Photography is a hobby
appreciated by many SL residents. With a little effort and patience it is possible
to enjoy all the SL graphic resources available, and get quality photos with a
variety of lightning, colors, shadows and textures.
If you’re willing to become
an SL photographer you should take a little time to configure your SL viewer,
to obtain clear photos and graphic quality. Also, you may need some knowledge
on photo editing to improve the quality. Take a look at your viewer’s tools,
some of them are really helpful.
The Firestorm Viewer, for
example, has some really interesting tools. Here’s a few tips to use with that
viewer.
You should remember that the
final result will depend also on your computer capacity. Yes, processor, RAM
memory and your video board may interfere. With good hardware configuration
comes great SL photography.
But let’s face it. Some of
us just want to have some fun and take some pics. So just choose a great view
and go ahead! Explore the artistic beauty of the architectural wonders created
by mankind… SL mankind.
