Jedna od sjajnih stvari u vezi sa sustavom Windows 7^{(Windows 7)} je činjenica da ima vrlo jaku vizualnu osobnost. Uključuje vrlo raznolik skup pozadina s dugog popisa vizualnih umjetnika. Ono što je smiješno je to što pozadine koje naš tim najviše voli kreirao je jedan fotograf. Njegovo ime je Will Austin i imali smo veliku sreću što smo ga imali kao gosta u ovom intervjuu. Ako želite saznati više o njemu i kako je uspio doći na desktop milijuna ljudi, ne ustručavajte se pročitati naš razgovor.

P: Tko je Will Austin?^{(Q: Who is Will Austin?)}

Ja sam komercijalni fotograf iz Seattlea^(Seattle) gdje živim sa suprugom i sinom. Rođen sam u Coloradu^(Colorado) i moji su preci uglavnom rančeri iz Teksasa^(Texas) . Naravno, moja web stranica je willaustin.com, ali sam svoj osobni rad stavio na svoj fotoblog, luminanceflux.com, koji je za mene stvarno zabavan kreativni izlaz!

P: Kada ste postali strastveni za fotografiju?^{(Q: When have you become passionate about photography?)}

Moj tata^(Dad) je bio jako dobar fotograf i često sam koristio njegov stari fotoaparat Canon Pellix , ali moj ujak, koji je bio profesionalni fotograf, mi je stvarno pomogao dopuštajući mi da pohađam njegovu školu fotografije i koristim njegovu mračnu komoru jednog ljeta kada sam imala jedanaest godina. . Čak mi je povjerio svoju Nikon opremu profesionalnog nivoa! Zatim sam otišao na mnoge sate fotografije u školi i snimao za svoj srednjoškolski godišnjak.

P: Koliko vam je vremena trebalo da postanete profesionalni fotograf?^{(Q: How long did it take you to become a professional photographer?)}

Nikad nisam siguran kako odgovoriti na ovo pitanje... ali sam to polako odvajao godinama dok nisam imao dovoljno klijenata da to radim s punim radnim vremenom. Obično kažem ljudima 'ja sam jedan ovaj tjedan' jer sam 100% freelance!

P: Kako biste opisali posao koji ste do sada radili?^{(Q: How would you describe the work you've done so far?)}

Počeo sam se baviti puno fotografije prirode, a onda sam se preselio u arhitekturu/putovanje/ljude/industriju. Ipak volim sve fotografirati, radio bih to cijeli dan i noć da mogu.

P: Kako je Microsoft stupio u kontakt s vama?^{(Q: How did Microsoft get in touch with you?)}

Zapravo, upoznao sam jednog od njihovih dizajnera na snimanju arhitekture!

P: Kako je bilo raditi s Microsoftom?^{(Q: How was it to work with Microsoft?)}

Sjajno pitanje i jednostavan odgovor - apsolutno fantastično! Bili su tako profesionalni, ali tako prijateljski nastrojeni i prizemni, bilo je to sjajno iskustvo. Također sam vidio da im je jako stalo do svog rada i projekta na kojem su radili, da je bio inspirativan.

P: Gdje ste snimali slike koje ste poslali Microsoftu?^{(Q: Where did you shoot the pictures you sent to Microsoft?)}

U Seattleu^(Seattle) ! Tri arhitektonske fotografije snimljene su u 'Seattle Centru^{('Seattle Center)} '. Snimka lišća lijeske s tamnocrvenom pozadinom snimljena je u arboretumu Washington Park^{(Washington Park Arboretum)} u prohladno jutro. Poslovična 'svjetlost' je dopirala kroz drveće i samo na trenutak osvijetlila lišće. Bio sam tamo mnogo puta, ali boja jeseni nikad više nije bila tako lijepa.

P: Koliko ste slika snimili za Microsoft i koliko je poslano u konačnoj verziji?^{(Q: How many pictures did you take for Microsoft and how many were shipped in the final version?)}

Sve fotografije su bile iz moje kolekcije i odabrali su 6 za pozadine.

P: Koja vam je slika najdraža?^{(Q: Which picture is your favorite?)}

Vau^(Wow) , ovo je teško pitanje, sjećam se da sam ih sve uzeo. Sudit ću po osjećaju i reći da lišće lješnjaka jer je to prva slika koju sam ikada izložio u galeriji!

Q: Do you have any interesting/funny events you would like to share about this collaboration?

O da, otkrio sam da sam u prošlosti imao obiteljsku vezu s jednim od ljudi s kojima sam radio u Microsoftu^(Microsoft) čija se baka^{(Grandmother)} brinula za mog oca dok je bio beba!

P: Koju ste opremu koristili?^{(Q: What gear did you use?)}

Fotografije prirode snimljene su Contax opremom, a arhitektura Nikonom^(Nikon) .

