Something else new for everyone. Sure sure, it’t trash in a lake but look how beautiful it is. It was hard to believe how still the lake was that day with just the smallest breeze to give it a tiny bit of texture. Something about this tire there in that moment just seemed perfect with the reflection of the blue/grey sky cast onto the water from the light just after the sunset. I realize the first couple are really similar but I have always liked giving everyone different options when I can because everyone has slightly different taste I know. I thought of altering the saturation a bit or lightening them up but decided I liked them this way, straight out of the camera. and cropped.

I’m not entirely sure what I think of these. I wanted to like them but they are not quite what I wanted to capture. Still, I thought I could use a couple of new desktops around and these were there waiting in line so here they are. When I was shooting these, I was sticking my 5d down into the water, just above its surface and moving it up and down along with the waves to try to capture this sort of inside the wave thing but one of the times I was a bit off and the water jumped up on me suddenly and splashed into the camera getting it all wet. Because it was so unbelievably hot that day it dried off pretty quick after a couple of shakes and a few minutes time. Not the first time I have dunked a camera into water accidentally..

I was about to start taking these negatives out of their protective sleeves and cut them up to examine, scan, and store them when I noticed how nice they all looked there bundled together on the light table so I did the only logical thing, pulled out my 5D and shot a few images. After posting one to flickr I realized they would probably make for good desktop fodder so here they are all trimmed up to desktop size and ready for consumption by all of my fine readers out there in the world. Also, you can expect a couple of posts in the future with a number of film images from these rolls, got some really wonderful shots among these.

My Window
Should I make this bottom one here a desktop? I spun around in my chair after the sun had set and was graced with this wonderful subtle light peaking through my window this evening so I pulled out the 5D and was lucky enough that it was not darker yet so I didn’t have to deal with the tripod. I already have a desktop of these cutouts in my window but the sunset just made this too nice to pass up a shot. I hope this streak of shooting on a more regular basis keeps up. I never tire of the sound of a shutter.
UPDATE: Click or right click here for the desktop of the bottom image and enjoy !
UPDATE TWO: I have added the first image as well in the zip so simply re-download it if you would like that one as well.

Shot these recently of an old light from a bank that glows a dull blue and has hand painted lettering on a sheet of glass in the middle of it. I’m not sure what the target audience these would have as desktops but it was a fun subject to shoot and they are kind of neat looking and moody so I figured why not post them, what else would I do with these anyhow. They are all straight out of the camera, only cropping here.

I Write The B-Sides
Three new vinyl inspired desktops, I had just listened to this album (Here We Go Magic – s/t, wonderful album!) and as it was en route to being back in its sleeve the light from the windows in the room hit it just right and these images just sort of made themselves really. After messing with a few different angles and focusing ideas I came up with these three, I hope you enjoy them!
To download these in their true full size desktop form simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to grab a zip containing all three images. Inside the zip you will also see a text file with the basic terms of use that state these are not for any commercial use without my permission. Some of you may wonder why I use zips rather than simply linking to full size jpgs and the reason is simply that it allows me to avoid people hot linking the large files as the backgrounds to their webpages and the like eating my bandwidth in the process, and it allows for a nice organized storage method as well as a nice way to subtly make the terms of use seen every time. Its an approach that has worked for a long time now.. Anyway, enjoy the desktops and I will talk to you next time!

I am not too happy with these in their larger sizes because they really are not nearly as sharp as I would want them to be but it is what it is and the need for some new desktops around here outweighs my gripes with my own images. These are film images shot with my Bessa R3M which I have really enjoyed using. Hopefully the slightly blurred appearance of these wont annoy to many of you. The last one here is the one that is the worst of the three because it was actually pretty dark outside at the time and I was shooting handheld at a moderately low shutter speed and and and… Sorry, I am breaking my own rule about talking down about my own work on the site. I hear you should always stay away from self destructive comments but here it is and its that kind of day.
I hope to get out and shoot the remainder of the 120 roll I have loaded and get it developed today or tomorrow but well see how that goes, I also have a roll of 50ISO slide film that I am shooting through a little too quickly but hope to get some good shots out of all the same. In other words, I hope to share more new photos with everyone here soon.
Now, for the desktop versions of these images. Hopefully everyone at least glanced through the text here enough to read this and see that to get the full resolution versions of these as desktops you need to CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE and save the zip file containing the three images above.

Reel To Reel
A new series of desktops for everyone, mainly those of you with any interest in recording I suppose. Simply some shots I snagged at a friends home studio setup in the light of a grey morning coming in through the window. I know a couple are pretty similar but sometimes I just like to give you all options because I know how picky the people of the world can be.
The Images above are not the full resolution desktops! To download them simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the four you see above in a convenient zip file.
