are on the tower in the middle of the store.

       Well, if it is true as they say, that the higher one's rise the greater one's fall .. And after how popular high-waisted trousers have been lately ..

    So true!  Though I still love a good high-waist.

    I haven't posted here for a very long while after getting my hand slapped for having a signature on my photos when others do and have no issues.  That didn't sit well with me.   But this turned out so great I am going through the extra steps and posting.   

     

    Floating ...   taken at my new spot at Babbage in the Canals district :D.  I have always loved Babbage.  

    I had no idea that watermarking or “signing” your pictures that you post was an issue in the first place.  I always put a little watermark on mine?

    Is it stated somewhere that we can’t?
