During part two of his color class, Zephyru Zapedzki rezzed some of his favorite paintings and photographs in order to support his explanation. To make it fun, he asked the audience who was the painter and the name of the work. The reaction was pretty good: avatars had fun trying to be the first to answer.

Join us this coming Tuesday 23rd of June at 11.00am SLT in the Orange Island Photo Gallery for the third part of the class based on RL Photography Theory ‘Colors in Second Life’ by Zephyru Zapedzki.
Last session was focused on colors in art, photography and SL. We travelled through art history and rediscovered some masterpieces. I totally liked it. I think we should have an Art Trivia some time. For those of you who missed the last class, you can have a look at the transcript.
This week, Zeph will digg deeper by showing us how to use colors in the environment editor and post-processing tools. You can read more about our color teacher on the first blogpost.
Photo Sessions are events dedicated to help photographers share and collaborate. Orange Island and Koinup partner to make instructive classes for SL Photographers and especially the Second Life Comunity on Koinup.
This week, the Meta-Metaverse music tour is at the Brandenburg Gate, in the virtual Berlin of Twinity. It’s the last time that Dizzy Banjo, Grace McDunnough, Slim Warrior and Doubledown Tandino are performing for Rocking the Metaverse. There’s quite a few people here, and Grace is just starting her set. You still have time to go to Twinity’s website and create a account. Once you’re done, just follow this link to the gig!
Fab Outlander and I were invited in Chantal Harvey’s film studio to discuss her past and upcoming projects. With over 140 machinimas under her belt, Chantal is what you could call a pro machinimatographer. We had a fun time talking about and watching films on her giant screen. Below are the highlights of our long chat.
The photography class of Thursday was awesome. The gallery was full of attentive avatars. Zephyru used a lot of examples to support his class. For those of you who couldn’t attend, the essential of the talk is after the jump. Also, check out the photos on Koinup.
