Desktop Friday: The Tenth

Each and every Friday I post a desktop wallpaper for all the Mac users out there. The image is taken using my Canon 350D DSLR. Photography really interests me and this gives me a nice way to showcase some work, while giving readers something for nothing.

The wallpaper is sized at a resoultion of 2560×1600 pixels, big enough to be used on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, so no-one will miss out. No watermark has been applied to the image either, so play nice, I’m trust worthy that no one will steal my work.

Today’s desktop caption is: Sloping Hill

Feel free to leave any comments about this wallpaper below, it’d be nice to get a comment or two from people who decide to use it, have a great weekend, and enjoy!

Download it here.

    Is that an Apple tree? Why is it posted under ‘Apple’.

    It looks like you need a tripod. The shot has a distinctive ‘camera shake’ look. You might want to check out some of the photography communities for pointers before posting more photos.

    I agree with James. It looks like the photo has some blur.

    Also guys, check this out. Glenn was the nzmac.com podcast a couple months ago. Heres the iTMS link:

    I took a quick peek at your work and the photography forum. You asked about a 50mm 1.8 lens for your b-day as you heard it was a really “great lens.” I can’t be bothered to register in the forum so here are my comments. You already have that focal length covered so I wouldn’t bother with it. Also note that a f1.8 lens is hardly “great” under low light conditions or when you want to play with the depth of field. The glass may be slightly better that your zoom-lens with slightly less edge artifacts but (using this image as an example) that isn’t really your problem. I don’t know if the b-day has passed, but to really improve your shots, I’d ask the folks for a tripod and/or a basic photography course. Alternatively, if you are particularly interested in landscapes than take one in composition. Either of these courses (+ a lot of practice) will improve your shots immensely.

    Keep in mind that most of the great landscape shots (and even those in calenders) are still taken with 4×5, 5×7, or 8×10 field cameras + a solid tripod. You may want to take a look at some of the work by Ansel Adams.

    I picked up a tripod over Christmas, but have only used it with my Cricket photography to date.

    I’m still throwing up ideas for my birthday present, it’s on February the 9th.
