Things don’t always work out

Planning and execution are two different things. I wanted to showcase another Vignette but I felt the interior of my home just wasn’t right for the story I planned. Or at least not just yet.

This was one of the photos I planned to show to help tell the story. This photo or perhaps the angle … or maybe its the all zombie shows I’ve been watching, that conveys the “something wicked comes this way”. Of course, its not the emotion I was looking for to tell the story I planned. Of course!  Instead, I did a semi-raw shot. I did clip and clean the photo a little. I posted a variant on my flickr stream showing the amount of editing I typically do on photos.

Stay tuned for that story…

Home for Christmas

This was my welcome screen today so I thought what better way bring back my raw photography. Plus I also get to show off how I decorated the adorable C88 offering called Frostbite Cottage from Trompe Loeil. I did change up a few of the landscaping details. Look closing for the letters in the snow and the cutest angel on the doorstep are from the Together for Sway event.

I’ll be Home for Christmas

Morning Light

All alone
In this heat my thoughts
Start to wander
{Lamb-Lust}

Thought I’d showcase the new Belleza skin with no editing (other than my crop and name). Well, I also needed to get back into doing more Raw Photos for my collection. Hopefully I’ll have this windlight out soon for download too.

Collabor88 opens today

As the flood of folks enter Collabor88 today, I’d like to show a few of the finds in this round:

Since my prior post wasn’t shown in the raw, I felt I needed to make up for it with this photo. Playing with shadows for these unedited photos is really quite interesting and very rewarding.

All items in this photo, except for the house, are all found at Collabor88 this month. For the details, check out the style card on LunaJubilee.com.

Dreaming in Raw

I’m planning to show more raw photos on my blog. What made me think about skipping the heavy photo editing was a prior post where I used a pure raw shot from Secondlife. Creating raw photos a great challenge for me and helps me not be complacent with my photography skills.

I’ve created a new flickr set for these raw shots. Also, in the credits after the cut, I’ll denote the photoshop editing, if any, as well as the Windlight setting used.
