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. These are here for your personal enjoyment and are not to be used with your commercial money making whatever without my permission please, I love supplying the world with some interesting things to fill their computer screens free but I have to keep an eye on such activities so thanks for your understanding on that. More information found in the terms of use inside of the zip file. Thanks and enjoy!

    hmm, im not happy with the compression of the jpgs in the previews here.. eh, so it goes, the larger files look better. Its the shadows and subtle variations of color that get so weird in digital photography.. long live film.

    Long live film. I am about to buy my first film camera (that actually works…) next month. Trying to catch a Olympus XA2 or Canonet.

    Thanks for the desktops! Fantastic scene.

    Florian, nice! I hope you enjoy it, the XA line is great and reliable while the canonets take amazing photos but have a lot more technical issues, I have had two go bad on me. But if you can get a nice working one they are wonderful!

    Unzipping requires a password??

  7. john - September 1, 2009 at 5:27 pm

    Linus, hmm, no there should not be any need for a password, maybe leave the field blank and see what happens? sorry about that, not sure what the reason could be. let me know if you have further problems and ill see what i can do to help :)

    I love this, I love the color you were able to capture. Was most of it just the natural light coming in or did you add some processing in post?

  9. john - February 25, 2010 at 2:53 pm

    Phil, thanks! The color is simply from the soft light coming through the window in the room, shades were drawn so it was a well dispersed along the wall. I do my best to use as little post as I can manage, unless of course I feel it helps the image in some grand way :)

    I love the look of these Technics machines. Whoever appreciates these will also likely appreciate this illustration of a Revox B77;

Any use of these images for any purpose other than this is a violation of these terms and anyone found using said images will be asked to either compensate the creator for doing so or be asked to stop using them immediately.

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!
