" You Big DUMMY!! "

In case you haven't noticed, my images have been looking a little funky for about 2 weeks. I just realized yesterday that my export box in Lightroom had been changed to Pro Photo RGB instead of sRGB, hence the weird colors. Hope this helps anyone who has that problem in the future. No that is not me and my family in the photo, it's my exwife and her new husband, LOL. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence Canyon "

A couple of remaining images from the April workshop. On to bigger and better things. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence Canyon Bottom "

What a view from the bottom. These images were taken at the workshop in April. Still far and above one of my favorite places in Georgia to photograph. It is convenient yet so fullfilling to shoot. Visit if you get the chance. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence Methodist "

The sanctuary at Providence Methodist Church. The church is very old and had to be rolled on logs away from the edge of the canyon to keep from falling into the canyon. The sanctuary is normally open, but they ask please to only take photos and only leave footprints. If you get a chance go by and see it. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence HDR "

This is the only HDR I shot on the Providence Canyon workshop, but it turned out really well. I spent almost all my time teaching the people how to produce HDR's. We had a great time and came away with lots of images and new ideas. Come join us in June at Cades Cove in Tennessee. You can get details by email.

" More Providence Cars "

In a hurry today, shooting in NW GA. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence Workshop "

The Providence Workshop went really well, except the rain on Sunday. We spent the first day around and in the canyon. I taught exposure and the Zone System for digital. It was a great learning experience for the photographers. I will be posting some images from the workshop over the next few days. Hope you enjoy!!

We are presenting our first summer workshop at Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains on June 13-14, 2009. Details will follow or you can email me at mike@mnalleyphoto.com. The cost is $225 for two full days, also Saturday night will be download and critique of images shot on Saturday.

" Wisteria "

A very common thing right now, but you better hurry. It like all flowers only last so long. This shot was taken a couple weeks ago when it was first starting to bloom. What a beautiful color of purple. Get em while you can, they will be gone soon. Hope you enjoy!!

" The Pole "

Just a quick Friday post, not much time today. Hope you like this shot of an old light pole. It was also shot off Hwy 136 on the way to The Pocket.

" The Rod "

Something you hardly ever see anymore, except on tall buildings. Lightning rods were once a normal part of homes, this home was out in a pretty big field in the open. I really liked the graphic qualities of this shot and the blue of the sky. Taken off Hwy 136 on the way to The Pocket. Hope you enjoy!!

" Cracked "

Just a quick, fun post this morning. I am shooting for the city of Dallas this morning, don't have a whole lot of time, but wanted to get something up. This was taken at High Shoals a couple weeks ago. Loved the graphic qualities. Hope You enjoy!!

" A Local Landmark "

Just a quick post this rainy, yucky Monday morning. I have some work to get ready for Mable House, World of Art show, but wanted to get in a post. Hope you enjoy!!

" Bamboo "

Well, from bright and colorful to dark and forboding. This bamboo field contains some of the largest and oldest I have ever seen. Most of it is as big as my thigh. It is fairly hard to get around in side of, you have to twist and turn to maneuver. Just something new for me. Hope you enjoy!!

" Last of the Wildflowers "

Such beauty in the wild. This is the last of the flowers for awhile, all these photos in a 4 hour shoot at The Pocket. Go next year if you get the chance, it's unbeleivable. Hope you enjoy!!

" Red Trillium "

A beautiful and simple wildflower. The mottled green and the blood red bloom, what a contrast. They were everywhere. Hope you enjoy!!

" More From The Pocket "

A few more from "The Pocket". These images are just too cool not to continue. As i have said before, if you get a chance to visit here DO NOT pass it up. It is amazing. Hopr you enjoy!!

" More From The Pocket "

Just some more beauty from "The Pocket" in NW Georgia. Great place that is in full bloom right now. My friend Bill was there Tuesday and it was perfect. Hope you enjoy!!

" Bluebells at The Pocket "

Ahhh spring, the time for wildflowers. This was my second trip to "The Pocket" in NW Georgia. The premier place to shoot wildflowers in the state of Georgia. It is located west of Lafayette, GA off Highway 193. Go to Davis Crossroads, hang a left on Hogjowl RD, go just past the dairy barn and turn left on Pocket Rd to the end. It is a beautiful place with tons of wildflowers and a crekk, waterfall and some great forest. Go if you get the chance, March and early April are the best. Hope you enjoy!!

" Providence Canyon Workshop Openings "

I have 3-4 openings still left in the workshop this weekend (April 4-5, 2009). We will be shooting all day Saturday at the canyon, Sunday we will shoot in Lumpkin, GA and later at Westville, GA an 1800's working town.
