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.

More Bugs!

Again today...I was out looking at the garden and bringing in the crops when I saw a rustling in the marigolds.  When I looked closer, I saw that a praying mantis had just grabbed a honey bee and started chomping down on its face.  Yes, a little morbid, but part of the cycle of life.  I ran into the house and grabbed my camera and macro lens and ran back out there and saw this bee being :o) devoured.  (I know Joann, I'm not much of a PR person, but I love to write about my experiences).  Before I finished the photo session, the bee was almost gone.  What an amazing site.  Interesting to see.  You want to see?  LOOK below!  Enjoy!
