Desktops

On A Cold Night

I posted this image on its own a while back and I had a couple of requests to turn it into a desktop. The only trouble with that is that the original image was shot vertically and desktops are a horizontal affair. I have been thinking about it for a while and decided to photoshop in some extra length in the image to make it work as a desktop. The DOF is a bit to shallow because I didn’t give it more that one snap of my shutter or thought but I won’t worry about it too much. I think it turned out well for the most part and I hope you guys enjoy it. The image was taken in Munich while wandering around one afternoon. It caught my eye at first because it was in english and then kept my attention when I read what it said. Random bits of wisdom on a streetlight, such a lovely thing.

To download the desktop image simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the zip file and please respect the terms of use and only use it for your desktop wallpaper and not for anything commercial unless you ask first, thanks and enjoy!

    This is great. I loved the previous shot of the image, but making it into a wallpaper is great. I could finally make this my desktop wallie over at my office. Keeps me sanely and emotionally unattached to overtime work. Haha.

    Great work, Cheers!

    A great photograph and a wonderful quote. I wonder how many people realize it’s from Marilyn Monroe? Cheers! james

I ask that you refrain from using any images found on fiftyfootshadows.net to create physically printed material of any kind. This includes posters, photographic prints, fliers, etc. Under no circumstances may you make a physical reproduction without written permission.

These rules also apply for any artwork or imagery submitted and shown within this site which was created by an artist aside from myself. Any images submitted and shared as wallpapers are the property of the artist who created them and in the same manner as my images, you are asked to receive permission before using them in any way aside from their intended use. Any use of these images outside of for your own personal use as a desktop wallpaper image is prohibited without permission from the author of the image. Commercial licensing is available upon request. Please write with any inquiries.

When sharing images via your personal blogs I kindly ask that you link back directly to either the post the image was taken from or the base of the website at www.fiftyfootshadows.net and give a credit to www.fiftyfootshadows.net. Do not re-post full resolution desktop images anywhere without permission. If you would like to use an image for your blog background or something of the sort simply write to ask first. Support the artwork you admire! Also, it is greatly appreciated if you do NOT link directly to the zip files. This is more or less the same as re-posting them as it circumvents the tiny bit of support I ask of you which is to simply link back to the original post for others to enjoy the site.

It’s not fair to artists if you do not credit their work and link back to the original content creator. It is theft plain and simple and blogs that attempt to somehow be mysterious by not giving credit to the creators are simply hurting the artistic community as a whole. If you love it so much then please, support it! The artistic community on the Internet is based on trust. Without trust then what do we have? are you going to be one of the responsible users out there or will you be among the bottom feeders, stealing content and passing it off as your own to make a quick buck in ad sales.

Use your best judgement and we will get along just fine.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
