Got a little Captain in you?
Black Spot is a pirate lover’s dream. Gorgeous and intricately made ships can be found here for purchase as well as other sundries. But as usual, I prefer sims that don’t overtly hawk items and Black Spot is one of those sims. It offers some amazing vistas and beautiful water. Lots of dramatic scenes and mood to be found here. It begs for exploration, and you will be rewarded if you do. There are interactive rides and hidden passages leading to…..? You should find out! I’m once again awed by another’s creative talents…this time by Lia Woodget, creator of Black Spot. I really can’t say enough about her amazing creation…other than its on my MUST SEE list! Hmmm…I fully expect to see Johnnie Depp in full pirate gear any minute now. Not that that’s a bad thing 
TIP: I don’t use photoshop in my pics…mainly because I want you all to see the images as I see them. But also because I’m photoshop illiterate! (Anybody wanna school me?) But I did play with the windlight settings as seen in the pics above. I was afraid to do this, but I’m over it now. It won’t mess up your settings! You can always go back to default. But if you click world tab on the top of the screen, then environment settings then environment editor, then advanced sky (whew), then at the top in that box find sky presets…just click any or all of those for some amazing tweaks to your screen shots. It’s lots of fun! And can really create a mood – spooky, sunny, alien…whatever look you want, you can create it. Try it and have some fun!
***Note: It appears that the 100 or so sky presets are only available with the Emerald viewer. The Linden Lab viewer has presets too, but only about 15 or so. I gotta say, I’m loving the Emerald viewer. Lots of fun options and I don’t see any downsides so far. Here’s the link to download the Emerald viewer if you’d like to try it:

There are two parts to download:
1. GreenLife_Proprietary_Pack_Voice-Support-FPS-Boost.exe
2. GreenLifeSetup_1-23-673(Optimized).exe
This was a very painless and problem free download for me. Best of luck!
***I just found that you can have hundreds of sky presets with the LL viewer. Just download them from the LL website via Torley’s post: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/WindLight_settings
