Photobombed while streaming Second Life
If you’re following me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have noticed my updates a few minutes before I started streaming Second Life live on my Youtube Gaming channel.
I planned to share photography tips last night while I streamed, but after watching it this morning I realized it didn’t go as well as I had planned. I missed several things that I wanted to cover such as my graphics settings and more details about adjusting windlight. So I plan to do another session covering more in-depth photography tips very soon, perhaps later this week or early next week. I’ll announce it on my Twitter and Facebook once I decide.
I also had some technical difficulties for the first 1 minute and 30 seconds so I suggest you jump to that spot if you plan to watch last night’s video. Also, one important thing I forgot to mention while I was streaming last night is if you use ctrl-0 to zoom in, you can then use ctrl-9 to go back to your regular view.
While I was streaming I got photobombed by the talented Mr. Jackson Redstar. He hopped over to the sim I was at and started dancing behind me. You can him see close to the end of the video. I loved his avatar so I quickly grabbed a photo of him when he stood beside me. He captured a great pic of us as well and posted it on his flickr. Thank you Jackson for watching and participating! I was quite nervous while streaming for the first time so it really helped me relax and enjoy it more.
I also enjoyed chatting with you guys while I was streaming. You can click over to my live page see last night’s chat.
Here is the video of the stream now uploaded to youtube: https://youtu.be/67Wh0pTNXsw?t=1m30s
I asked you guys to share what else you’d like to see me stream and I’ve gotten requests for more photo tips, which I will do, but also a few of you have asked me to do a tutorial on how to actually go about streaming yourselves. I am still in the process of learning and figuring it all out as I go along, so I will for sure try and do a tutorial a little later once I get a better hang of it myself.
Some other streams you should watch out for on YouTube Gaming:
> Second Life category on YouTube Gaming – find more live SL streamers
> Second Life Channel – maybe Linden Lab will start live streaming?
> Anya Ohmai’s stream – she’s giving live Zbrush lessons!
> LiftedPixel by Jessyka Richard – she streams quite often for hours at a time.
> Draxtor Despres – he’s been promising that he will start streaming soon!

Great post , thank you !
For a first attempt, last night’s stream was pretty fun and I did actually learn something new. Or rather was reminded of something I’m often too impatient to mess with so thank you! I look forward to more broadcasts 🙂
There is also a second life football league that streams weekend nights usually at 6 SLT. http://www.hitbox.tv/uflstream/videos
Thank you so much for this vid, very helpful, and thanks for the ctrl 9 mention too (I couldnt find it and was stuck with zoom lol)
Jackson is talented indeed. He was the winner of the 2014 Oscar Fashion Photo Contest — and he played both the man and the woman!
You did a good job, Berry, and I’ll be looking forward to more from you.
Thank you all for the encouragement. I will definitely try to do more live streaming very soon.
Thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial. In the video, your camera movements were so smooth – I use the camera control and my movements are always very ‘jerky’, especially up close to my avatar. How are you able to shift and rotate so precisely?
Hi Darren, I press the ctrl and alt buttons on my keyboard at the same time and then I left-click on my mouse to rotate and navigate my screen inworld. All three at the same time, hope that helps!
Hi, really enjoyed your Photo Tips YouTube videos… just one possibly silly question… I have saved a new Windlight Sky Preset but then cant find it in the drop down list..???…The drop down list doesnt seem to be completely alphabetical???… eg a lower case “grey..” one near the end…any info much appreciated…SL Wirimu Dale
Hi, just checked in FireStorm-Windlight Phototools and they showed up at the top of the drop down list… It must take awhile to update or something….Rgds…Wirimu Dale SL
