Ever since, he has taken more photos at the same spot, including a winter version. Burian did not expect that the photo would become such a big deal, although he has described his "15 minutes of fame" as "fun". The image went on to become one of Burian's most licensed images, as he earned slightly under $800 in income from it, which could imply it was licensed 17 times. Tosches' findings would be discussed in a 2007 Vanity Fair article titled Autumn and the Plot Against Me. According to Burian, the lane leads to a farmhouse formerly owned by the Harris family, who were one of the first European settlers in Burlington. Eventually he found it he even contacted the property's current owner who agreed that it was the right spot. Tosches contacted Burian, who had also become interested in tracking down the location of the photo. However, Vanity Fair's senior photo research editor Ann Schneider was able to find out the photographer's name. The only useful information it provided was the month and year taken. Eventually he was informed by Microsoft that it originated from Bill Gates' stock photo agency Corbis, so he found its Corbis page, which did not mention its photographer due to Corbis owning the rights to the photo, nor did it even mention its location. Although it is not as well known as the default wallpaper Bliss, it is still one of the most popular XP wallpapers.ĭuring 2006-07, Vanity Fair journalist Nick Tosches, fascinated with Autumn, decided to track down where Autumn was taken, a process that took several months of contacting people and browsing online.

In 2001 Microsoft bought a license to the horizontal version for around $300 for Windows XP's wallpaper set (where he received $45), where it has become his most successful and well known image. Corbis appears to own the rights to them, although he got 15% of the sales from it.

He would subsequently submit two of these shots to Corbis as royalty free images, one being horizontal and the other vertical. At the time, Burian did not think of it much and therefore did not expect it would become so popular years later. Peter Burian took hundreds of autumn lane frames with a Nikon F90 in Kilbride, Burlington, Ontario, Canada during October 1999, as he was testing lenses for a photography magazine. There is also a vertical version both are no longer available on Getty Images or other stock photo sites with the exception of Photononstop. It depicts a road covered in leaves in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It was taken by Peter Burian in October 1999. Autumn, originally known as Autumn Leaves, is a wallpaper included in Windows XP, licensed from Corbis.
