Show me your desk top photo

[Simon]

Hi everyone, thought it would be really cool for everyone to show your own desk top photos and why you have chosen it for you desk top



This is mine, I have had it for over a year now. It shows all my icons nice and clear

[Kelsi]

Here is mine! Have had it for over a year, pretty much since the day it was taken. Good picture of a good friend and I :)

[Simon]

@kelsi87 nice one, I think this will be an interesting thread :)

[Dawn]

Right now my desktop is a National Geographic photo of a fennec fox walking against the wind. (the first one here: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/05/2013-national-geographic-traveler-photo-contest/100516/ )

Before that I had this one up:

[Cally]

Mine's this one. I chose it because at the time I was fed up with bad weather and couldn't wait for Spring! This made me feel a lot happier :)

[☯ Sarah ☁]

This is mine, have had it up for years it's my little boy at about 4 months old, he's nearly 7 years now:

[Al Perry]

This is on my desktop at work. I changed this one quite often. I just love this tree taken at Lions Bridge Newport News, Va.

[Amy]

This one for me :)

[Nada A.]

I tend to change mine, but usually come back to my Mother's Day roses. I got to preserve the memory long after the actual flowers faded.

[David Chamberlain]

I had a tour last September around St John's College, Cambridge as part of a small group and took this photo of the chapel

[Mick]

This is mine, shows my icons nice and clear down the left side and it's one of my fav photos.

[Diana]

[Simon]

@bluefirebucket that's a great one Mick, this the problem I found if my desk was to busy I couldn't find anything : )

[Laly]

This one of my daughter. It is one of my favorite portraits of her. And because of the orientation and it being centered, my icons don't sit on top of it..

[Humphrey Hippo]

I use a program called "John's Background Switcher" to display a random selection of photos from a folder. All my 365 & Flickr pictures are in the folder. :)

Used to change mine just about every week... but I've now settled on this one ever since I took it... I like it because it's simple and unobtrusive, but always has a cheerful feel to it... (and it's one of my personal favourites!!!)

[Carol Estes]

I uploaded this just for this thread. This is one of my favorite moments walking thru the Indiana Dunes last year. It just strikes me everytime I see it. Mother nature is astonishing.

@simon0128

[jenny tucker]

i put this one as my desktop photo, because this was a great street photography day for me.....so it makes me smile when i see it!

[jenny tucker]

@simon0128 great thread!

[Simon]

@sticksandstones thanks Jenny, lovely shot

[Kathryn]

I'm going with this one at the moment, but I change it pretty often:

[scooter]

Right now it is this one:

[Michael Elliott]

@simon0128 - hahaha mine is sort of like yours:

[Kathy A]

@humphreyhippo what a great idea, shame it doesn't work on a Mac

[Styru]

A higher res version of this:



Taking it involved crawling hundreds of meters through deep mud - with about 3 foot of headroom - dragging a boat.

Once there - the tripod was stood in water so deep that the cameras lens cap was dangling in the water...



Full story here

(More) Underground Boating. Lillesdon Canal Tunnel, Somerset (closed 1868)

Oh, and on the laptop - it's this one from my 365 collection



Just liked the way it came out - and it features my 'little' boy.

[Imaginary]

Bennett... of course :)

[Simon]

@michaelelliott that's a nice one, I keep changing mine but I always end up back to this one lol, like yours I would be able to see my icons etc :)

[David Tigani]

I've beeen using this one for the past few months. It was taken on my eldests 4th Birthday.

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

[Sarah]

I update my desktop image quite a bit, depending on my latest favorite! Currently I have the storm image I took a few days ago because I just love it! First time I have managed to be in the right place at the right time to get a storm front shot!

[Julie Duncan]

I just changed mine today, to THIS! I change mine very frequently. (Same thing with my Facebook cover :))

[Melody Tanner]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This one is on it right now but I do change it often.

[Leonie M]

I swap mine around occasionally....but it usually is of the dogs!

[Ellen Young]

This was taken for the 30 Day's in June challenge last year- Word was My Neighborhood!! I loved the details in it when i had it printed out , and It reminds me of Home when i am out on the road with Steve.

[m9f9l]

I took this for the Bauhaus challenge, and thought "that would be a cool desktop. And now I can't change without speaking to Gage first. He doesn't do change so well. :-)


Although now that I think of it, this pic was probably not a good ides, since that's a pizza box and may send subliminal messages... :-)

[☠northy]

this one is on my home puter... i ended up kinda liking the grungy look ;p


this is on my puter at work... it shows my icons nicely

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

I currently use this one on my iPad (I change it every other week) and my laptop has a shuffle program that changes my backgrounds randomly from a selected folder of favourites.




I also shuffle a few different ones on my iPhone too.

[Kate Klinck]

I just love the colours :)

[June]

It is a lovely reminder of my holiday last year!

[Sue Boyd]

Sunrise over Evans Heads - love the colour.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Mine was take during my Feb 2013 'Straight Lines' month

[Lorraine]

This is mine, perfect for the summer!

[Laurie]

just changed it

[Gillian]

This is mine ... because it reminds me of a lovely evening with my sister who was visiting from Australia.

[Allegresse]

Here's mine. Because Wall-E = Love

[PasadenaRose]

I've had this desktop for so long that I don't recall what I had before it. My kitty went through a health scare a few years ago, and it made me realize even more, how precious she is to me and how important it was to at least ATTEMPT to get some decent photos of her. She's usually very camera shy.

[Tara]

What a great thread! I love seeing the different shots here. This was taken for the me-march challenge:time.

[Remi-Rix Jones]

This is my desk top...but I don't think this is what you meant. :P



Trololololololol

[Sue Rose]

I've just changed mine to this as it's so summery

[Alexis Birkill]

Mine changes every 30 minutes from a collection of 40-50 of my photos. At the moment it's this:

[Molly]

This is mine. I've had it on my desktop ever since a trip to Namibia two years ago. Seeing the desert elephants was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

[Simon]

@abirkill that's a nice one Alexis, it's nice and dark around the edges so you can see the icons nice and clear. Beautiful shot too

@dolphin Beautiful Molly, I love the sun on the elephants back, very nice

[danielleg]

this is my work one....at home i have a picture i didn't take....

[Mike]

I have a folder named desktop backgrounds that I add to periodically. I have 95 pictures there now. I use the Windows feature where the desktop background pic will change every so many minutes depending on how often you set the time period. I have mine set to 15 minutes. Here is a collage of 82 of the pics.
