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.

"Mariposa Barn"

I was driving through my old neighborhood today and saw this barn.  We moved from the area in 1985 when we purchased the home we still live in today.  I lived in this neighborhood for five years and never noticed it.  There was a huge tree in front of it when I lived there, and that is probably why I never saw it.  I had just finished taking some portraits and camera was sitting on the back seat and I said to Diane, did you see that barn?  I have to go back a take pictures.  I loved it and the picture I took of it.  I just had to share.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Looking through images of the year

While looking through my images of this past year,  I feel I've had wonderful and successful experiences.  Not only the time I've spent with my best friend and wife Diane, but also the travel we've shared.  Maybe I wasn't so successful in sales, but I was in inspiration, education, composition, color and last but not least, meeting many photographers and artist friends.  Thanks for the inspiration, and confidence I got from all your suggestions, and from sharing your images and experiences.  Every year I get a stronger feeling for my photography.  I'm inspired more and more when looking at other artist works. I can't wait for next year, for new experiences and wonderful images.  So thank you again.  I truly love photography and being able to share my experiences with you.

"Looking Through The Trees" How can you not. There is more to see over each mountain.


Have a safe and merry holiday you celebrate and a happy New Year.  Mine is Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Christ.
