Happy holidays and That Last-Minute Gift Idea!

*** She skips into the room wearing a little red corset with the tutu skirt and a Santa hat. Taking a closer look you notice that she is carrying a big plate of cookies. With a smile she goes to sit at the desk, and she places the cookies on the desktop before speaking. ***

Merry Christmas everyone! A know normally I stay up with you guys to track Santa, but this year is I could just not stay awake. (I think an elf spiked my coffee!) So I thought I would bring everyone cookies! I actually have some in SL, if anyone would like. (HeHe) 

The first thing I would like to do is to wish each one of you a happy holiday from Stefan and myself.


I hope that your day is blessed and all your dreams come true.

The last thing I wanted to do was help all of the list minutes shoppers who friends and family having logged in yet. If you are still struggling to find the perfect last minute gift, why not try LUMIPro? It is a wonderful gift for the photographer in your life. Even our very own users think so!

Absolutely Amazing

Decided to get back into photography, so I was looking up how to better my shots and for something to let me use poses on SIMs without rezzing when I ran across the LumiPro. After some hesitation (I hate giving up my lind on large purchases lol) i went ahead and bought it and havent been disappointed yet. After playing around with the lighting for just a few minutes I could see a drastic improvement in my photos. I can't thank you enough!

Amazing

Spreading Christmas Cheer with LUMIPro!

*** She walks into the sales gallery with arms full of presents. As she crouches down to start placing them under the tree you see a line of men, shirtless dressed in slacks with suspenders and a Santa hat, follow behind her. Looking up she motions for them to start placing the photos on the wall. Then as she places the last present she turns with a smile to everyone else in the room. ***

Good afternoon everybody! With the holidays, and of course Santa Claus on his way, I thought it was time to share some of the Christmas cheer being created with LUMIPro.  As I was looking in LUMIPro's Flickr group it was such a difficult choice. I am always so amazed by everyone's creativity! I feel blessed to represent a company whose product helps to each of you bring your artistic vision to light. All that being said, let's show off some of your Christmas cheer and winter spirit!



 
 
 

 
Aren't these photos just great?! I want to remind everyone if your photos are not shareable I cannot use them in spotlights. If you want to check out more holiday cheer, created by LUMIPro users, take a look at the Flickr group. You won't be disappointed!

I think this is going to be a wonderful holiday season. The release of LUMIPro 2017 was amazing! Look at all that you guys are creating with it! Don't forget to remind your friends and family that LUMIPro is a great holiday gift, and updates are always free!

Congratulations to our holiday spotlights! I have no doubt that I will be talking with you guys again before the big day. Until next time... Merry Christmas!

*** With a wave and a smile she assures you out the door to get ready for the holiday. ***

Its been 48 hours since we released LUMIPro 2017 and its now in the hands of 100s of photographers and we know we owe everyone some quality documentation and training videos.   The manual edits are in flight and hopefully we'll have our fully updated 2017 manual by next week.  We also plan on redoing the training videos using the 2017 HUD.

Until then, here is a video for experienced LUMIPro folks giving an overview of the 2017 features.  

If you have questions or issues contact Samantha Ansar-Buscaylet or myself.

Happy shooting. Let me know what you think.

A Big Thank You from LUMIPro and TexasRob!

Hello everyone! I am happy to report that our very first gallery opening was a success. The quality of work displayed by TexasRob was awesome, and it was so great to see so many of you come and show your support. I have a message from Rob for everyone, "I want to express my thanks to the LUMIPro staff and to everyone who came to the opening of the exhibit. I was overwhelmed at being chosen and by the show of support from my fellow photographers." If you want to find out more about the artist I interviewed Rob for Attention Magazine.

While Stefan was at the opening he grabbed a couple screenshots of the action.


Don't worry if you were unable to attend the opening, TexasRob's exhibit will be up at least until the 29th of October. I wanted to take a moment and share a few of the great photography you will find there...




If these don't make you want to go check it out, I am not sure what will! Here is a ride to get you there. I am so excited about getting to feature the photographers in our amazing community. You never know who might be next!

LUMIPro Is Proud To Present TexasRob McRae!

*** Shuffles into the gallery still were in her pajamas, as she sits down on the desk she lightly blows on her cup of coffee to cool it. Looking up with a smile, she takes a sip, before addressing everyone. ***

DJ Mesostopheles will be keeping you entertained this afternoon. He is going to be playing some great music while we all chat and put a big smile on Rob's face!

We are hoping this will be the first of many art shows that we host at LUMIPro World Headquarters. I'm not going to put a dress code, but please make sure you at least wear shirt. *** Laughs softly ***

I hope to see each of you there this afternoon, and don't forget to bring a friend!



Well I am going to finish my coffee, and get everything ready to go. I look forward to seeing everyone this afternoon! Until then... Happy Shooting!

Calling On The LUMIPro Army!

