Every major release of the Apple operating system Mac OS X or macOS comes with its own background image for the desk. The latest versions of these desktop wallpapers are photographs of natural scenes. The backgrounds of Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave are particularly well known. You probably also know the island that adorns the macOS Catalina desk. But is it really that easy to create snapshots? How much work is there to create on site? Andrew Levitt answered these questions in two videos on his YouTube channel.
macOS wallpaper photographed himself - Yosemite to Mojave
To put it into perspective: Yosemite is macOS version 10.10, Mojave is macOS 10.14. Overall you will find in the following Video So a hunt for around 13 minutes for five photos that are as close to Apple as possible. It worked sometimes more, sometimes less.
How easy or difficult is it to recreate Mac OS X and macOS desktop wallpapers? You can see it in the following video;)

In it I have not only listed the individual editions of Mac OS X and macOS, but also compiled a small historical outline of the Macintosh system software and Mac OS as well as information on important innovations in each edition of the OS.
