When it comes to art, you think it’s paintings and photographs and stuff like that and you know it’s not free! Think again, some of it is free! (Only if you can master it from trash or if not, there is something for your desktop!)
I’m talking about Webshots.com, a website that has got thousands of really staggering photos clicked by professional photographers which can be downloaded to enhance your desktop. I’ve been a member for the past 1-½ years after my friend persuaded me!
To get started, one has to log on to https://webshots.com (now that's elementary, my dear MS-ian), sign up for free and download the WEBSHOTS DESKTOP software and then go on to download the photos (maximum of 5 photos per day). There are a plenty of photos to choose from with a vary array of categories with sub-categories…(art, 3D Art, Nature, Flowers, Oceans, Birds and Animals, Religions, Travel, People etc.) So you’ve got at least something from whatever you like.
Here are some of my favourite pictures:
1)Ala Moana Park, Honolulu, Hawaii.
2)Spirit Island Mayer lake
3)A Ballerina readjusting her slipper.
4)So Many Masks
5)The Great Wall of China
Etc..and so many others, the list is endless.
You can turn your photos to full-size screensavers and adding your own settings or enhancements to them. Webshots also offers several packages to choose from. Like there is this unlimited package of Webshots which can be started ($ 19.98 for six-month membership).
Posters(that aren’t watermarked), mousepads, mugs, postcards can be brought from the Online store(which come in good discounts!). Though the prices are in dollars, they are also shipped internationally. Webshots also holds a community where members can create their own albums and share them with others.
There is a small camera(optional) that reminds you of downloading new photos from the Daily Page. There is an e-greetings service which come in with sounds and other forms.
Well, that's all my two-penny’s worth.
Another thing,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
