webshots

Being a visual person, I like having pretty wallpaper to look at on my computer. But I also get really tired of looking at the same pictures every day.

A couple of years ago, I discovered Webshots. You can put your own photos up for all to see. They also have a section of professional photographs that you can use for free as wallpaper or screensavers. Some of the professional photographs were “premium” and you had to pay to get those. But most were free and as a result, I had many beautiful photos to use as wallpaper.

With the new widescreen monitor, though, my regular-sized photos no longer work. Webshots does offer wide screen images, but it required upgrading to the premium offering, at $2.99 a month.

I have upgraded and have downloaded many beautiful photographs. Their tool runs in the background and lets you configure it any way you want. I’ve got mine set to give me a new background every four hours.

There’s a huge selection: nature, travel, pets, wild animals, flowers and gardens, space, and more.

If you like nice wallpaper, give Webshots a try.
