As we head towards the half-way point of Autumn, the weather is getting slightly cooler and the countdown is on until winter fashion! I for one have this lovely coat which I purchased when last down in Melbourne for holiday, which remains my go-to choice for a nippy morning. But in a virtual world you do not need to worry about things such as seasons, and I couldn’t help nabbing myself this coat from the in-universe store *Edelweiss*!
This photo was taken in Second Life. Second Life does have a reputation for more adult content (there is no shortage of that if you explicitly look for it). However, those interested in using it to build custom avatars and take great photographs will find a lot on offer from the user-created worlds, purchasable content for your avatars, a high level of customisation and clients dedicated to taking fantastic photos.
Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the Take That (In-Game) Snap article series, in which the first article focusing on Final Fantasy XIV was recently published. This looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games. It will cover how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
