"This image was inspired by the desolation of the small cluster of houses near the rice paddies in Virgin Island 4," writes Gahum, who did some re-touching of the image in Photoshop ("mostly changing the levels to darken it a bit, and increasing the color balance of the shadows with more blue"), though the look was mostly achieved through an artificial WindLight pre-set. ""Blizzard" is my favorite atmosphere setting since it reminds me of many eerie foggy central California days," says Gahum, "so I used it here. It added a rather mysterious and desolate feel to that spot in the sim." To see Virgin Island for yourself, click this direct SLURL teleport link.

Submitting to New World Tableau:
New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image.
- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place
here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail ([email protected]) me the link. Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size.
- Submission tip: I regularly check the SL screenshot stream of New World Notes partner Koinup, an MMO social network-- consider creating an account there.
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the
Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.)
-
Moderately Photoshopped
images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were
added. (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special
element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
-
If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run
it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC
licensed. The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any
case.
