Well, spring is well in swing here in Auckland. It’s a great time of year to be taking photos, especially of nature. Everything’s fresh and hasn’t yet been burnt by New Zealand’s harsh UV-rich sunshine. It seems that while the environment is waking from it’s winter slumber, people are doing the same. It’s amazing what [...]
Man I love mushrooms – and I love taking photos of them. Check that out. Anyway, I was looking through some of my photos and thought this would make a cracking desktop wallpaper background. There’s some great depth of field going on there and the varying size of the mushrooms just makes it all the [...]
Well… It’s been a while since I’ve last uploaded an wallpaper photo here on Beautiful Desktop. And there is a reason for that. It’s all Google’s fault. Long story short: I had an account running some of their ads, it stopped working for no reason whatsoever, they did nothing to help me and for all [...]
Well, we are into the start of a new year, and if you’re anything like me you have high hopes for 2011. I’ve never been one for making resolutions but it seems there is good reason for many of us to be happy to see the close of 2010 and the arrival of a fresh [...]
Another photo of flowers you ask? Well, it is Spring where I am. I can’t turn down the opportunity to capture nature at it’s freshest, and then of course pass that along to others through some form of digital media, namely photos on the internet. I usually try to select desktop wallpapers which have something [...]
So I am back in New Zealand. Awesome. The opportunities to take great nature photographs are limitless. Also, unlike the UK, there is sunshine. This photo was taken on a recent visit to an island called Waiheke which sits somewhere in the Hauraki Gulf, near Auckland. It is truly a special place. The abundance of [...]
MUSHROOMS, woooh!!!! I don’t know about you, but I love mushrooms. And not because of their edibility or potential euphoric side effects. They have a mystical quality which could be a product of my exposure to Alice in Wonderland, or is more likely because they are freaking bizarre. Seriously though, they don’t photosynthesise, grow within [...]
I’m not feeling creative with my naming criteria today. I went to Brighton for a short holiday last summer. As I was by myself I ended up spending a lot of time in parks reading, taking photos and generally being quite drunk. This is one of those beer inspired photos. Coincidentally I am heading back [...]
I do not remember taking this photo. I do know it was taken on a canal boat voyage down the Canal du Midi in Southern France. But in my own defence I drank silly quantities of Rosé on that trip so it’s no surprise I can’t remember. There is only so much you can do on [...]
