Photo-Op on SLDiscovery.com is a semi-regular feature that puts the spotlight on a Second Life spot that makes for a cool place at which to take photos inworld. Not an entire sim, not even a complete parcel, but just a single specific location - a spot.

Today's Photo-Op is going to give you a chance to look at your avatar and its surroundings a little differently, so I hope you're ready for some adventure! You probably have already heard of Ozimals; their animated bunnehs are one of the current inworld crazes. But did you know the Ozimals sim has a lot more than wild bunnehs? It actually has (along with the adjoining Magic Of Oz sim) several different areas of various themes, and the spot we're interested in today is a kind of mushroom forest found at 142/45.

It is seriously too much fun taking pictures of your avatar around this spot. Every direction you turn offers a new mushroom-filled vista. I'd go so far as to say you can't take a *bad* picture here. Well okay, maybe you can, but you'd have to work at it.

The mushroom environment takes very well to Windlight extremes. And you can have a heap of fun in your paint program as well. Your avatar is going to look great here, nearly automatically. You'll see!

What do you mean "what avatar?" There I am - I'm standing right up front in each of these pictures. Look Ma, that's me! :D 

Sure, you can don your usual human or anthro appearance here, wearing something appropriate like a ballroom tuxedo or -- well, something appropriate. But better yet, you can be one of the mushrooms yourself and express your inner fungus!

Just teleport on over to Yoa Ogee's Tiny Shop where you'll find a choice of three different types of mushroom avatars to suit your personality. Pick one or pick them all. They're free, so you can afford to splurge a little.

Then enjoy your new avatar. You'll have cute little roots-feet and a friendly typing animation.

When you have become one with the mushroom, head over to Ozimals mushroom forest, fiddle around with those Windlight settings, and start snapping some very cool pics!

You're bound to get some pleasing images. But be cautious because after a while, you may find yourself having a craving for tomato sauce...or ranch dressing...!

You like this outfit? You can get it for a song, the shirt along with the matching pants. RFyre is holding their annual retirement sale at the mainstore, and there are many marked-down treasures to find here. Prices have been cut in half or more.
