Kee launched a new initiative......... the Windmill Project.....

"I've noticed that Second Life has a lot of nice windmills. And since I like windmills, I've started shooting them" told Kee

Kee invited all of you to jump in SL, look for windmills, take photos and share them (and also the slurls) on Koinup

Go around, pose your eyes on every sl windmill and come back here...

post the windmill photo, add the tag: windmillproject

and check it out the pool here:

You know, I love to share landmarks and locations......and....uhm...

because of that me and Edo (the tech-side of koinup)
we have launched the PLACES SECTIONS

So here's is my first editorial suggestion for new awesome SL places to visit:
koinup.com/sim/Orkney/
koinup.com/sim/akashic/
koinup.com/sim/Tompson/

Have a look there or browse others sims here:
koinup.com/sims/in-second-life/

and then share postcards / or... btw....try to discover new place and be the first to share the slurls on Koinup

Discoverers will be featured on the "place front pag"e and have a lot of visibility!

dear friends, I wanna direct your attentions to some excellent photoshop tutorials created by our common friend Ji_Dallagio

I think you should have a look at them, because most probably they will help you a lot

First Tutorial: Working on Layers
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55124/as-list/

Second Tutorial: Blending and changing colors
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55340/as-list/

Third Tutorial: Extract Images from their currect backgrounds
koinup.com/Ji_Dallagio/work/55480/as-list/

Thanks Ji!
These tutorials are not about Second Life or some other worlds, but are about Photoshop and Postprocessing, so I think that most of you can be really interested!

I invite other members to share their tecniques and create tutorials using the storyboard tool! I'll give to each tutorial the maximum of visibility in order to help the whole community! Enjoy Koinup!

Ji_Dallagio and Antonella launched a project; it is called: Pileup!

Antonella posted a raw untouched screenshot:

koinup.com/antonella/work/53531/

Every Koinup Member is invited to edit, postprocess, change it and explain what he/she has done to get to his/her image

You can save the Antonella Image on your Pc and start your experiments!

When you have created your own version, please upload on Koinup and add the tag: pileup

All Pictures will be available here:
koinup.com/works/tag/pileup/

The goal is to discuss together about our style, approachs and have fun in a collaborative project!

(This game is not restricted to Second Life, I would love to see participants from different worlds, gilds, games and style)

Pan, Trixi and other cool guys have launched a new Community Project.....

I don't know how to call it.....lets try with:

"One Place, Many Eyes"......

Anyway, this is the project:

One member take a photo in a place and other people follow, taking other pics of the same subject......

Pan has just started with this splendid photo settled in the JadeForest
koinup.com/PANTELEIMON-AEON/work/53258/

This is the slurl, TP there, take a lot of snaps:
slurl.com/secondlife/Straylight/186/53/25

And post your takes on Koinup

Remember to add the tag:
jadeforest

so that each takes on it, will be visible here:
koinup.com/works/tag/jadeforest/

(if you want get constructive comments on the work, add the tag:
review and enter the Mentor Project )

Just I wanna give my support to one idea of Pan!

The idea is this:

Each participant take a photo of the same subject. Eachone tag the photo in the same manner and then, we all discuss together about our attempts, showing different styles, approach, etc.....

I choose the main landscape of Africa:
koinup.com/pier/work/52573/

Its a great sim and if you want you can go on with this subject and do your take with it!

please, add the tag : virtualafrica
to your attempt

moreover, if you want to receive constructive comments from mentor, remember to add also the tag: review

lets go, tp in Africa!

ps: This game is for SL people, but I invite my friends from other virtual worlds to make similar games on their own

Dear friends
The awesome Trixibelle had a great idea ....

It is called “Mentors Project” and it works this way:

Are you a beginner in photography or machinima? Are you making art experiments and would you love to receive constructive comments from the most skilled Koinup members?

Great! This project is for you!
Add the tag: review
to all your works you wanna be reviewed from the pool of mentors and they will review and make a deep analysis of them!

Is there a better way to improve and become an artist?

Right now, the group of mentors is made up by:
Ji Dallagio, Rhondita, Bbea, Zeppy, Don Hosho, MightyP, Angel-Ronmark and Eves

(soon, you will see the mentors here: koinup.com/people/?q=mentor )

If you wanna be a mentor, please add the tag: mentor
to your profile and add other tags for the fields you are an expert (photoshop, windlight, machinima, second life, imvu, etc)

If you wanna a constructive comment, tag your work with: review


Mentors will periodically browse all the works, tagged with: review
here: koinup.com/works/tag/review/

once the constructive comment has been posted, mentor can add the tag:
tutorial on that work



Please, spread out this message and broadcast it, too yourself!
