Hi, My name is Bill and I am updating my homepage to reflect a wonderful event in my life...marriage, September 18, 2010, to my best friend Tara...known to many of you as auntietk here on Renderosity.
We "met" shortly after I joined Renderosity in August 2008. We share a love for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting to share photographic excursions and information with other Renderositians ( is "Renderositians" even a word? ). LOL
As for me, it seems like I've been taking pictures all my life but I didn't get serious enough to purchase my first Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera until May 2008. In May 2009 I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
My subject areas of interest include absolutely everything but with a frequent return to airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
If you are curious, I am pictured above in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport. I used to fly and train others to fly airplanes. That will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation. Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.
Fine print: Yes, the photo above is a photo manipulation:-)

Nice fly-by. I have the same problem with lighting. Clouds dont't help check out my Andrews AFB flights.

An awesome capture! The Corsair is one of my most favorite aircrafts, and the Hornet is a mean looking bird when coming straight on. I love aviation and would love to fly if it were ever made affordable to do so. For now I'll sit on the sidelines and admire such photos of wonderful aircraft such as what you're capturing and posting. I'm also getting as many as possible myself though they are few and far between. Oh, and you're knowledge of aircraft is very refreshing. You made a comment on an image and apologized in a way, for maybe giving too much info. on the aircraft. I find your knowledge very refreshing.
