Let's get to it! Every year we love to see what you guys come up with for seasonal photos, and sometimes they even get to be featured as LUMIPro advertisements! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This year I thought why not give you two themes to work with. They can be holiday-themed (Christmas, Hanaka, etc.) or goodbye 2020 themed (Happy New Years etc).</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are the guidelines</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We will be accepting contest entries until December 28th. (DEADLINE EXTENDED to January 2nd!)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">All photos must be holiday or new years themed. This does not necessarily have to mean just Christmas or your standard New Years party. Think outside the box and have fun!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We will be using photos from this particular contest for our holiday advertisements. So here is a <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6cp4beyypybot68/AABjGlBwrKiZhlENdaGEcgGOa?dl=0" target="_blank">link</a> to some of the LUMIPro logos and banners if you would like to use them.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">All photos must be entered in the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/lumipro/" target="_blank">LUMIPro Flickr Group</a> as well as the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/4014724@N24/" target="_blank">LUMIPro Contest Group</a> with Holiday2020 somewhere in the title.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">All photos entered into the contest must be downloadable (this makes our job easier) If they are not downloadable they will not be considered.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">You are allowed to enter as many photos as you like just please make sure they follow <a href="http://lumipro.blogspot.com/p/community-standards.html" target="_blank">LUMIPro's Community Content Standards.</a></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, don't forget this contest is open to LUMIPro users only, and all entries must have been taken while using LUMIPro.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now onto the fun part... The prizes!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">First Place will receive 5,000 Lindens and a LUMIPro gift certificate!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Second Place will receive 3,000 lindens and a LUMIPro gift certificate!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Third Place will receive 2,000 Linden and a LUMIPro gift certificate!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">*All gift certificates are transferable.*</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I always get so excited to see what everyone comes up with when we do a contest.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everybody! I am so excited to get to introduce you guys to LUMIPro's newest gallery artist... Jake Frost! He is not only an amazing talent but a great person as well. I had the pleasure of sitting down with him for an interview this week, and I wanted to share it with everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to not only get to interview a friend but an amazing artist. ! So first question… How did you hear about Second Life, and what got you started?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yay!! Me too. I hope it all translates well for reading...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think 2006 I created my first av to do a virtual social experiment on color of an av and perception bias. “Way back in MY time …” before there were skins and stuff. What was crazy back then (before Lumi) is, I had someone create a projector script to change the intensity and light color. So I got the photo bug early on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">That is so cool. I have thought about going around Second Life as a man just to explore a different experience. What are some of the things that you love about Second Life? What keeps you coming back?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel like Second Life is Purgatory for those who are sometimes stricken with something physical and can’t get out … and socially awkward. Specifically, I fall into the latter category. It allows you to be anything and afford things you couldn’t in RL. Even with all the saga that can happen, I LOVE the beautiful places here, and how much has changed (bling:rip). Also, I’ve made friends over time who have supported me through some rough stuff. It’s a place to learn and grow and create. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I totally agree! I never would have guessed you struggled to be social. You are so much fun to be around, but back to photography. You know how much I love your work. What got you started in photography? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Light. Also, I had people encouraging me to do more when I just started doing snapshots. When shadows got added to SL it was over for me :) A friend of mine in my Master’s program was selling digital art and had a gallery. I started tinkering. I also got kind of a mentor named Cienega Soon, and she showed me galleries of all the amazing things people were creating. Finally, if anyone knows the story of Colin and Melodious Source that’s what serves as a little seed of inspiration even now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I have always said photography is a journey; it is not about being the best, but about where you are going. Why do you take photos? Are you trying to say something to the world?