• WilcePhotos Sells Landscape!

  Wow, someone in California just bought a 36×12″ print of a photo I took while visiting my hometown, Claremont. Here is the announcement on Fine Art America! Given my goal, of re-branding myself and my work, emphasizing landscape photographs, this is very encouraging. Thank you so much for your encouragement! A gift for you now—…

• 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…

  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.

• 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…
