• 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—…

• Landscape photography

  Mixed feelings about re-branding wilcephotos I am in the midst of branding or re-branding wilcephotos. Hence I have temporariliy de-activated my Shopify store. Let me tell you about it. The sequence of three doctored photos below says a lot about my feelings about re-branding wilcephotos, my business identity/ FB Business page with a new focus…

• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

  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…

• 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…

• Moonset in the Mountains 17March2022

  Until recently, a huge frustration in shooting the bright moon and its dimmer context was this— I could 1) brighten the whole image in order to make the context visible, washing out the features of the moon, 2) dim the moon and make the context even less visible, or 3) use a brush to change…
