As promised before the weekend, here’s my current favourite iPhone wallpaper for you to download and enjoy.
I took this shot on the River Dart at Dartmouth (in the UK), the home of Officer training for the Royal Navy. The sun was just setting behind the hills and was reflecting on the water.
For the photography geeks, it was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II with 70-200mm f/2.8. I’ve found this kind of shot looks great if you focus on the water about one third of the way from the bottom of the frame. This leads the eye in nicely and you end up with the horizon, hills, sun and reflections being out of focus in the top two thirds of the frame. With a nice, fast lens like the 70-200mm you can get some nice bokeh and very subtle lens flare if you get the angles right.
Anyway, download and enjoy. It’s iPhone 4 (retina display) ready and looks great as a lock screen or home screen background.
