July 2010 – Free Wallpaper Downloads

Welcome to July!

A few days late, but here goes with this month’s free wallpaper downloads.  As always there are a few for your desktop or laptop, with a handy little calendar, and also a few for you iPhone.

All four the desktops are available in both a large (2560 x 1600) and small (1280 x 800) version.  To download your favorite simply click on the image of your choice for the large version or use the text link for the small version.  Enjoy!

July 2010 – Wallpaper #1

I photographed this young lion yesterday morning.  Overcast conditions made for quite an easy exposure as the lion and dry winter grass were pretty much the same color and I quite like the way the big cat almost disappears in the grass.  When you are photographing sleeping lions you have to use composition to create interesting images so placing the subject in the top corner makes it work.  To download the small version click here.

July 2010 – Wallpaper #2

When you are out in the field you will have times that there are no living subjects around.  It’s during times like this that you have to keep you eyes open as there are abstract images everywhere.  To download the small version click here.

July 2010 – Wallpaper #3

One of the most African of animals having a drink.  The simple composition works as there are no distractions that pulls your eye away from the zebra while the diagonal line also works well in pulling your gaze to the subject.  To download the small version click here.

July 2010 – Wallpaper #4

This image, by Kerry de Bruyn, is simple yet effective in it’s composition.  The three hippos are spaced almost perfectly in the frame, something you can not plan for.  Patience and a bit of luck goes a long way when photographing wildlife.  To download the small version click here.