*** She walks into the room her hips swaying as she makes her way to the desk. Once she sits down you see and "I nominated" button pinned to her shirt. ***

Hi everybody! I hope all of you are having an amazing Wednesday! I wanted to take a moment to remind you guys that today the last day to get your nominations in for the  Avi Choice Awards. It would mean a lot to all of us if you would consider nominating LUMIPro for favorite photography/media tool. We cannot do the things we do without each of your support!

Here are the steps to nominate:
1. You can find the nomination page for the arts here.
2. As you scroll down you'll see that the first thing they ask for is your Second Life name, don't worry it will be kept confidential, but it is required for a nomination to be valid.
3. As you scroll down you'll see all sorts of categories relating to the artistic endeavors in Second Life. The Favorite Photography/Media Tool nomination is the very LAST one on the page.
4. This is what a nomination for LUMIPro should look like: LUMIPro HUD, Stefan Buscaylet, https://my.secondlife.com/stefan.buscaylet
5. Last but not least click submit!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I also want to remind everyone that not only are they taking nominations for the arts section of the awards but also for the fashion awards. Let's come together as a community and show everyone our support! I look forward to seeing who all gets nominated, and with any luck LUMIPro will be on that list! Don't worry if you have friend or family who were not online yet. I will be sending out little reminders throughout the day. Once again thank you so much for your support! Until next time... Happy Nominations!

LUMIPro Presents TexasRob McRae!

*** Walks into LUMIPro World Headquarters,  past the desk, and over to a black curtain. Tugging at the rope playfully she gives everyone a smile. ***

So I know some of you have been wondering what we could possibly be hiding behind this curtain; well I think it's time to finally share our secret with you! LUMIPro World Headquarters is officially being transformed into an art gallery! We will be taking artwork from our amazing users and letting you them show it off. I am super excited about this project. Our very first featured featured will be none other than TexasRob McRae!


You all know some of his work from the wonderful gobos that are included in LUMIPro. Now you will get to see some of his artistic expression! This will be the first of many shows at LUMIPro World Headquarters! We will be featuring a new artist each month.

For Rob's show we will be entertained by DJ Mesostopheles. It takes place on October 15TH at 2 PM SLT. I hope you guys will come out to show your support. 

Also don't forget there is still trying to get in your Avi Choice Award nominations!

You guys know what I always say, until next time...  Happy Shooting! Now get out of here so we can take care of all the last-minute details. ;)

Don't Forget to Nominate!!!

*** Walks into the room almost tripping as she reaches the desk. Managing to catch herself she sits down the poster in her hand and smooths out her skirt. ***

That wasn't what I would call graceful, but I am excited! There is a week to go in the Avi Choice Nominations, and we need your help! We have been so fortunate to win the Avi Choice Award for Favorite Photography/Media Tool two years running. The category would not have even existed without the support of you guys!

I am sad to say that this will be the last year the Avi Choice Awards will be held. We would love to go out with one more award under our belt. If you guys love your LUMIPro nominate us! There are also many other great categories that you can nominate people in.

Here is a step-by-step on how to nominate:
1. You can find the nomination page for the arts here.
2. As you scroll down you'll see that the first thing they ask for is your Second Life name, don't worry it will be kept confidential, but it is required for a nomination to be valid.
3. As you scroll down you'll see all sorts of categories relating to the artistic endeavors in Second Life. The Favorite Photography/Media Tool nomination is the very LAST one on the page.
4. This is what a nomination for LUMIPro should look like: LUMIPro HUD, Stefan Buscaylet, https://my.secondlife.com/stefan.buscaylet

If you need any help at all please don't hesitate to message me, or a member of the LUMIPro team, in world. They will be taking nominations until October 12th.

Oh by the way we are going to be having our first gallery show very soon, but I will give you more details about that tomorrow. *** winks ***

Avi Choice Nominations and Spotlights!

*** As she ushers you into the room she removes her glasses from her face, and she wipes them clean with the hem of her skirt. She places her glasses back on her face before speaking. ***

I am so happy that everyone could make it today, I thought I would start the month of October with two very exciting things. The first thing I want to talk about is the Avi Choice Awards. This year will be the final award show! LUMIPro has been lucky enough, thanks to everyone's help, to win the award for Favorite Photography/Media Tool two years running. We could not have done it without you guys! It would make me super ecstatic if we could surprise Stefan with another win this year, the first we need to do is get nominated... This is where all you awesome people come in! To help us get on the ballot click this link and just fill out the form. You do not have to pick a nominee for each category, our category is close to the bottom of the form. They will be taking nominations until the 12th of October. I cannot express to you how much your continued love and support means to us! If you need any help or have any questions don't hesitate to contact me in world.

I am so excited about everything to come I decided that this blog post needed something a little more, so it's time for a... LUMIPro Spotlight!


  





I'm always so amazed when I get a chance to sit down and look at everyone's work. You guys do such a great job! I am just glad I get to watch you all growing changes artists. Congratulations to today's spotlights!
