" End Of 2009, Moving On In 2010 "

Just wanted to let everyone know that my blog is moving to a new location. It is now tied to my new website at http://mikenalleyphotography.com where you will have to click on Mikes Blog to access the new blog. Once there you can bookmark the new site so you can bypass the web homepage if you like. The website is brand new and I would appreciate any feedback you could give me on both, I would really appreciate it very much. Thanks for all the time you haave spent here with me.

" Last Hurrah "

Just a few more images of Darrell, James and Pops. These guys made for an enjoyable day with the guys on the workshop. They were very friendly and helped to explain the ins and outs of seining for mullet and shrimp. Hope you enjoy!!

" The Fruits of Their Labor "

A pretty good haul this time, more mullet than shrimp. In their neighborhood mullet is king. These guys had so much fun doing this that it was basically play to them. Of course the beer between pulls was good too. Hope you enjoy!!

" Shrimpers "

Darrel and James were seining for shrimp with a net made by Pops. They had been up all night drinking and were still having a Natural Light after every trip out. I had never seen this done and it was fascinating and very hard work. After about an hour they had about 10 lbs. of shrimp and 60 lbs. of mullet. They spent almost the whole day with their nets and they had great luck. Thanks for letting us share in the experience. Hope you enjoy!!

" Pops "

Pops is the local net maker and repairman. We met him on Saturday of our workshop as he was setting up to work on his nets and try to gain more business. A happier soul you have never met. He was a wonderful person and a joy to photograph. Hope you enjoy!!

" Out In The Woods "

Three interesting images from the maritime forest on Jekyll Island. All three are HDR images, two are converted in Silver Efex Pro. I really enjoyed photographing in the forest this trip, as I have mever tried to move into the woods before. I really got some good images this time. Hope you enjoy!!

" The Swing "

This is a very cool swing on Jekyll Island. It has been here for a long time and is used quite often. The textures of the rope and the trees it is tied to are amazing. Luckily it was very cool or the bugs will carry you away. Hope you enjoy!!
