After realizing Apple was not going to release a real photo as the wallpaper for macOS Monterey, YouTuber Andrew Levitt, videographer Jacob Phillips, and photographer Taylor Gray took to California to shoot their own.
Photographers and filmmakers Andrew Levitt, Jacob Phillips, and Taylor Gray are back at it with the latest installment of their series in which they re-create Apple's MacOS desktop wallpaper photos. Following the announcement of MacOS Big Sur, the trio immediately set off to see if they could recreate the exact same shot... but it was a bit more challenging than they expected.
Last week, landscape photographer Gaurav Agrawal watched one of his photos go viral for all the wrong reasons. Thanks to a Lightroom export mixup, an image he took at Glacier National Park began bricking Android phones around the world.
Following up on their popular video from a couple of months ago, YouTuber Andrew Levitt, videographer Jacob Phillips, and photographer Taylor Gray recently set out to re-create Apple's macOS Catalina wallpaper. They hiked many miles, had to contend with crazy winds, and had a run-in with the police... but darn it, they got the shot!
Photographer and YouTuber Andrew Levitt recently teamed up with two friends—videographer Jacob Phillips and landscape photographer Taylor Gray—to try and recreate all of Apple's default macOS wallpapers since they switched from big cats to iconic California locations... in a single week.
The iconic default Microsoft XP wallpaper "Bliss" is considered to be the most-viewed photo of all time. While Microsoft paid the photographer behind that photo over $100,000 for the usage, a different photographer who shot the well-known "Autumn" wallpaper earned just $45.
Bliss, the photo used as the default wallpaper on Windows XP, is considered to be the most-viewed photo in the history of the world. The photographer behind that iconic photo has just published three new photo wallpapers, this time for smartphones.
The new LG G6 smartphone ships with an artsy wallpaper that looks like a stylized number 6. A neat fact about the image is that it's not a computer rendered artwork: it took two months to create and shoot the photos.
If you like using Drop It Modern's photography backdrops, we've got good news for you: they sell those same patterns as wallpaper. Who needs a backdrop when your whole house or apartment can be one!?
If you've ever been curious how some of the beautiful desktop wallpaper images in Apple's OS X operating system were shot, you're in luck. It seems Apple forgot to scrub the EXIF data from one of the El Capitan wallpapers, giving you a glimpse into how it was shot, and how it was edited.
'Bliss,' the default wallpaper that shipped with Windows XP, was photographed in Sonoma County, California, and may be the most viewed photo of all time. For its upcoming Windows 10 operating system, Microsoft enlisted the help of creative director Bradley G. Munkowitz for a fresh new default desktop photo that the company hopes will one day be just as iconic.
If you sell your photography as stock shots with royalty free licenses through services such as Getty Images, you need to be okay with buyers using the images in ways that seem disproportionate to the meager price they paid. That's a lesson Turkish photographer Murat Koc learned this past week after discovering his photo used as a wallpaper on a newly launched laptop.
When the iPhone 6 was announced this week, there was one person who received a bigger surprise than most: Espen Haagensen, the photographer behind the phone's default wallpaper photograph.
Here's why: Haagensen didn't know his photo had been selected for this use until the rest of the world saw the photo during the phone's official announcement.
As of yesterday, Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. And in honor of one of the longest-living operating systems, the above video takes a look at the story behind what is arguably XP's most recognized quality: the 'Bliss' wallpaper that came stock on every machine.
Photographer Patrick Ng has an obsession with natural materials such as wood and leather. Recently, he decided to "woodenize" his beloved Canon F-1n SLR (a professional film SLR released back in 1976). He didn't use a pre-made kit for the conversion, though... Instead, he simply ripped off the faux-leather and replaced it with faux-wood wallpaper.
Apparently the universe isn't perfect enough for Apple's products. David Kaplan, a keen-eyed physics professor at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, noticed that an entire galaxy is missing from the image of the Andromeda Galaxy used as OS X Lion's default wallpaper.
What does it look like when every inch of a room's walls and ceiling are covered with photographs? German art students Joern Roeder and Jonathan Pirnay decided to find out through their project titled "fbFaces". Using a crawler that traverses the Facebook social graph, they harvested 100,000 profile pictures and used them to print out an intense wallpaper for the entire room.
You might have framed photographs up in your home, but what about using an entire wall to show off your pictures? Photographer Lyanne Wylde turned her hallway into a photo wall by putting up wallpaper with frames and slowly filling in the frames with her own photographs. You can buy the wallpaper, titled "Frames", yourself from Graham & Brown for $45 a roll and start your own wall!
Do you recognize this photograph? It’s the wallpaper for Apple’s new iPad tablet computer, which found its way into …
