" Day Two On Driftwood Beach "

This was day two on Driftwood beach. We wound up there both mornings at high tide, this was the first time I tried to shoot at high tidse. Next years workshops will all be timed for low tide at sunrise. This created a special problem, especially this morning as the tide was extra high. I had the distinct pleasure of standing in a fire ant hill long enough to get them all over my legs and had to shoot while being bittem every so often. No time to stop and worry about ants with this light. Hope you enjoy!!

"Back to Brunswick, GA"

I am hreaded back to Brunswick to pick up all my work. Will be photographing for the last time for a while on the coast of Georgia. I have never shot there in the winter, hoping for some clouds on the beach. Not to run it in the ground, but this is a wonderful place to shoot anytime you can. Jekyll Island is great for a lot of different opportunities, beach, dunes, marsh and of course the driftwood on Driftwood Beach. If ypu ever get the chance to go, don't miss it. Hope you enjoy!!

Won't be posting again until after Thanksgiving, unless I find time while on the beach.

Good Morning From "The Boneyard" !!

Well I finally got to post these great sunrise shots from "The Boneyard" on Jekyll Island. I've been meaning to for days, but things kept coming up. I can't wait to go back. I had decided I wasn't going to go back to the beach, but these have changed my mind.

As I have said already, if you get a chance to go here , DO NOT pass it up. It is the most photogenic place I've ever been in Georgia. I have a few driftwood shots coming next, so look for them later.

Couple More Pre Sunrise From The Boneyard!!

Just a couple more presunrise photos from "The Boneyard" on Jekyll Island. I still think this is one of the most photogenic areas in Georgia. If you get a chance to go there don't pass it up, it is an amazing place.

Jekyll Island is about 65 miles south of Savannah off I-95. The daily fee is $3.00 and that gets you access to the whole island. There are lots of photo ops, from the Jekyll Island Club, the Boneyard, the regular beach and on the south end are lots of dunes. Hope you get a chance to see this island.

Before Sunrise on Driftwood Beach!!

These are the first images I shot before sunrise on the beach at Jekyll Island. The first one shows a mud spot on the beach, which can only be seen at low tide. Last year when I was here the tide was never this low, so I never knew there was mud on the beach. I made the mistake of walking through this later and it is real mud.

The second image is the full moon about to set, before sunrise. This is one of my favorite shots from the beach. It was just cloudy enought to make this an interesting image. I love the detail in the mud in the foreground. I will post some sunrise shots later.

Afternoon on Driftwood Beach!!

The first afternoon on Driftwood Beach or The Boneyard as it is also known. This is an amazing place to photograph. I was last here in July 2007 to shoot a wedding on this beach. I got the chance to come back this year and shot these in the afternoon. My plans were to come back before sunrise the next morning.

These trees are victims of beach erosion and storms. It is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long and is totally covered with downed live oaks If you ever get a chance to go to this spot on Jekyll Island, GA don't hesitate. I will post some sunrise shots tomorrow morning.

Recovering!!

Sorry for the delay in posting, but I'm still recovering from my 4AM till 10PM three day shoot in coastal Georgia. Nobody deserves to have so much fun. Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island and Savannah in 3 days and we just scratched the surface.

I also set the dates for my show at the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association. The show will be hanging in The Ritz theatre in downtown Brunswick, GA. Directions and address to follow closer to the show.

Below is the first image I shot before sunrise at the Boneyard on Jekyll Island. We shot for about 3 hours and really had a blast. More images tto follow later.
