Outdoors with a Sony camera

Cloudy skies shot with Sony gear Between Wednesday and Friday (1/15 and 1/17/23) I did some “higher learning”– focusing high in the sky, and I felt like I was taking a college course, learning a bit about Sony mirrorless camera and lensl. Specifically, I rented an a7R IV camera with 100-400mm lens. I thoroughly enjoyed…

Skip down to the bottom if you want to cut to the chase, but this story is fun… I once sang as “Jinx” in “Forever Plaid” with my barbershop quartet. Forever Plaid is a silly ’50s or ’60s throwback musical, but we four guys sang our hearts out! The photo here is of a very…

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.

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.
