Dr Katharine Tudor lost her family in a freak accident many years ago. However, investigations into the cause of their death eluded her, and stumped even the savviest detectives in the big city. This all changed after discovering a secret chamber hidden beneath the floorboards of the family manor, leading her to discover a tattered Necronomicon (Book of the Dead). Giving her a vision of a presumably abandoned town out to sea, she sets sail, looking for answers with grimoire in hand… What she discovers will change her perspective on what’s real and what’s fiction, and just how dangerous her lineage is.
These photos were taken at Arranmore in Second Life. This is an eerie, photography-oriented sim which I recommend checking out if you ever need an atmospheric location for a few snaps. If you are looking for other places to take a great screenshot, I would highly recommend visiting the Second Life Destination Guide for Photogenic Spots.
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. Just beware that with high quality content comes a potentially high real-world cost for digital assets.
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.