P: Koliko ste naknadno obradili svoje slike?^{(Q: How much post-processing have you done on your pictures?)}

Iskreno, gotovo nikakve. Volim raditi post, ali ovima to nije trebalo, možda osim mrljanja prašine. Reći ću ipak da su sve ovo snimljene kada je svjetlo bilo stvarno lijepo, kvaliteta svjetla je bila moja najveća briga.

P: Biste li razmotrili da svoju kolekciju učinite dostupnom za javno preuzimanje?^{(Q: Would you consider making your collection available for public download?)}

Pa, već su vani, a vidio sam ih i na flickru (nisam siguran u legalnost tamo). Nudim vrlo ograničeno izdanje otisaka^{(limited edition of prints)} zbog čega sam uzbuđena.

P: Što mislite o sustavu Windows 7?^{(Q: What do you think of Windows 7?)}

Pa, naravno da sam jako uzbuđena zbog toga! Živeći u Seattleu^(Seattle) čuo sam toliko pozitivnih stvari o njemu tijekom njegovog razvoja. Mislim da su pozadine izvrstan primjer Microsoftove^(Microsoft) predanosti korisničkom iskustvu i zaslužuju sva priznanja koja su dobivali.

Will Austin About His Trip to the Desktop of Millions

One of the great thіngs about Windows 7 is the fact that it has a vеry strong visual perѕоnality. It includes a very diverse set of wallpapers from a long list of visual artists. The funny thіng is, the wallpapers which our tеam likes bеst arе all created by one photographer. His name is Will Austin and we werе very fortunаte to have him as a guest in thiѕ interview. If you want to know more about him and how he managed to get on the dеsktop оf millions of people, don't hesitatе to read our сonversation.

Q: Who is Will Austin?

I'm a commercial photographer based in Seattle where I live with my wife and son. I was born in Colorado and my ancestors are mostly ranchers from Texas. Of course my website is willaustin.com but I put my personal work on my photoblog, luminanceflux.com, which is a really fun creative outlet for me!

Q: When have you become passionate about photography?

My Dad was a very good photographer and I often used his old Canon Pellix camera but it was my uncle, who was a professional photographer, who really helped me out by allowing me attend his photography school and use his darkroom one summer when I was eleven. He even trusted me with his pro-level Nikon gear! I then went on to take many photo classes in school and shot for my high school yearbook.

Q: How long did it take you to become a professional photographer?

Never sure how to answer this question…. but I chipped away at it slowly for years until I had enough clients to do it full-time. I usually tell people that 'I am one this week' because I am 100% freelance!

Q: How would you describe the work you've done so far?

I started out doing a lot of nature photography and then moved into doing architecture/travel/people/industrial. I like to photograph everything though, I'd do it all day and night if I could.

Q: How did Microsoft get in touch with you?

Actually, I met one of their designers on an architecture shoot!

Q: How was it to work with Microsoft?

Great question and an easy answer - absolutely fantastic! They were so professional yet so friendly and down-to-earth, it was a great experience. I could also see that they really cared so much about their work and the project they were working on, it was inspiring.

Q: Where did you shoot the pictures you sent to Microsoft?

In Seattle! The 3 architecture photos were taken at the 'Seattle Center.' The shot of the hazel leaves with the dark red background was taken in the Washington Park Arboretum on a chilly morning. The proverbial 'shaft of light' came through the trees and only illuminated the leaves for a moment. I have been back there many times but the fall color has never again been that beautiful.

Q: How many pictures did you take for Microsoft and how many were shipped in the final version?

All of the photos were from my stock collection and they chose 6 for the wallpapers.

Q: Which picture is your favorite?

Wow, this is a difficult question, I remember taking them all. I'll judge by sentiment and say the hazel leaves because it is the first image I ever exhibited in a gallery!

Q: Do you have any interesting/funny events you would like to share about this collaboration?

Oh yes, I discovered that I had a past family connection with one of the people I worked with at Microsoft whose Grandmother cared for my Father when he was a baby!

Q: What gear did you use?

The nature photos were taken with Contax gear, the architecture with Nikon.

Q: How much post-processing have you done on your pictures?

Honestly, almost none. I love to do post work but these didn't need it, maybe besides dust spotting. I will say though that these were all taken when the light was really beautiful, the quality of the light was my paramount concern.

Q: Would you consider making your collection available for public download?

Well, they are already out there, and I have seen them on flickr too (not sure about the legality there). I am offering a very limited edition of prints which I am excited about.

Q: What do you think of Windows 7?

Well, of course I am very excited about it! Living in Seattle I have heard so many positive things about it during its development. I think the wallpapers are a great example of Microsoft's commitment to the user experience and they deserve all of the accolades they have been getting.
