1st place
The place where stories and legends comes alive by Inkeri

Joanie: I truly believe you about them living there Erja. A most beautiful cabin and outstanding capture! Good luck :-)

Logun7: Awesome shot Erja!! This is such a pretty place:)

Nikoneer: In the basement working concourse of my office building, where all the offices are located, there is a bulletin board. Right now, as is often the case, a 22x36 inch piece of paper is out there and a "story" has been started. The idea is that as people walk by they write in each next sentence. It works best when there is an image to stimulate their creative juices. This photo of yours is that kind of image, with all the elements needed to create a story just by studying the image. Perhaps that would be a good thread? An interesting image like this one that visitors to the thread could leave a sentence or two and thereby collectively write a short story. And to think your photo started it. 8D

(btw - good luck in the contest)

You might be aware of the information contained in the following linked vid tutorial. If not, well grab a cuppa and have a look/listen..

Night street [16:51]


In and around the 5:33 mark in.. adding/adjusting light to light standards:

And a note on selective use of Volumetric light(ing) later on.


Couple of keyboard shortcuts noted as well, with respect to duplicating placement of objects, etc.. Viewed a few other vids on Geekatplay Studio- "Light In Vue Tutorials". Good good stuff? Maybe?

I am curious if you tried or thought of post processing your render in Photoshop. My pea brain immediately thought of using the Diffuse Glow filter for the fairies and that of the girl/woman. Just a thought.
