Yeh awesome shots, was a bit devastated i cant get good resolutions of them

Meatball · 21 Feb 2007 at 09:49

God it's making me want to buy a widescreen monitor even more now

What are the resolutions of the wallpaper in Vista? XP had some nice backgrounds but at 1024x768 they were poor

Is there anywhere to download higher resolution versions of them?

With Photoshop skills and a DSLR camera yes

A lot of the effects are done using special lenses and filters.

I like them, especially "The Dam"

The thing I don't like about the other mans work is the colours are to saturated and unrealistic. Have you got Adobe Photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro?

i havent got any pay for program at the moment. i did use photofiltre to crop some of those pictures. I do agree though they are all over saturated. too colourfull.
