• Underexposed?

  or dark, rich, moody? I admit it— I love my “underexposed” images. I succumb to what one of my generous mentors calls “the religion of low light.” Why? The colors are so darned rich! The downside? They are “noisy”! (Noise is to digital images as “grainy” was to film images.) Here are two of my…

  Hi! Many of my photos are now downloadable, free, here— https://www.pexels.com/@jim-wilce-423947101 I love shooting, and I love sharing what I shoot. But does it seem strange to give away photos that I post for sale elsewhere? One “fstoppers” expert claims the free versions don’t compete with the commercial products. We’ll see. The key is you…

• Jim’s thoughts on composition– Red Rocks Photo(s)

  Composition to me means coming up with a photo design, or shape, that makes the heart of the photo speak clearly. Sedona red rocks are a popular subject for photographers. I love the “whole”, the mid-sized crop, and the final crop. Here’s the long view. Gorgeous subject, right? Below is the second crop, from the…

• Playing, Part II

  Yesterday (6th May), inspired by Jeff Goulden and Mike Smith on Fstoppers, I shot my first panorama on a camera (having tried without much luck shooting panoramas on my phone). It was hurried, playful, non-serious. Fun! Both Jeff and Mike suggested shooting panoramas handheld would work, and that’s what I tried. As Mike said, just…
