Once I finally get around to them, I spend ages going over them in Aperture, fixing colour balance and so on, and then I leave them on my hard drives forever. The final step of uploading them somewhere or sharing them with people always seems to elude me. It&#8217;s not like the Internet is short a picture or two.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, I make wallpapers or background images out of ones I really like. Here are a few that I put together over the weekend. \u00a0I took the shots last spring while travelling around Osaka and Kyoto. They&#8217;re 1920&#215;1200 resolution pics so they ought to work nicely on any widescreen monitor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.robfahey.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wallpapers-eight-shots-from-kyoto-and-osaka\\\/\"}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-39 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-attachment-id=\"40\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wallpapers-eight-shots-from-kyoto-and-osaka\/dsc_0056\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.robfahey.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/DSC_00561.jpg?fit=1920%2C1200\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kyoto &amp;#8211;
