Wallpaper experimentation

Different and ...eerie, `n` quite cool.

Classic....

I am oddly reminded of the good ol' pre-2K times when technology wasn't so huge as it is now.

Really cool stuff Bloodstar, the Raven Motel should fit #!/OB perfectly.

That's an interesting wall, too - I might use it sometime if I need a 4:3 wall.

I've got three more wallpapers ready... one was made in December, one was made earlier this month, and with how hectic and busy I've been, I kinda forgot to post the previous ones here.

This one was of the Springfield Hospital in Springfield, PA. Unfortunately, due to the events that have brought me there (Grandmother hospitalized (and as of the 17th, she passed away after being rehospitalized for ten days... though she was doing fine until the 14th and looked to be making a recovery), there's little to no chance that anything at all will happen this year, nor will I get some shots from NJ like I'd hoped. Oh well.

This one was taken at a cemetery where an uncle of mine was buried recently. I figured it'd make a nice shot as we drove on the road... and considering the subject matter, grays seemed appropriate.

This was taken at MacDade Mall in Ridley Township.

And no, I never did get those aforementioned shots from NJ.

e: I missed a wallpaper. Oops.

...Haha, thanks! Glad to see some appreciation, and thanks for the sentiment. I didn't quite INTEND that hospital shot to be as eerie as it is... but you know, it really, really fits.

I've come with a new wallpaper, too: a non-monochromatic (although the monochromatic option is still available, I'll explain) wallpaper! This one was taken just inside Delaware.

Unfortunately, due to the dithering not quite wanting to cooperate when trying to do lower resolutions (too much detail loss in the lower part of the image), I've only got this one available in 1680x1050, 1920x1080, and 1920x1200.

(The thumb was downsized from 1680x1050... it's not perfect in the least.)

... Yikes. February 8th was my last wallpaper post? Let's fix that.

Too much has been happening, that's all I'll say. However, I'm back with a new camera to take pictures with and a huge range of new resolutions!

This one is a less creepy red wall! I figured I'd go for a red shot again, considering the last one I took was ... overly creepy, in a way. Perhaps the events over the past four months for me have tainted the wallpaper in my mind! Ah well, I don't regret making that one! This was actually going to be me experimenting and making something with 16 colors, and it actually looked INCREDIBLE (Nice muted colors without losing TOO much!) ... but I happened to catch actual people in the shot, and due to my paranoia I'm making the wall four colors to make their faces mostly unrecognizable just in case.

Go figure, eh?

This wallpaper was taken on the Media campus of Delaware County Community College in Pennsylvania - through a window in the building with the cafeteria, bookstore, library, etc... not the academic building, I guess, but I don't know the proper term for it. This is actually my second attempt at such a shot. ( You can see the first here here). It wasn't really an attempt at a wallpaper but more a "hey, something odd's happening, snap a shot of it" type thing, but I found it worth attempting to turn into a wallpaper in December. It didn't pan out, sadly - I found it a bit too dark around the top, and ultimately a little too "weird" for what I was aiming for. I may try to make it into a wall in the future, though... it won't be available in resolutions above 1920x1200, though, being taken on my iPod!) I find this one captured what I was aiming for a lot better than the first one... especially considering the second one was taken on a whim!
