Bob Ellis Photography: Bugs

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.

Bugs

So what do you do when you are bored and haven't had much photography time. Well, you go out and see what's in the garden. Take your camera and a 105mm f2.8 macro lens and a tripod. Actually, I found this guy this morning. It is the first tomato worm I've seen this garden season. I think it was voodood on me by a friend, or past friend, from work. He wished this upon me because I had such a great year of Heirloom Burgundy tomatoes. They have been so sweet and totally awesome on hamburgers. They have actually intermingled with my cheery tomatoes and this is what this guy is feasting on. Yummmmmm! He was a pretty good size too. At least 3.5 inches. I'm calling him a guy, because I don't think the ladies would like to be compared with one of these. Interesting creatures though. Maybe, you won't enjoy!
