From Japan to SL

Visited Green Story to take pictures of Aurora. This is ever changing. It is a kind of challenge to express the dynamic figure within still pictures. I set the camera angle and framing, then kept waiting patiently. But often there were spectacles out of the camera, or when shooting it, the avatar posture was not suitable…

There are many photos and movies of real Aurora in the net, so I tried to shoot realistic ones. The sun position is Midnight.




I have a misty memory to have seen real Aurora when I was very young. I think my father woke me up on an airplane to watch the Aurora. I remember that was a huge white curtain along the flying plane. This could be the closest one.




I wondered what kind of clothing is suitable for Aurora shooting, but it is not cold in SL and it is summer now, I stayed with the casual wear. This could be a typical SL photo though. Together with reindeer. The Aurora comes in at low close to the horizon, not over my head. The white dots are not star but falling snow. There was snowstorm at some place.




Since there is not enough sense of distance, it is sad that I cannot feel the spaciousness. It looks like bush fire depending on the angle. Standing in a bush I was afraid that the fire might come to me. I wish I could see the real one once more.




I have been searching and finally found a free mesh head that I can use, and changed my shape for the first time in twelve years. But nobody mentioned about it for two months. It is sad that there is no one who pays attention to my face… Last week, I went to the Baba dance area with a mask on my face that was set backward. Finally, someone noticed it.
