Windlight 2

Using the windlight files I got from Torley Linden's wiki page the other day, I took tons of pics just to get a feel for how my place looked in the various settings.

Two emerge as my favorites.  To recreate that kind of English countryside feel you get in those gloriously filmed British sitcoms, this is FoggyMintTeaHouse:

And for just a Mr. Rogers kind of feel to your second life, 

Midday Quiet Confidence

Torley says his favorite midday replacement is "Nostalgika," but I didn't get a pic of that one, so I must not have seen the nuanced differences at 1am this morning, hah!

Thanks to Torley for all his great work!  Now if I could just find a collection of all of Eric Linden's trees etc. in-world...

Windlight

Kardesh had me playing with face and body lights the other night after he taught me how to make one; he showed me that using different shapes and colors can really affect the way your avi looks.  (That's one thing I like about K: it's all about the details, and that's how it is for me too.)  I love to take screenshots of the avis in SL, so I want to play with this a lot more.
Another thing that I'm learning is GREAT for photos is windlight settings for the water and sky.  Torley has a great page on the wiki about them here, and there's a download zipped file of bunches of his own preferred settings there too.  I just found that today, so I'll post more pics here as I try them.  Meanwhile, here's one I did inworld the other night.
