September 2010 Wallpapers – Updated

August 31st, 2010

September wallpapers are here, in both 2560×1600 and 1280×853. *The first versions I posted gave you one extra day, which is good for some but confusing the rest of the world. They’re fixed now.

I shot this in Iceland in the driving rain, with a 24mm/3.5 tilt/shift lens. So struck by the vastness of space in Iceland, and the almost tiny influence of man on the landscape, I decided to explore some of those themes. This is one of my favourite images from that trip, and it now hangs large – 40×60 – on canvas in my home. You can explore all the Iceland images, and my process in creating them, on September 9th when we launch the next eBook in the Craft & Vision library.

I’m off to Ladakh, Thailand, and the Kathmandu valley on Sept.10. After that it gets quiet, but I promise I’ll check in when I can with a postcard.

    Beautiful photo David. The soft toning adds to the mystery and isolation in the shot.

    Beautiful. love the subtlety in the tones and landscape. Really translates the vastness you want to express, as well as a feeling of closeness that the mist brings.

    Did you go to this pool ?

    It’s a natural hot pool with streaming hot water from the mountain, the surroundings are all black due to the heavy ashfall from the recent eruption.

    Fascinating image, David. Love the contrast between the feeling of remoteness and the connectivity of the powerlines
