  Thanks, Matty. I'll try the LL viewer, plus I'm going to give black dragon a try. BTW, I've posted photos with a resolution higher than 1024x768 to the profile feed for years with no issue. There does seem to be an upper limit. I couldn't post a 4K image, for instance, but it handles standard hi-res, 1920x1080, fine.

  Here's mine. Not quite 10 years, yet, but it's coming in October. That's actually me on my first day in sl. : )

  Since your brought up FOV... This is an old article I wrote on simulating lenses using phototools in FS. It might be useful. Kultivate has let their site go a little, but the info is still there. https://kultivatemagazine.com/2016/07/25/sl-photography-simulating-popular-lenses-in-phototools/ Sorry, if it sidetracks the lighting discussion. : )
  I think there's a lot to learn from rl techniques. In my opinion, it's not moot. Real life techniques are relevant to sl. It's a virtual world that emulates rl, not perfectly, but you can get some very realistic results. Anyway, I was just adding to the conversation. It's meant to broaden the topic, nothing more. I'm only suggesting another way to light your photos. And I use single point lighting all the time; it seems to work for me. At the least, try using a projector.
  Great post, Alyona. Very informative. I thought I'd add a couple of extra thoughts. In real life, most portrait photographers only use one key light. Annie Leibovitz, for example, typically only uses one key light. There's a nice article about it, called Lighting Like Leibovitz: The One Light Challenge, here. Cindy Sherman tends to use only the one light, too, and Nan Goldin is mostly a natural light photographer (I bet she'd love to be able to manipulate the sun like we do with windlights.). So I'd recommend starting with just one light to even out the shadows, especially for portra

  Not sure if this is the solution to your problem... Try using your camera controls to save your camera position. that will help a lot. bring up you FS cameratools with ctrl+shift+C. Use the down arrow to save the camera position, then the up arrow to recall the saved position

  Goodbye, LEA. On a personal note, I got my creative start at a LEA sim. There was a LEA sponsored sim called Medici University that was a gathering of artists. I wasn't one, but I dj'ed there and started getting interested in photography, which started spurred me to learn more. Since then, I've taken hundreds of photos and made many of my own builds in SL. The LEA sandbox, where I'm standing in this photo, was a fabulous place to build. I learned tons from other people building there and saw some incredible builds. I'm going to really miss the sandbox. It was just such a great place
