Fountain Pen Wallpapers?

[Purphoros]

Hey everyone!

 

I'm sure we've all had the issue of looking for a nice computer background, mine happens to be a plain grey one. So in the effort of making helping facilitate this process, I was wondering if any photographers would like to shoot some pictures of your favorite pens, and post them here, I personally would be appreciative, and I am sure a number of community members would be as well.

 

It seems that sites like Imgur may be best in this application since the maximum resolution allowed to be uploaded on FPN is 1000x1000 pixels, if you have ideas please share.

 

Technical details:

• If possible link to a picture of 1920x1080 or more in resolution so that they can be scaled to fit a variety of monitors.
• It would also be nice to have the name of the pen, this is optional.
• Feel free to sign your pictures, digitally or within the picture i.e. on a piece of paper the pen is placed on.

Some things that should be clear:

 

• This is for fun.
• Please be aware that pictures that are sent will likely be downloaded and used for wall paper on private computers, if you have a problem with this please abstain from posting.
• Please only post pictures you took of your pens, or someone else's pens (with their permission of course) this is to avoid possible copy infringement.

 

Also, if this post is in the wrong section I apologize, if there is one that would suit it better just let me know and I will move it!

I'm going to throw my own hat into the ring when I receive my new pen (should be tomorrow) and give it a good looking over!

I once did a wallpaper featuring a fountain pen.

Resolution is too low though.

With permission of the original posters, there are some great photos of demonstrators filled with Blue Ghost or of Blue Ghost and pen on a desk.

 

A thread with pictures from both Mocksy and Eternally Noodling

Some of the photos have been removed, including the one I saved as wallpaper, but the discussion is interesting as well.

This is a picture I took for the Kaweco Summer Contest in 2015. I didn't win, but I got runner up and was allowed to pick out a Classic Sport with a nib of my choice.

Don't the walls end up lumpy if you use pens as wall paper?

Not a fountain pen, but a dip pen. Made a photo I took into a wallpaper. 16:9 and 16:10. Enjoy or ignore. Free for non-comercial use.

Brause Schulfeder and J. Herbin "Poussière De Lune".

 

 

 

... but FPN and photobucket prevent me from posting it in full resolution. So, no one gets a wallpaper.
