Photo contest - 4 days left


As you know, we regularly do photo contests. Mostly they're linked to one of our newspaper sections. The current contest is called "Funniest Box Attachment" and the deadline will be there on July 29th. That is 4 days from now !!

Of course you know what this contest is about. We all remember the days when we were new to Second Life, or maybe you still are. And I bet you've all experienced it: wearing something that is in your inventory and then finding out it's just a box or something else that should be on the floor, not on you. Well, just think of something funny to wear and take that photo !!

The prize consists of 2 parts. The most important part to most of you is the very handsome award of L$ 1000. The second part is a private SL photography workshop by me. Of course it's your choice to decide if you need or want this second part, but even if you don't need it, maybe we could have some fun exchanging experiences and maybe learn some small tips & tricks from eachother.

The workshop will consist of a short introduction to see at what level of experience you are. After that, we will take a look at some technical tips to make sure you get the best out of your SL photo's. We'll also explore some of the differences and similarities between RL and SL photography, and of course see how you can utilize them. And of course we'll do some practicing in a professional studio or somewhere on location, whichever you and your friends prefer.

Now, if you are completely inexperienced with taking photo's or snapshots in SL, this contest might be a bit difficult to enter, but just send me an IM and I will show you the basics. I'll be happy to show you, just because I love to see all those funny pictures. And wouldn't it be great to win the L$ 1000 and the workshop?


To enter, you can also drop your snapshot/uploaded texture in my inventory. It might be easier for you if you haven't saved your picture to your harddisk. Or of course e-mail it to dixiebarb@gmail.com, as it says in the poster here.

Good luck & happy photo shooting !!
