Hamad Darwish has released some amazing new desktop wallpapers for your enjoyment and look absolutely stunning on your Windows Vista desktop. Microsoft contacted Hamad to shoot some photos for wallpapers to include with Windows Vista. His photos titled Destination and Lost Sensations made it into the final versions of Windows Vista now in stores. Long Zheng interviewed Hamad on his experience working with Microsoft and shooting the photos for the project. "I really enjoyed the experience and I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again, if I was given the chance," Hamad says.
You can grab the new wallpapers over off Hamad's personal website. Each of the wallpapers are at 1920x1200 resolution so they should look very nice on your desktop.
My favorite is this one -- it reminds me of a trip I took to Baja California in the late 90's:
... I've configured it as the desktop image on one of my machines :)
Sweet, and I thought the new NewZealand backdrop for XP was nice :-)
Its nice that you can just download all the pictures in 2 *.zip files from Hameds website. Hamad Darwish is certainly a great photographer.
Thanks Hamed :-)
Oh sorry for the name typo!
Wow Hamad has exceeded his bandwidth since the time I left work, these pics must be in high demand, his website now states you can download the wallpapers here instead

Not too bad. I still like my img20. But
Great pictures for a art display. But a picture
of my grand kids is far greater wallpaper.
Sorry Nick

oldguy28 again. I forgot to state how easy it was to set up in Vista, using my own photos. I also have screan saver using a series of digital pictures using Camedia software. I did it in XP and works thre same in Vista.

Hey I noticed that some of the pictures although looking more or less the same, differ slightly in RC1 compared to RTM. The resolution has changed e.g 1920 by 1240, 1920 by 1200, 1600 by 1200, 1600 by 1900 also on some pics the brightness changed.
Do you know why this is?
Are the pics the same in all versions of Vista or do they differ slightly by type e.g. Home Premium vs Ultimate?
All I have to say about Windows Vista period is it sucks
Beautiful wallpapers! I have already downloaded a couple of them!
Nick White,
Thanks for share this Beautiful wallpapers ;)
