Inworld Photography is not new to me. My first encounter
with it was year 2011 when I took MMS 198 - Gaming in Multimedia. Inworld
photography is one of the most popular hobbies in Second Life - a 3D virtual
world used as a venue for online users to socialize, comment and participate to
a variety of activities like building virtual objects used for trading
properties, chatting and inworld photography. This is made up of simple geometric
shapes, Linden Scripting Language which is commonly used to facilitate interaction
between characters and objects.
Inworld photography is an amazing virtual activity. Unlike
real world photography where one is required to go to specific places and set
up necessary equipment SL only requires the online user to create a personal
account and make an avatar as a virtual image of the user. Upon signing in, the
user can manipulate his/her avatar to go to various destinations. Another
good thing it has to offer is that it gives the online user a chance to manipulate
the virtual environment's setting to sunrise, midday and sunset. The avatar can
walk and fly which is helpful in choosing specific angles to capture.
My personal experience on inworld photography is much easier
today compared to my first encounter back in MMS 198 days. Here are some of my
SL screenshots.
