February 2010 – Free Wallpaper Downloads

Welcome to February!

With the year well underway it’s time for this month’s free wallpapers.  The first three are for your desktop and, as mentioned in a previous post, I have also included three wallpapers for your iPhone and yeah… it’s free.  No cost!  Nothing!  All you have to do is download your favorite image, use it as your desktop and (hopefully) tell everybody to come and get there free downloads as well.  To download simply scroll down, pick your favorite and click on the appropriate link.  Done!

Here goes with my choices of desktop and iPhone wallpapers for February 2010.

February Wallpaper #1

If you have ever experienced an African sunset you will know that it seems to lasts forever.  It is an absolutely fantastic time of day and this image shows just a little bit of that magic.  To download the large version (2560×1600) click on the image above or alternatively click here for the small version (1280×800).

February Wallpaper #2

In  most game reserves in Africa you will get fantastic elephant sightings.  After you have all your normal elephant shots look for different angles, zoom in or focus on a specific body part.  This image shows the trunk as the big guy was trying to get our scent.  To download the large version (2560×1600) click on the image above or alternatively click here for the small version (1280×800).

February Wallpaper #3

I know this is not a wildlife image but with all the great images I got during our trip to Bangkok I thought I’d throw one into the mix.  I shot the above image just as we entered the Grand Palace.  The size, detail and absolute splendor of this place is difficult to explain.  It is truly an ancient wonder and a photographers playground.  I shot the above image at a very wide focal length of 10mm to try and get as much visual elements into one frame.  You can see the obvious distortion in the image but I think it actually works to have all the elements pulling together.  To download the large version (2560×1600) click on the image above or alternatively click here for the small version (1280×800).

Iphone Wallpaper #1

About as African as you can get – a giraffe silhouette at sunrise.  Click on the image to download this image for your iPhone.

iPhone Wallpaper #2

A monochrome image of a male Waterbuck.  This image was ok in color but the black & white brings the texture of the thick fur alive.  Click on the image to download this image for your iPhone.

iPhone Wallpaper #3

When a male Buffalo stares at you, you know about it.  This image shows an old boy with water still dripping from his mouth after having a drink.  Click on the image to download this image for your iPhone.

Later today Adele and I leave for the Drakensberg to complete a hotel shoot that was rained out last week.  So far all forecasts are looking good so looking forward to getting back to the mountains for a few days.  The hotel is fantastic and the scenery in and the around the mountain breathtaking.  Hmm… landscapes!  I have already loaded the post for tomorrow in which I look at the five new images at the top of the site.  You might by now have noticed that these slideshow images get updated every month so tomorrow I share thoughts on why I chose these specific ones.

Enjoy the wallpapers, send this link to all your friends and family so they can also get their free wallpapers and I will be back on Wednesday.

Bye 4 now!
