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:-)

Beautiful play of light, it appears to be dancing and congrats on number 100!

Fine outcome. Congratulations on 100th post: this is very good photography. Ideally, I suppose the edges of the leaves and branches would be sharper - but that's partly my own taste. This is a beautiful piece of photography: light, shadow, and all.

A virtual ethereal silhouetted capture of this early morning autumn scene, Bill. Polarizing really helps under these lighting conditions. Congratulations on reaching the big One-Oh-Oh!

Fantastic image for a 100th upload Bill!!! Congrats my friend. I love the rays through the trees. I would try and burn the image a little - it might bring out the golden coloring as well as "brighten" the rays. Dont know if it will work, but it's worth a try!!!
