" 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!!

" The Marsh "

Back on the marsh. A little different approach that I enjoy trying now and then. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly it doesn't, but these turned out really nice, I think. Comment and let me know what you think. Basically you have to move the camera in a planned way and it is always different. Different ways and amounts to move. Hope you enjoy!!

" 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!!

" Jekyll Island Forest "

What beautiful light we had in the live oak forests. This makes for such a warm, cool contrast. I had tried to capture some good images out in these areas last year, but I really didn't pull it off until this trip. Hope you enjoy!!

" On The Dunes "

On the dunes for our second morning at Jekyll. Nice sunny harsh light, great for sand shots and not a whole lot of anything else. Hope you enjoy!!

" The Marsh "

Here are a couple of marsh images that were taken after sunrise on our first day on Jekyll Island. Both were converted using Silver Efex Pro from an HDR image. I really thought I would be wasting my time to try and cross this area, but found out even at high tide it was only a couple inches deep. I am so glad I did because no one else was willing to try, so I have the only imageas from out in this marsh. Hope you enjoy!!

" Two More From The Beach "

These two were done a little later in the sunrise. The first is an HDR done just before sunrise and the second is a little different. It was shot with a faster shutter to stop the shrimp boat. Hope you enjoy!!

" Sunrise "

Never forget to turn around during sunrise. As beautiful as the sunrise on the driftwood, the trees behind me were equally as beautiful. Hope you enjoy!!

" Jekyll Island-Day Two "

Here are a couple of images made at Driftwood Beach on the second morning of our workshop. It was fairly cild and a little bit windy, but the images were great. We met at the parking lot at 5:15 AM, and started shooting at about 5:30. The secret is to be there long before sunrise and stay until just after when the light gets too harsh. Hope you enjoy!!

" Jekyll Island "

The last of the windy, dreary day one of the workshop. Still all in all a great afternoon for shooting. The light was soft and even and great for beach, dunes and marshes. Hope you enjoy!!

" Jekyll Workshop Day One "

What a day this was, cloudy and windy, the wind was gusting to about 40mph. The froth was blowing across the beach like crazy and it was cold. Beautiful day to start a workshop, actually the sky was amazing. I will be posting more all week, hope you enjoy!!

" Ocmulgee River Bridge "

This image was taken on the way back from my Jekyll Island Fall Workshop. This is a beautiful bridge and very old. I actually saw it on the way down and just didn't have time to stop. The water was a little high, so I couldn't get the view I wanted. Images from the workshop to follow in the coming days.

We had a great time and came back with some amazing images. The weather was unreal with highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's. I only had 3 participants, but I only had room for 5. A great time had by all. Hope you can join us for a later workshop.
