Solid Block of Ise

I got a little creative and whipped up this simple wallpaper based on a macro-zoom of the (surprisingly dusty) F4 graciously given to me by my father. In a neat technical loop the camera I used to take the picture is his much-newer Nikon D40x.

It’s always a bit tricky making wallpapers of very detailed photos, since they have a tendency to becoming very “busy” and distracting. A good wallpaper should in my opinion be pretty but not too heavy on the details. This one seems to work.

On a sidenote, I’m becoming really fascinated by the sheer sturdiness of the F4. It’s an almost 20-year old camera, yet it works as well as the day it was new. Apart from some minor scarring it’s difficult to tell that this camera has seen a lot of action, being dragged through all kinds of weather from heat to cold. Also, it’s lightning-fast when snapping off a shot - provided that it’s all setup beforehand, since the interface requires virtually both hands to operate.

You can download the wallpaper from my gallery. Enjoy.