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I take photos because I can’t NOT take photos. That bit about being socially awkward... photos are how I connect with people. It takes time to get to know someone, find their specific light, angles that work for them. It’s this gorgeous puzzle mixed with a treasure hunt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As far as where I am going … I’ve just started diving into erotica. It is NOT easy, and there is lots of, ‘Hey sit on the pose. Nope. Crap. Up please. Nope. This light sucks.” I do not want porn. There is enough of that to gag a cow, so I’m doing my best to set a better precedent for what art can be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What’s great about art in SL is I’ve reached out to people who I feel are crazy beautiful artists and they’ve given me hints along the way. I have note cards collected from conversations that I read from time to time to help me remember basic things. Right now I’m trying to share my knowledge to help someone close to me get their skills up, so teaching is also a “give back” thing for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">That is awesome. I love it when people are open enough to share their knowledge. When you decide you want to do a new photo what is your creative process like from start to finish?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That’s a massive fuckin’ question. It depends on the context. There are times I’ll see something someone is wearing, and say “don’t move” then start snapping. Others, I have multiple “long term” ideas in my head. One specific image I’ve been trying to re-capture for 10 years. I’ve gotten close, but still hunting for it. In general, it’s always a collaboration, and whomever I work with can say ‘what this really needs is…” then put that in the photo stew too. Sometimes, you just have to back off of an idea and come back to it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I work in Black Dragon mostly, so I have maybe 100+ windlights I’ve created for specific people or for a specific mood. There are maybe a dozen I start as a base, then just move sliders around. My “vibe” is adding a bit of haze to an environment and love of shadow. I used to be rather monochrome but trying to branch out and bring a bit more color to things I do now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What advice would you give to new photographers in Second Life?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don’t force it. Surround yourself with people who encourage you, and respect the haters. Haters have something to teach us too. Take what you can, then dust those fuckers off and move on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Admittedly, I struggle with that last bit. So that’s why I’m sharing it :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">William Weaver, Anya Ohmai (content creators and teachers), Eripom, Jinxy Jinx, KimB, Sonic, Lam Erin, Nekotto, Jeff Montgomery, Arnno Planar, Prophet, Loverdag, Swain Craven (mild drool) Samanda (who helped me way early on in the journey) …B. Tombstone, Bytedreams Slade… on and on. Also, I have to give a shout out to Coco (owner of Ilcocoli) who when I got frustrated would say “call me” and just show me things at the drop of a hat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That’s just off the top of my head. I only follow those who inspire me. So, if I follow you on FLICKR you inspire me in some way.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">So how about we talk about the hud that brought us together, LUMIPro! How did you hear about LUMIPro, and what made you decide to take the plunge and get the HUD? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pondering. I think I was searching for a pose stand on MP, or maybe it was light scripts? Anyway, I can’t remember how it began, but I remember that immediately there was a community to ask questions with people who were having the same struggles making a vision happen. I think a combination of the Lumi community and the product itself is what made me a fan from the beginning. I also remember, waaaay back when, you and Stefan actually dropped by my little spot where I was learning. I felt like such a big deal lol. So that was a memory that kept me committed to the Lumi as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I remember when you first got started with LUMIPro! I love watching people grow in their artistic journey. Watching you explore new freedom and creativity has been awesome. Do you have a favorite LUMIPro feature? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sitball. And let me think… sitball. Then there’s the sitball. When you showed me how to do that, it elevated my ability to make a vision happen. The lights and such are cool, but to me, the entire package of what Lumi provides (pretty much ANYWHERE you want to shoot), is well worth the cost. Also, you never stop learning with it. Mixing between Lumi and windlights gives me photogasms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">That is why I love helping people watching that “light bulb’’ moment when they learn something new just makes me happy. If you could pick a new LUMIPro feature what would it be?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If I could directly manipulate the skeleton on someone posing, I’d pay another 3k for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">So tell me something else… Maybe share something our readers won’t know. What makes you who you are? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love storms and creating experiences of interaction. So, the gallery setup is designed for direct interaction with the art, and spaces to just sit and be. We’re testing all the diff pieces right now, but I like doing things that make folks think about something differently for themselves and go create.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s cheesy, but to remember how blessed I am and to remain joyful. I think each person deals with the “I’m not good enough for this vision that I have for my life.” You are. I am. The person next to you is. What I am learning in SL about relationships extends into my real life as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So … whatever it is you are going through as you read this, I hope you heal if you need healing. If you are radiating with good vibes, share them. Be kind. