Love that District Mine wallpaper!

That is a good one. I used it for a while on my netbook. Too bad you have to pay for the high res versions.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Yeah, I hate that you have to pay for high res for it. I've been thinking of just making a vectored version of it in illustrator so I can get any resolution I want.

Here is a slightly higher resolution of a similar one

Been going with this one for a while.

Spoiler: Mildly NSFW, but pretty nice IMO

My current bg is low resolution, but I love it too much to care.

Toys in a journey through the Jungle! With an elephant! And Giant Donuts!

Thank you Allen, that is now my wallpaper here at work.

Finishing Portal 2 put me in the mood for a desktop change.

And for my Droid:

I took this pic when Tin and I were traveling to our new home in Virginia a couple of weeks ago!

Wallpaper for this summer, of one of the SZS girls.

It becomes balanced once you add the ever-present IRC screen.

Just generic wallpaper here. Never see my desktop, so never saw a reason to bother.

I'm touched Jelly

I have made a rotation of about 30 of this guy's photos: http://stuckincustoms.smugmug.com/

For those of you with Google+, I highly recommend following him, his name is Trey Ratcliff and, well, the photos speak for themselves: https://plus.google.com/105237212888595777019/posts

Holy HDR, Batman. He actually uses it to pretty good effect, but man, I'm tired of seeing it.

Pluck out your eyes, then. They are HDR after all, and simply looking around the room gives the same effect...

 

[drifter]

Only if you're on acid

(The way HDR is generally abused, that is)

 

[strawman]

Very, very true. Too many aspiring photographers use HDR as a means to make their photos pop, rather than a means to bring up the detail in the shadows and highlights.

Apparently he was the first photographer to have an HDR photo in the Smithsonian, which is pretty cool. I only recently learned what HDR photography is, so while I've probably seen it, I haven't really 'realized' what I was looking at and don't feel overexposed to it. I really love his stuff. Picking out 30 favourites was fun, and it gives me a nice variety on my desktop.

 

[drifter]

Yeah, when I first learned about HDR I was all 'FUCK THIS IS AAAAWESOME!' After you've seen your hundredth glowing building, though, the magic tends to subside.

 

[strawman]

but.... GLOWING BUILDING!



Also, HDR videos are already being created:
