Hyperlinks on Flicker

Soooo... I've been struggling to start this blog, you know, so it's perfect, and decided this morning to just dive right in with a simple tip that I use all the time and share as much as possible... 


Hyperlinks on Flicker!



This is a very aesthetic way to share more info or direct people to a more detailed location when blogging, sharing, presenting the partner on your shot, link a song to create a mood or meaning to a photograph... so very useful!


There are two ways I know how to do it, the first one is a simple formula : 


<a href="ADDRESS HERE">HYPERLINK HERE</a>


You replace ADDRESS HERE by the adress you want to share, for example 


<a href="https://alwaysyourbestshot.blogspot.com/ ">WORD TO CLIC HERE</a>


And then replace WORD TO CLIC HERE by the word you use in text that will be highlighted to direct viewers to the new place... 


<a href="https://alwaysyourbestshot.blogspot.com/ ">Sherlyn's Photo Blog!</a>


Once you clic done, it'll look like this on Flickr: 



It can be one word or a little bit of text. It can even be cute symbols! ♫ ♡... 

Just make sure that the symbols you want is compatible with Flickr, though!!! Sometimes they are not fitting and it'll just cut your text, or appear as a weird square or something... 

I keep a Word document with a bunch of symbols I use often, as well as some links, but you can also fave a website on your browser, or google it each time too, of course!



That said, I said there was another way, the lazy way as i call it! 


So in Flickr (on pc, not sure about on the phone you use...), you only add the address :

Then you hit done. 


But that is not cute nor inspiring!!! 

Go back in the description and the formula is made for you! 


You only need to replace the second part! 


And it'll look like this: 



It works the same way for the links in the About section too, so if you want to share other medias, your favorite playlists, your best photo partner, your.... Go nuts! 



The trick is to play and repeat, it'll become second nature! 

Have fun!

cam -VS- zoom

Image
  This is my favorite tip EVER! It comes from Xavier , an amazing RL and SL photographer who you might know inworld. (He also introduced me to Sunny's!)  This little trick gave me so much control over my photos and made it way more fun to do some shots that looked much better, so easily:  Learn to play with both your camera distance and the zoom! Obviously if you use the Camera controls, maybe you already do...  But if you are like me, always camming with Alt and mouse, you might not have a perfect understanding on the difference between the distance and zoom or how to do each one. Distance is pretty simple, you move closer, you move away... But when doing this, just like your eyes, the camera will distort your image, as the perspective changes with a different point of view. That's what happens when you want to do a beautiful closeup and you have such a different face you rather back away! See the nose is much bigger and the shoulders look very narrow. It looks like...

Fix for SL alpha glitches!!!

Image
  It happened to all of us... The perfect expression, perfect angle, the light hits beautifully on your avatar.... And the gorgeous bangs hide your lashes!!!! Not cause they're behind it, but because of the alpha surrounding the hair, glitching on cam like only SL can do!!!  Now I don't claim to own the best tip or even a tip that might work every single time... But I did use this technique to fix hair glitches fairly easily and even switch only one foot's position out of two (before they could be positioned separately) (...or before I knew they could??) and it does the trick pretty well so I want to share it with you!!!  This will seem too easy, but you need to plan ahead a little... So when you go to take your wonderful shot and notice this nasty alpha glitch, still take it! And then Re-Take, without hair! How can this help, you say? Well you can use the bald version as a corrective layer to your photo! put one above the other and erase slightly until you get the desire...