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope everyone enjoys getting to know the man behind the camera. Here is Jake's <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/froststone/" target="_blank">Flickr</a> if you would like to give him a follow. The show will be on May 23rd from 5-7PM SLT.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, all you lovely people! With so many of us being stuck at home right now MoMo and I thought it would be a great idea to bring a new artist to the studio! We are proud to be able to feature the works of <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rayvenous/" target="_blank">Raven (Rayvenous Resident)</a>. I had the pleasure of sitting down with her recently, here's how it went...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to have the opportunity to interview such an amazing artist! So first question… How did you hear about Second Life, and what got you started? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> I first heard of Second Life from a friend. I tried it for a few weeks and didn’t see the big hype but then I found photography and therefore my passion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What are some of the things that you love about Second Life? What keeps you coming back? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> I love meeting people from all around the globe. I love being able to be myself freely, without judgment. My love for my friends and photography definitely keeps me coming back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49656683612_8d8634918e_k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="800" height="350" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49656683612_8d8634918e_k.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love your work. What got you started in photography? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> I met a friend when I first arrived in SL. He was a photographer himself so he introduced me to the lifestyle. After that, it was just an adventure finding my niche. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always said photography is a journey; it is not about being the best, but about where you are going. Why do you take photos? Are you trying to say something to the world?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> My photos are usually a pictation of the mood I am in at that moment. It’s a way of expressing myself and hopefully helping others that may be struggling with the same emotions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49633565266_a98bc2cad6_k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="456" data-original-width="800" height="364" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49633565266_a98bc2cad6_k.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you decide you want to do a new photo what is your creative process like from start to finish?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> Ha. I’m not sure I have a “process”. It starts with an emotion. Am I sad, happy, feeling sexy, or just in a melancholy state of mind. Then it’s the outfit, the outfit definitely sets the whole scene in motion. Then it’s either shopping through my inventory for decor, backdrops, anything I can find to create the perfect scene (or spending linden which I do way too often lol). Once the scene is set, the moment is captured, I then set out to find the perfect mood-setting song and the title flows from that. Pretty basic, nothing too elaborate, it just starts and ends with emotion. I think we can all relate to that. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, I think we all can! What advice would you give to new photographers in Second Life? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> Do what you feel in the moment. Do not worry if others will like it or not. It’s not a journey to be stressed over, it’s a journey of fun, learning, and expressing oneself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love that! Do you have any photography inspirations in either Second Life or Real Life? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> My first inspiration was Mark Steiner, he got me started and taught me so much and I’m forever thankful to him for that. There’s also Abyss Spires, who is a great person and teacher, willing to share any knowledge he has. Others are Dusty Pedroia, Terr Jedda, Lou Shadow and many many others. There are really so many great photographers that inspire me to do better.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So how about we talk about the hud that brought us together, LUMIPro! How did you hear about LUMIPro, and what made you decide to take the plunge and get the HUD? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> I heard about LUMIPro from Mark Steiner. The ease of use and tools available on one HUD sold me. It was a little bit of a learning curve at first but now I can’t imagine doing my photography without it. The ability to store poses, lighting adjustments, GOBOs (my favorite), and the fact you can use it without having to rez a pose stand (though that’s absolutely an option as well). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am glad you love it! Do you have a favorite LUMIPro feature? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> GOBOs and the projector are my favorite features by far.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">TexasRob did a great job with the GOBOs. If you could pick a new LUMIPro feature what would it be? