Background images for your desktop, mainly sourced from (un)edited photos. The resolution for all wallpapers is Full HD (1920×1080 pixel). To download them, a) just right-click on a thumbnail and select “save target as…” or b) right-click on a big image in gallery view and select “save image as…”.

Trying out stuff with my new ultra-wide angle lense in a nice setting. Post-processing with GIMP. Recipe (roughly): Cropped, Resized, Layer duplicated; Top layer: Gaussian Blur (15px), Levels, Transparency; Bottom layer: Unsharp mask (radius 1, strength 0.5), Levels.
