On the moon

Well I did say earlier (a long long time ago), that I was a capable wallpaper photographer :p. The fact remains that I need to be under the influence to click them. That's when the creativity flows. Some people might disagree, but the fact remains...

To be a good wallpaper guy, one needs to see the micro side of stuff. It's pretty simple really. The way one goes around doing that is by seeing things minutely. That means that you take a macro scene and recognise a small part (if you are lucky) or the whole thing (if you are extremely lucky), to be something that you'd want on your desktop. You need to see it.

The question is how you do it. The following picture is an example of the macro kind. No cropping or manipulation needed. The subject is pretty ordinary, but the overall picture makes a good wallpaper.













Then there are those photos which would make good wallpapers if cropped. It's not as easy as it sounds. More often than not, one needs to recongnise that only a small part of the "bracket" is going to look good. That "bracket" is often hidden in the noise that surrounds it and wit a little bit of practise, one starts looking for it.

An example of the cropped kind follows:













I'm particularly proud of this one becuase it didn't need much cropping. Let me give you a hint... "just the corners". A free beer to any one who can guess what the object really was. By the way, I call it "The Crevice".

P.S. hese photos aren't wallpaper quality. If you want 1600x1200 images, either post a comment (for those who know me), post a comment with your email address (I won't spam you, I promise).