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven: </b>Maybe an impossible task, but the ability to save couple poses, that would be a wonderful feature </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> The main thing that makes me who I am is that I am true to myself. I don’t try to be anyone else. I love who I am and I want to share that with the world. I never meet a stranger and I am a friend to the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Raven:</b> To continue on my journey of photography. To learn and grow as not only a photographer but as a person as well. I want to experience life in ways I am constricted to in Real Life. After all, that is what Second Life is about, right? It’s a gateway to so many opportunities one may not be able to achieve, for countless reasons, in Real Life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you so much for this opportunity to let me shine. To show the world of Second Life my journey and hopefully join me on the path of endless possibilities.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, my lovelies! It has been s while since I have chatted with my favorite people so I thought I would bring you something exciting. LUMIPro has partnered Elar by Dominant Elegance to bring you a photo contest! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elar is a beautiful steampunk-themed sim with a BDSM flair! It is quickly becoming one of my favorite places. I thought I would let the owner Shayn Mackenzie tell you more...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"A short history of The Isle of Elar. It was founded by a group of BDSM practitioners that were fleeing persecution because of their chosen lifestyle. They happened on a small island in the mouth of a dormant volcano. Beneath the island is a labyrinth of steam vents that the city's inhabitants were able to harness to create a city powered by the natural steam provided by the heat trapped within the volcano. The architecture of the city reflects both the founders' love of art and their desire to further their practice of BDSM. Throughout the city, you will find many buildings that beckon for a photographer's eye. A great deal of time and effort has been devoted to the creation of Isle of Elar and it's intended level of detail. We call ourselves Elarians and welcome your visit to our fine city. We only ask that while here you dress either in Steampunk attire or something equally dressy in nature. We welcome humans, vampires, nekos and those with anthropomorphic avatars."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now for the fun part... Contest details!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">**Contest Rules & FAQ**</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Who is eligible to enter?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyone. The contest is open to anyone who would like to join. The only requirement is that you follow our rules and be a member of Dominant Elegance. Entering is free. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. What is the contest time period?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The contest will commence on the March 15th, 2020 and run until April 15th, 2020</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. How will winners be notified?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Winners will be announced via notice in the Dominant Elegance group and contacted individually upon close of the contest. The winning pictures will be displayed in the Emporium upon completion of the contest. Additionally, we will be making a selection of noteworthy works to also be displayed in the Emporium. All artists with work displayed will be notified prior to the grand opening of the Gallery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. What are the prizes?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First Place: A gift certificate for a LUMIPro </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Second Place: 3,000 L$</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Third Place: 1,500 L$</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. How will we determine the winners? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The winners will be chosen by an anonymous panel of five judges.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Where do the pictures need to be taken? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All pictures need to be taken on the Isle of Elar, including the inside of buildings to qualify for the contest. Submitted pictures that fail to comply fully with this will be disqualified. This is a great opportunity to explore the many unique places for photography throughout the city. All photos may contain nudity, but if clothed, the pictures must follow the rules of attire for the sim. This is a steampunk sim. Your photos should reflect that or our culture of BDSM. If you can do both, it will go a long way in originality for your photos.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. May I rez things for the photos?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, as always, visitors to the Isle of Elar may rez objects, but please remember to pick any items you rez.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. May I use post-editing for the photos? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, you may use any software at your disposal as well as inworld lighting. Do not think that if you are not able to post edit the photos that you will automatically lose. We are looking at content as major criteria for the photos. We are choosing a total of 20 pictures to be displayed in the gallery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. How do I submit pictures?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All pictures will be submitted to the "Isle of Elar Photo Contest" Flickr group. Please add your Second Life name to the description section of the photo</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning LUMIPro enthusiasts! Today we are excited to bring you s gallery show featuring the work of the amazing Tiya Aura. The show will be today (the 16th) at 1 PM. While we all wait I had the pleasure of sitting down with her for an interview...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-89cee1e6-7fff-781f-c02d-4e40be6cc3ee"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I am so excited to have the opportunity to interview such an amazing artist! So first question… How did you hear about Second Life, and what got you started?
