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:-)

Great shot. Peaceful yet with turmoil in the distance. Nicely done.

You have to view full size to really appreciate the difference. Looks so peaceful but what's to come. This really is a great moment you've captured Bill.

A superb capture, excellent work

Impressive ! It's actually the colour of the sky that spells "storm", and then the wake in the background. P

I love the way water finds its own excitment - like it does here. Towering on one spot, gentle in another. Love the pov on this one and the excellent composition.

Run for the hills! Isn't that typical of an approaching tsunami? Fine gray mood effects in this neat composition, Bill.
