Truth be told, most of these photos were taken through months of deliberate planning for seasons, hundreds and sometimes thousands of frames, and pretty heavy doctorization via photo editing softwares. The trip was about the chase - kind of like a big scavenger hunt! It was about going outside and seeing these places for ourselves, instead of cooped up in an office looking at a screen.īecause as amazing as Apple's wallpapers are, snapped at the right time under the perfect conditions, they still will never compare to seeing them in person. While our photos weren't a perfect match, that wasn't what the trip was about. It ended up taking us two days of hiking through unmarked trails to find the spot where the photo was taken! In the end it was an incredible journey where we saw things we would never have seen had it not been for Apple. We read online that the photo could have possibly been taken in a field, but when we visited it we were nowhere close. Also, the light from the sun setting is much better in the winter. If you take a look at our version, it's missing the clouds and snow in the background.
