[@ThioJoe]

Very awesome, the Palouse is incredible, can't believe I hadn't heard of it before. • Fun fact (You probably found this while researching Bliss but many others might not know): Even in the years when the Bliss wallpaper was taken, it didn't look like it does in the wallpaper, but was always a Vineyard with the stakes and grapevines. But a couple years before the picture was taken, there was some bug infestation that made them tear out all the vines and stakes, leaving just the hills (and were later put back again, as we see today). The photographer also happened to drive through the area after a rainstorm which left everything particularly green. So the photo itself would only have been possible for handful of total days over those limited years (where it was a clear sunny day after a rainstorm). The perfect time to be taken for XP. We're also lucky that the photographer had the right kind of camera and film, a medium format camera shooting Fuji Velvia, known for having rally saturated colors. He credits much of the success of the photo to the type of film and the larger format (much bigger and higher 'resolution' than normal 35mm). He was also obviously really skilled, having been a photographer for National Geographic. So basically the scene of Bliss was really only something that could have been happened upon by chance, and wasn't some well known photography spot. We're very lucky that the Photographer, Charles, had been particularly watchful that day.

this feels like an HD remake from the groundup of the original bliss also these photos are really neat, feel so fitting for a wallpaper

[@TheGrandGamerOfficial]

Yeah

[@DaedalusYoung]

The original Bliss is a large format analog film photo. It's higher def than any high def available.

One of the advantages of the OG Bliss, is that it was made with a film camera, and the type of film used rly looks great with the scenery

0:50 excuse me. You cant just casually pull off such an insane transition

[@robotomo4249]

For as long as I can remember, I've loved grasslands, they give me a feeling of BLISS and comfort and other things that no other landscape does. I always would've thought that beautiful places like this couldn't exist... Guess I was wrong.

[@phillipe4742]

Weird right?

[@MightyWinz]

Same for me, if you want a similar experience, go through wind turbine databases, and you can find areas similar probably, with wind turbines of course.

[@atkinse1719]

You are criminally underrated, the photography and editing is amazing, much love from GB

[@michaeldalberti3597]

This is exactly how it is to be a photographer - you can plan everything just right, but you have to let mother nature show you a bit of luck. Amazing video - love the road trip vibes and adventure.

[@katet8639]

That whole place looks like living in the windows xp wall paper. Honestly the picture with the one tree is even better than windows

[@ViewsofHarry]

7:37 that was so sick. These transitions are amazing

[@aaronhutt274]

"I don't think I'm comfortable flying a drone here" *Shows drone shots*

[@sucyshi]

As a non-photographer I was very confused why you didn't fly into a closer airport like Spokane or Pullman, then realized you probably wanted to hit as many of WA's 7 regional climates and corresponding landscapes as possible

If I ever see that the bliss hill is back to a hill instead of a vineyard, I’m gonna run on it and roll around in the grass.

0:56 this transition was crazy🤯

[@paulfrancois]

Aside from the fact that your wallpapers look a lot better, your soundtrack selection is also amazing. 😻

[@ramirocortavarria]

You should do a series showing the most beautiful places of each state! This was great.

[@l.abuddy23]

Although I did not grow up with Bliss, I did grow up with the iconography of green hills & blue skies(Frutiger). I can't find other landscapes that match its awe, and that's because Bliss is saturated more. That is a unique aspect of this image, making it 10x easier to remember its beauty.

[@incident_confirmed]

This just shows how beautiful the world is, this is how beautiful world peace would look like.
