I'm curious, with all the great photos that I've seen here, what photo
(of yours) do you use for the wallpaper on your computer.

I flip back and forth, but for the last month it has been these.
These are the pbase pics with frames, the ones I use on the computer
are frameless.

ChrisJ · June 13, 2005

Sakura in the springtime. Tokyo, Japan.

I like the sunset/sunrise. That more or less one color to find the icons
easly works good for me.
I don't think I've ever seen a white spider before. Do you know what kind it is?

It's a nice pic, but I think I'd have trouble finding the icons.
Thanks for joining in.

I really like both of these. The IR shot is fantastic.
Is that Gold, or Fools Gold?

Higgmeister · June 13, 2005

That's real gold from Central Nevada
I shot this with my V3 and a reversed 50mm. I need to re-shoot and stack them to bring the whole think into focus. I only wish it wasn't a macro shot:D. I have to say the IR shot is easier on the eyes for a desktop...but gold is so good to look at

.

I think your second one would be the easiest to find icons on, but it's obvious from my desktop shots that ease of finding icons is of secondary importance.

Thanks for the comments,
Chris

Yeah, that's what I thought too before I started using it. Didn't bother me, and I like how it looks on the 2nd monitor when it's otherwise empty. Here's another more icon-friendly one:

Whale Shark - Exmouth, Australia

Not the crispest... taken with a cheapy disposable. Makes a good background, though.

That's a wonderful shot. The colors are very complementary

. It looks like that's the tip of a screwdriver, is it?

I am a space nut, and for over a year now I have not been able to use anything but this:

It thrills me when I see it. Fantasy and potential all rolled up into one photo.

Higgmeister · June 14, 2005

Hi Jules,
That's gotta be one of the easiest on the eyes for a wallpaper. Nice selection

Thanks Higgy,

That's exactly why I use it. My Icons fit easily around the edge and it doesn't pull my eyes to it unless I choose. I also drive a gray car that doesn't get tickets (too much).

Cheers

These are all great pics. I think WaterfallRich has the most original so far.
Come on folks, I know you have a pic on your desktop, show us what you got.

After seeing this I had to go to your gallery to see what else you came up with ...Very nice

Sometimes I think I am the only one on this forum without creativity

Thanks
