Enjoying my Monday morning on the island of Bumrose...

Some quickshots taken, well quick... I did spend some time to tweak poses.

But was a short fun moment.

The quest for applications

When you ask a SecondLife photographer which tool he or she uses to work on his snapshots, the most standard answers are either GiMP, or Adobe PhotoShop. So when I started I tried these also. And yes, I know, Adobe PhotoShop is very good, except what struck me the most whas the price for it on a monthly base. GiMP is also good, except I had too much trouble to find my way in it, and get a decent result. I would say GiMP is build for the geeks by the geeks. And I am not a geek... So I looked further, and finally dropped in my google search on the application suite of Affinity , a U.K. company, and decided to give them a try as they had what I needed. Their price looks decent, and I downloaded their software for the trial of 90 days. And to be honest, they have a good structured approach in their way of working. You get the applications quickly in your hand (fingers), and the results are there quickly. And most of all, they exist on Windows PC and macOS. The only thing I missed, was an a...

Writing texts as a non-english native person.

As English is for me a learned language and not my mother tongue, I know that the way I write is not always the best way. I seem to have a tendency to write to difficult and with too much influence from my classic studies. I had in the past many complaints about it, so I needed to work on it. And then I found me a website, which had even an offline application to help me. The website is https://hemingwayapp.com , and gives you a good aid when you redact a text. It flags very clear where your structure fails, and most of the times overs you a solution for it. It also grades your text in readability, the lower the better. And in this way it makes sure that your text is understandable in an easy way by everybody. It looks as an extra task to do, but the result is there.  Your blog, or any text is better for its reader, and they appreciate this. On my desktop PC, I use the editor provided on the website. But when I am travelling, I invested in the application on my laptop. In that way ...

Getting over some important stuff...

Just to avoid any further questions, I just want to get over some important stuff, some technical for the geeks, and some just out of the blue as I want to get it written down. I will just write it down in a Q/A style, so it is a bit easier to follow. Q: What viewer do you use to access SecondLife ? Currently I am using the viewer BlackDragon. You can find more information on the following URL  https://niranv-sl.blogspot.com/ The reason why I use this viewer is very simple: Photographs I was pointed to the viewer by a friend of mine, and I was pleased with the way it uses my system to give me a decent view on the world. And also it allows me to create the best possible pictures. Please note that the viewer is not like any other standard viewer, which are most of the time embellished, enhanced copies of the official secondlife viewer, but is a complete revisited environment. So the first time you will use it, you will have to learn it, because everything changes. Q: What hardware do...