<b>Tiya: </b>I was watching a TV show many years ago. While watching it, I was amazed at how these people, who were playing the game took it so real. I got talking to my friend about it and just for fun, we decided to try it. I guess like everyone else who plays Second Life we got addicted the first day on it.
What are some of the things that you love about Second Life? What keeps you coming back?
<b>Tiya: </b>I was a massive horse breeder and an auctioneer. Designing great horses and selling them was such a buzz I was totally addicted and made great Money. Meeting some amazing people also was fantastic, even though I don’t Breed horses anymore I still have all the friends I met while doing it.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I love your work. What got you started in photography?
<b>Tiya: </b>I had some friends who would ask me to do profile pictures for them. Then some other friends said try Flickr. I had never heard of it. So I took a look and was amazed at all the artist that did great artwork I was blown away and thought I need to learn this and so I did ( Best thing I’ve done so far in Second Life )
I have always said that photography is a journey it is not about being the best, but about where you are going. Why do you take photos? Are you trying to say something to the world?
<b>Tiya: </b>Hard question to answer, I guess it’s the love of what you can do with the lights and your avatar and seeing the finished picture. As you know some pictures can take hours, you have to fix your fingers, fix your face, body limbs, etc. For me, it’s relaxing and it makes me feel good creating something that other people love, also it makes you feel good and there isn’t a better feeling than that.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">When you decide you want to do a new photo what is your creative process like from start to finish?
<b>Tiya: </b>Oh, this is easy ( I am laughing here ) I go shopping and see something I like. Usually, the moment I see it, I get an idea for a picture... I see a finished picture in my head so I have to get the pose correct do my lights, a certain way. I think most of us do this. Something just clicks in your head. I think I am lucky because I am an artist in RL so it's easier for me to know what I wish the finished picture to be. They don’t always work lol
What advice would you give to new photographers in Second Life?
<b>Tiya: </b>Buy LUMIPro !!!!!!!
I am glad you love it as much as I do! Do you have any photography inspirations in either Second Life or Real Life?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
<b>Tiya: </b>No, but I did mention I am an artist in RL, which is why I love doing pictures In SL. To me, it is an extension of my RL I draw sensual couple pictures and I do portraits. So to be able to alter your avatar into a sensual position or do a great face shot is awesome to me.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I would love to see some of your real-life work sometime! So how about we talk about the hud that brought us together, LUMIPro! How did you hear about LUMIPro, and what made you decide to take the plunge and get the HUD?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
<b>Tiya: </b>My friends were using the LUMIPro while taking pictures ( I was watching them) I was like wow how are you doing all that ( lights etc) so they explained all about the LUMIpro. I was very lucky because a great person I know then went and bought me one for a gift, he had to then teach me how to use it, poor guy, lol
A teacher is definitely helpful. Do you have a favorite LUMIPro feature?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
<b>Tiya: </b>I love you have poses built-in, that's awesome and I love using the projector and the lights. There is so much you can do with the lights, it’s great fun to play around with.
If you could pick a new LUMIPro feature what would it be?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">
<b>Tiya: </b>I would love it if you could fix your hands and body and face via the hud, instead of having to have a different hud on fixing poses. But apart from that, I think it's Perfecto.

