Now that PR 1.2 brings us easy loopable wallpapers (Just add a 3200*480 PNG anywhere on the device, and your N900 will recognise it as a loopable wallpaper) I'll share the one's I've made for myself here.

These have been added to n900wallpapers.com too, but they seem to be a little slow to update.

All these wallpapers are panoramas I found across the web, and are either licensed under Wikimedia commons, or I have asked the original artist permission to use and share them.

To install these, just click the thumbnail. This will take you to the full-size image. Right-click and save, and then save this image somewhere on your N900 (i created a folder called "wallpapers" in my user directory).
When you then choose "change background" in the desktop menu, it should be listed as an image set.

All these wallpapers shoul be fully loopable. And whenever I make a new one, I'll upload it here.

If you have any comments, objections or questions, please ask them.

This image was shot using a regular tripod head in two rows and +- 1 1/3 AEB exposures totaling 59 images. All images were shot in manuall exposure and manual focus about one third innto the scene.

The initial expusure was f22 iso 100 shutterspeed 1/5s and ND4 filte + polarizer. The long shutter was to get rid of cars and people on the road in the left of the image.

The images were shot in raw and developed in digital photoprofessional using the exact same whitebalance for all shots and correcting C/A and vigneting. Theye were all converted to 16-bit tif and put into hugin for alignment. The two rows were then alligned separately and connected afterwards by half of the images approximately. Then the pano was output as a fused-blended pano + remapped images. The last traces of stitching were cleaned up in gimp by using the remaped images and some layermasks.

All these images were shot with a lot of overlap, I could probably droped some of them without loosing anny parts of the image, however I think it helps fight parallax error to use a lot of overlap.

2 wallpapers created from the same image of Misty day in the forest

You have to imagine the height of these 300 ft tall trees surrounding you, their tips lost in the clouds... It's surreal.

Thanks for creating those, very nice work. I especially like those are connected very well, you don't see any unfitting lines on both ends. Do you have any sunset/rise styled wallpapers by accident?
