Thanks for the advice!

Hmm, somehow I thought the pose HUDs allowed you to move your avatar without messing up your camera position. But then I know pretty much nothing about them. Compositing is certainly an approach. I guess you must shoot yourself against a green screen or something that allows you to select it easily for the compositing? If you don't make a composite, but shoot yourself in the scene at the location, are you just really practiced at getting your avi the right place before you move your camera, or do you just redo your camera position if you need to move your avi into a better position? That really tests my patience, lol. I wish there was a way to move your avi without it repositioning your camera. Edit and moving a pose stand is the only way I know to do that, though... Black Dragon scares me, lol. It sounds really intimidating, but maybe I should give it a try. Thanks for your help!

So, I an trying to learn SL photography, and the part I am struggling with the most is positioning myself without losing my camera position. I have googled a lot, and found some stuff that is helpful, but am still confused. I most likely have missed some important tutorials. People seem to use pose stands to position themselves or other models, and I have run across pose HUDs supposedly for use in places you cannot rez a pose stand. Of course, SL being SL, the MP is full of both stands and HUDs. My problem is choosing the ones to get. Some have a lot of positive reviews, so seem like good choices, but I worry about missing 'the best one,' lol. Any suggestions? Also, what do people actually do when they go to places they cannot rez a pose stand? Do they use the pose HUDs? Or is there some other way to position yourself where you need to be while looking at the scene from the more-or-less target camera angle? Sorry if all this has been covered before. I did find bits and pieces, but am still somewhat confused, and get massively frusturated (neologism, sorry) trying to line things up in SL. Photography is so much easier in RL, if far more expensive. Thanks! Caerolle

Scylla is far too modest. On Flickr, as usual, she has written accompanying text that expands and deepens the meaning of the photo. I realize this forum is just for posting pics, so hopefully it is ok to post a link the Flickr of this for people who want to explore the context of this image, or that of the many other images in her photostream (most or all of which I would guess she posts here): https://www.flickr.com/photos/144085527@N07/48660303896/in/dateposted/

It may not be just you, but it certainly isn't me. I like the conversations and the context of reposting photos with comments, personally. However, if that is all frowned on here, I can certainly just post pics (or not) and STFU. Either is fine with me, I mostly just lurk anyhow. I do love the looks people post, so many are amazing, and I love the personality shown in them. Perhaps some forum rules would be nice, or a link to whichever of the 800-some-odd pages that covers them would be helpful for new people like me who don't know the culture and norms here, and who are too lazy to read all 800-some-odd (I did read the first few, before I first posted in this thread to see what the context was, but did not see any such rules or norms). -Caer

Thanks!

Yes, am also looking for a good undercut to go with my new ‘edgy tattooed girl’ look, lol. I am dreading that effort too! Maybe I should start a new thread on tips for finding stuff in SL in general, and for specific items...

Thanks! I went though most of the places I found via in-world search, which was not as many as I expected. So, today I went to MP, and there were 150,000 hits!!!! Over 1500 pages with 100/page, OMG!!! This is why I really struggle with shopping in SL. Hopefully other people find it easier than I do.~

Thanks! I am a bit slow, lol. 🙄

Ok, now I think I finally understand, lol. They send you something to get Demos. Thanks!

Oh, I thought it was a trick to avoid the massive lag, lol. Duh! 🙄

Looks like a Corgi.

Sorry, read up, cannot find this trick?

I got drug to that years and years ago. Was across 4 sims, and I could barely move. Took far too long to shop, so I gave up and have never been back, lol. Now that I recall, though, I did try another time and despite several attempts could not even get in.~

Ooooo, love the look, and love the tats! I have spent hours this week looking for tats, and have only gotten ONE so far!!!! You scored a great one!

I go through that with mobile data...

Well, personally, I am fully on board with girls with short hair.

Awesome photo as always! And love that hair!

So, what is your take on Max and Chloe?

One can always hope, right? ')

Now *there* would be an interesting photo shoot for you to do!

Wow, you did a great job on the shape! I love skins and make-up and hair, am more indifferent to shoes because I generally don't see them, unlike my face and hair.

Gorgeous! Love that skin, so pretty!

Wow, awesome looks! Thanks so much for the tips!