<b>Tiya: </b>Well I am called Brat in SL, and I earned that name lol
My friends say I am driven, outspoken and I don't give a crap about what I say, which is correct because I don't lol If you don't want the truth, don't ask me a question, because you may not like my answer. I am very honest and I love nothing more than to help people. I am just me, I've nothing hidden I am an open book... I love nothing more than laughing :)
Last but not least, what are your hopes for your future in Second Life?</span></span></div>

<b>Tiya: </b>I hope every picture I take gets better and better. There are some stunning artists out there and my hopes are that one day I will reach the level that they are at. I still have a long way to go, but hell I am enjoying the journey.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone and happy Friday! I hope you all have had an amazing week thus far. I thought we could start the week off with something fun. This idea was brought to us by one of you, Scarlett Rhea! As we all know sometimes it can be hard to find inspiration for that next picture. So to help we are bringing LUMIPro's Theme Of The Week! Here's how it will work:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each Friday we will announce a new theme. If we have had a theme the previous week we will share some of our favorites with you as well. This isn't about prizes or anything just inspiration and fun! If you would like to participate in the theme of the week just add your photo to <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/lumipro/">LUMIPro's Flickr Group</a> with the LUMIProThemeWeek (If you need help with how to tag a photo just ask.) Oh and don't forget to use LUMIPro in your pictures!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See simple! So here is our first theme:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello everyone! So last night I was hanging out with a friend, and they wanted to know more about LUMIPro. This got me to thinking maybe it was time I share with all of you, who haven't taken the plunge, what LUMIPro can offer...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">LUMIPro is a professional grade lighting tool and yet easy to start using the day you buy it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Create and save your own favorite colors</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have been on SL for almost as long as SL has been around. I have always loved taking pictures as a way to document my life in SL. I have gotten into blogging. I used wind lights, local lights and self made projectors. I found it annoying having to adjust and add multiple projectors, make them bigger/smaller. Getting a butterfly effect on mine or others faces was hard, You had to adjust each small projector just right on each person in a group photo. I got fet up and took to MP. I found LUMIPro. There was the answer to all of My problems. I watched all of the videos the team has. Not only can I use the LUMIPro for myself. I can use it with other people, group photos, items to add to my wardrobe but even locking and making the projector invisible for around my land. You do not even have to have rez rights. You can just wear the included lights and projector right onto your avi and work the HUD as normal, on top of that you can give them to anyone and work it from the HUD. very minimal adjusting and again right from the HUD. I use this daily and would never give it up. The staff are amazing and very helpful and always there to assist you with any questions you have. You will not be disappointed. Well work every last Linden!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well worth the money!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I recently received the Lumipro hud as a gift. I had been putting off buying it because it looks so complicated to use. After watching the video listed at the bottom of hud's MP page I found out exactly how wrong I was. It's so simple and now my pictures look better. Thank you to Stefan Buscaylet for making it and thank you to Lucky for buying it for me!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Excelent</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To be honest the quality of my photographs has increased exponentially since I have Lumi Pro, I never thought I could make good pictures, but with this wonderful HUD I feel more and more happy to have it. It is a great investment.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with the very talented Immylicious Vicious. She is going to be LUMIPro's next featured artist! Her show is scheduled for Monday, August 19th at 7PM SLT. I hope everyone will come to check out her amazing work, but while you wat here is her interview...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited to have the opportunity to interview such an amazing artist! So first question… How did you hear about Second Life, and what got you started? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> I heard about it through a co-worker/friend about 10 years ago. They helped me set up my first avi and took me to hubs where people would chat and hang out. I actually got frustrated right away because I had no idea what I was doing with my avi and where to go and what else to do, so I quit right away. Then something happened to me in RL that made me not want to really socialize in the RL much, so I picked it back up again because I am definitely a social butterfly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember when I first started I think we all have experienced that frustration. What are some of the things that you love about Second Life? What keeps you coming back? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> The first thing I fell in love with in Second Life was the music scene. I had no clue there were dance clubs here, and when someone tp’d me to one I was floored. I never left the rock club scene. In fact, I also DJ. Music is definitely my first and last love.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">You DJ as well? I would love to catch a set sometime! You are definitely one of my favorite photographers. I love your work. What got you started? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> Well I was inspired by many photographers I had been seeing already doing amazing work about 1.5 years ago. The first person I can remember noticing their photos was my bro, Dar. He gave me pointers to get me started and I started to follow the work of so many other wonderful photographers. I actually feel so odd being chosen for a gallery with so many other amazing artists out there that are hundreds of times better than I am.