Crystal Grotto

February 12, 2023Emeraldmist NightfireLeave a comment

I was doing the Sword and Sorcery Hunt and got distracted while at Cerridwen’s Cauldron. Since I can’t resist things that are emerald green, I took the teleporter to the Emerald Lounge. I found this gorgeous crop of crystals. I still have to go back and find the hunt prize item, but this delightful spot made me stop for awhile, just to enjoy the beauty.

I found this lovely little bakery on the Butter sim. I did extensive lighting and focus adjustments in-world. It was then post-processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

I took this shot at the Butter Cafe, using some basic in-world lighting. Then I post-processed in Photoshop, using neural filters and gradients.

This post was inspired by something in real life. My favorite breakfast spot has a living wall near the entrance. I came across a living wall for sale in SL and knew I had to do something with it. I created this tableau using just a few of the green things in my inventory. I collect green things! The bunny is there because I have a thing for bunnies :).

Love the Beach, Hate the Sand

I really need to work on my inventory, but here I am sweeping sand off my deck again. I love living on the beach but the sand is a pain in my castle!

Head — Lelutka — Chloe
Body — Maitreya
Skin — Pink Fuel — Anja II, apricot
Hair — Wasabi — Edie
Dress — !gO! — Rachel Apron Dress. This was a gacha prize, 75L
Pose — Lorien — Sweep Chore Broom, Take a Rest. 60L on Marketplace. Adjusted slightly with Animare

- Note on lighting: I loved the shadows in Epi Vintage but it has a yellowish caste, as do many of the Windlight settings. I countered this with a blue filter in Photoshop to bring out truer tones.
