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.

Bodie Historic Park

It's been about 20 years since my last visit to Bodie.  Diane and I stopped this last Sunday for a few hours.  I can see where the elements have changed the place considerably.  I was remembering the first visit to Bodie years ago and how different it was then.  I will have to go to my storage and try to find the old slides I took.  When I visited the first time, there was just me and a couple of friends.  It's popularity has increased quite a bit.  Diane and I enjoyed our visit and I hope to do it again soon.  I seemed to have focused on the inside of the buildings rather that the building themselves.  I think Diane saw more of the buildings than I did.  She wandered around while I took pictures.  I waited patiently for others to move out of the pictures before I took mine.  I have to laugh, another photographer told me, when I asked if I was in her way, that she had photoshop and wasn't worried about it.  I have enough to do, I don't need to remove people.  Especially when I use my vintage effects.  It makes a more interesting image.  Well, I'm rattling on and you might want to see what I saw, or what I found interesting.  So enjoy!
