2 Place Lynx Luga

  

Hello Lynx  i am one of the team Members here at Monocle Man . Managers 

could please tell me

this for Monocle Mans blog

for the top 3 winners

Tell us about your winning photo in your own words please

I was thinking about a vintage picture to join in. When i tried one on my many outfits, i discovered the one with the scarf and it reminded me of the movie Oppenheimer.  I knew i had some kind of atomic bomb in my messy inventory too. All this combined with a nice school backdrop and a old hat made me do a nice pose and voila. 

It took me a while to make the pose perfect. pity there is no face resemblance lol

   

Do you do photos in rl as well?

No, i don't but i would like to. maybe in the future i am planning to take some real nature pictures and edit them. but for now i can't seem to find the time to do it. 

   

  

How did you learn the Basics in Photography?

Just by trying hard. I asked some advice from people here in second life. I started checking there angles and what they where using to make a wonderful picture. I followed hundreds of people on flickr, who i considered better then me, and i embraced criticism so i could improve. 

The hard part was photoshop. I learned the basics with youtube movies and a short entroduction manual.

I know only the basics, but with the help of other editors i can combine different filters and lights to get that (perfect shot)

Do you use any wind lights in second life?

It depends of the mood and what kind of picture. it happens when i take a landscape, but i use different filters to change sky's and lights with some editors outside second life.

I love to give a little magic touch to a picture.

Who do you look up to in picture art SL/RL?

Like i said before, i follow hundreds of people who i consider equal or better then me here in second life.

There are so many good Artists here.

I have some favorites like the all mighty Skip Staheli, Bo Zano, Panda Banana, Roy Mildor, Hilaire Baumont and offcourse skippy :)

But watch my Flickr Gallery's to discover more lovely and amazing artists.

Would you like to do a Art  exhibit at Monocle Man one day?

i already did, and yes i am planning to do one next year
