Photo Session : all about colors, part four

Join us this coming Thursday 9th of July at 11.00am SLT in the Orange Island Photo Gallery for the fourth part of the class based on RL Photography Theory ‘Colors in Second Life’ by Zephyru Zapedzki.

Last session was focused on the environment editor and the Lights in SL. We learned the many ways to affect colors in-world.

Post-precessing Colors / Color...

This week, Zeph will briefly introduce the basics of post-processing colors. This will also be the occasion to ask him everything that comes in your mind about colors.

Then, he will ask you to practise the technique we’ve studied during last classes by making pieces respecting three guidelines (color combinations, windlight endless combinations, prim light studio). Please send it to me or Zeph inworld with your name on it. The pictures will be then exhibited on the Orange Island Photo Gallery.

Next week, Zeph will review your work, a good occasion to discuss about each other works.

You can read more about our color teacher on the first blogpost.
