Bob Ellis Photography



I am a part-time professional photographer. I love landscape, seascape and wildlife photography. This has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and will be for as long as I can click the shutter. I try to photograph an image and present it as close to reality as possible. However, I realize that a camera doesn't necessarily project the image as the eye sees it. With today's technology, I am able to adjust a photographic image to what I saw while taking the photograph. That's not to say I don't work sometimes in a more abstract or "artistic" direction. Some may call me a photographic artist. That is what I am.

April Surprises (con't) Flowers

I thought I'd share some of the flowers I've photographed during April.  Some OK some awesome!  you've already seen the "White Glove Lily"  but I will post it again in case you didn't see it the first time.


"White Globe Lily"

The rest of them were taken on the road to and from Oregon.  Some from my back yard and some in the California redwoods.  Sort of a potpourri.


"Holly Grape"

I took this photo in April and they are the grapes from the yellow flowers I took in January.  It was fascinating to watch the transformation.  These are just now getting totally ripe.  The dark blue color.  I think this image is more interesting.  I didn't take a photograph when they were all ripe.  I still might.  We'll see.  Here is a re-post of the plant in bloom.
