FORTUNATE!
[FORTUNATE PHOTOGRAPHER!] (That’s my answer to WordPress’s question of the day, “What is one word that describes you?” I am SO HAPPY to share this with you– my photo has now been featured by three wonderful Fine Art America groups– Panoramas, The Outdoor Photographer, and Out West! https://jim-wilce.pixels.com/featured/panoramic-view-of-dawn-clouds-over-mountain-jim-wilce.html SECOND… I feel very lucky just to…

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…

Free: Three versions of bumblebee at white vetch flowers
I am loving giving some of my photos away on Pexels.com, with the understanding that those who are inspired to do so will make a contribution to this extremely dedicated photographer, photo editor, videographer, etc. Here are three versions of a photograph of a tricolored (Hunt’s?) bumblebee hovering by white vetch flowers. (Vetches are in…

Bee healthy!
Honeybees, hive killers, and vaccines Without pollinators, we might not have food. With pollinators come food and beauty. Beauty like this — https://jim-wilce.pixels.com/featured/the-blue-knighthood-of-bees-jim-wilce.html or this freebie for y’all At a time when disease is wiping out whole insect colonies, a new vaccine shows promise in fighting the bacteria that have been destroying honeybee colonies.

wilcephotos on Pexels
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…

Thank you Fine Art America! (Apologies for repeated attempts to get the link below to work, resulting in duplicate…

Cinder Cones And Clouds: Original And “Final”
If you liked the Ravens shots, before and after editing, you’ll love this pairing. On 10/15/22 around sunset on a cold, cloudy day, I drove from home (elevation 7000′) to the Arizona Snowbowl (elevation 9200). This photo was shot on “my return to ground” closer to 7000′. You will see that my edits involved brightening…

Ravens: Showing You Originals And Final Versions
Sometimes it is interesting for photographer and audience to compare unedited or original versions with their “final” counterparts. (My images are almost never final, but always potential subjects for reworking.) Here I show you two raven photos that I just uploaded to Fine Art America, but you get to see what FAA folks do not–…

Buy a digital copy of this rock squirrel photo!
Rock squirrels are small rodents in the squirrel family, with short ears, and fur that blends with their preferred places to hang out—on large rocks. Yesterday (5 September) I posted this video to YouTube. The squirrels in the video might well be siblings. Here in Flagstaff Arizona where I filmed them, it seems that all…

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…
