Considering the popularity of last week’s mountains Wallpaper of the Week post, this week we are featuring another set of naturally beautiful wallpapers. Although, to contrast mountains, the included images salute the water.
In particular, lakes offer stunning vistas often incorporating mountains based on their geography. The lakes featured past the fold are all captured by photographers whose work can be found on Interfacelift.com. We gleaned some of the best and are highlighting them for iPad, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6.
Wallpapers
First up is “Deep Blue” by Mohsen Kamalzadeh. The photograph is of Maligne Lake hear Jasper, in Alberta Canada. The image was shot using a Samsung NX10 and Samsung NX 12-24mm zoom at f/11.

Second is a photo of the highest mountain in New Zealand, “Mount Cook.” Bringing it in line with our theme, Lake Pukaki rests quietly below. Photographer Oliver Bütner notes, it was taken on a particularly clear evening during sunset. According to Bütner the photo is mostly untouched with minimal lens correction and color adaptation.

Finally, another evening shot, “Nightfall at Lake Aurora,” by Dominic Kamp. The wallpaper is a composite of Kamp’s Iceland Aurora shots with a photo of Bannalpsee, Lake Bannalp, located in Switzerland. The picture of Bannalpsee was actually a daytime shot, converted to night for a conversion with the aurora borealis. Using Photoshop the reflections were added to the lake and the water ripples were tweaks of the individual image layers.
