Just sharing something I learned a bit ago

I think everybody knows the “Bliss” wallpaper from Windows XP.

The original photo was taken by Charles O’Rear on medium format color reversal (slide) film, specifically Fujifilm Velvia 50. He shot it on a Mamiya RZ67.

The first image is the original. The second is the version that shipped with Windows XP.

“Bucolic Green Hills”, original photograph of the Napa Valley hills that became the default Windows XP wallpaper. Unedited original

The default Windows XP wallpaper, saturation and contrast greatly increased, image is cropped in slightly