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always said photography is a journey it is not about being the best, but about where you are going. Why do you take photos? Are you trying to say something to the world?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> It really started as an outlet for my anxiety and stress. It still is, but I feel I have less stress and more happy in my life and now I just strive to learn new things and keep improving my work. If there’s any message to the world in my photos, is that if you keep trying and practicing you can improve.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love that! When you decide you want to do a new photo what is your creative process like from start to finish?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> It happens in several different ways really. I could hear a song lyric and spin-off of that, see a meme somewhere and spin-off that, etc. The long way would be thinking of an emotion or situation I’m going through at the moment, trying to find or even make the pose, of course, add the lighting, change graphics and look for the perfect windlight. After all that is to my liking I save and of course, upload it into my editor. And as far as editing goes, I really just play around with things. I have watched a few tutorials on youtube for help and other artsy ideas, but I really learn best by doing. Also, I don’t even use Photoshop, I use Polarr which nobody else seems to use. Uploading to Flickr can be a challenge as well sometimes, finding the perfect title and maybe a song or poem to pair with it. The more I’ve learned, the longer the process is. Unless I’m lucky. My best photo with the most favs on Flickr literally took me five minutes!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will have to try that program. I always like to learn new things. What advice would you give to new photographers in Second Life? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> Try everything. I love seeing and learning new techniques and things to try. Right now I’m in love with overlays for example. Who knows what I’ll find tomorrow. I don’t know about everyone else, but when I look at someone’s portfolio I like to see it all. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> Well, I would notice in situations my avi was not as visible as I liked. I would ask my brother, Dar for his input and he told me about this amazing gadget. I saved up some linden from DJing and was able to purchase it shortly after. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I remember hosting and saving for my LUMIPro as well, lol. Do you have a favorite LUMIPro feature? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> The entire thing is awesome, but I guess I would have to say the projector options.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you could pick a new LUMIPro feature what would it be?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> Hard to say...maybe more poses?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well you know we are always looking for new animators to work with, and you can add your own as well. Thank you for indulging me and talking about LUMIPro. So tell me something else… Maybe share something our readers won’t know. What makes you who you are? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> All of the things I have been through in life. The pains and struggles all have made me the empathetic, social human being I am today. I can only hope that everyone can take their pain and turn it into something beautiful.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">That was beautifully said, and last but not least what are your hopes for your future in Second Life?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Immy:</b> I just want to keep improving on my photos, DJing and having fun with my love, Ajax, and my awesome friends. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a wonderful time getting to know Immylicious! I really do hope we see everyone Friday. Well until then...</span></div>

I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, you have to love that pesky real life. I was chatting with Stefan and Momo and we all decided the best way to get back in the swing of things is with a gallery show! It's exciting though because it's not just going to be one or two artists. It's going to be as many as we can manage! We would love to showcase many different styles and skill levels. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you would like to participate here are the guidelines:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Please don't forget </span><span style="font-size: large;">to have your work displayed in the show</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">you must</span><span style="font-size: large;"> be a LUMIPro user.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Use LUMIPro! We would love to see some of the amazing art you guys create with it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Postprocessing such as Photoshop is welcome but not required.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Each person can submit up to five photos. We can't guarantee we will hang every single one, but we will do what we can. Please make sure each photo is downloadable.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">We will only be accepting photos for the show until July 18, 2019. So hop to it! (Extended to the 19th)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Please submit your photos to LUMIPro's <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/4014724@N24/">Contest Group</a>, and also make sure they follow our <a href="http://lumipro.blogspot.com/p/community-standards.html">content standards</a>.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is no theme so have fun with it! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Gallery shows like this have always been my favorite.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The show will take place on July 21, 2019 (time to be determined).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact one of us in world. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Until next time... Be brave, be bold, be creative, and happy shooting!</span><br />
