• It’s great when other photographers notice!

  Fine Art America (FAA) is a wonderful artists’ community. We photographers post our work there— and, often, to sell it. But the other reward for good work is the community’s recognition. It has warmed my heart to get such recognition! And by a variety of the marvelous groups in FAA. I have gathered some of…

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

  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…
