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:-)

Excellent image Bill, clever, the way you got the sea gulls to stay below the horizon too :) I really like these sort of views, there's more there than you first realise.Thanks Bill.

You illustrate the point well - pardon the pun. It sounds like you are formulating a future challenge here. It's a very educative topic and worth dusting off.

Very nicely done, Bill, I like how you have chosen to place the end of the dock just below the horizon. Nice perspective.

I did a drawing on perspective in college for art class. It can get pretty tricky at times. I think this is a wonderful idea.

Ya done yourself proud with this one. Outstanding. Agree with you on the lower the horizon or raise the end of dock... Wonderful piece of art without the change. Come on over, trout are running in the streams and the leaves are changing on the hills...Great Photo Ops. Skipper Broke wing fighter jock
