Black Wedding

My photography is venturing out further.

I've been wanting to take my snapshots out of my modeling studio and in to the Second Life world. I took great use in the Environment Editor, in particular the Advanced Sky Editor to create some wonderful halo glows.

With minor Photoshop touch-ups and some additional glow effects, the following photos were captured.

Location: The Crucible (no longer exists)

If you have not been here, do it soon. Absolutely gorgeous. There is a castle on the far hill near the back...and if you explore it enough, you'll find the secret pool room.

The outfit....

I had won a $1000L gift certificate to Kayliwulf Kingdom for a Best in Latex Contest. The latex clothing at K&K is much tighter, shorter and more revealing than I care for...except for this gown. It certainly had my name written all over it.

This is the Latex Wedding Ensemble, Dark Duchess.

Two adjustments to this gown. First, the top is P.S. Design, from the Latex Anzug outfit.

Also, the original skirt that came with was enormous, a bit too large for my tastes. So I borrowed the skirt from the Domenia Dress I have, which shows off my legs.

Photography and Photoshop...

I won't go in to detail of all my settings, but I took an extended amount of time to play with the Advanced Sky Editor. The hazy halo in the background was done using the Sun Glow settings.

I cleaned up some blemishes and added a glow effect with Photoshop to complete the look.

The shot above...is completely untouched. There was nothing for me to do in Photoshop. What you see is how it looked on my computer screen.

The rest of the photos below are edited.

This was quite interesting. I played a lot with the Cloud Editor, creating the above image. With some color changes, I put myself in Fly Mode, posed...and took a snapshot.

I certainly enjoyed this set and plan on looking for new places for snapshots.
