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:-)

Wonderful and very creative work

bee-yootiful!! I'm a sucker for these macro shots - your colors here are just terrific - not over saturated and extremely pleasing. The DOF works perfectly here, with the colors of the bee and the yellow-toned background. Your composition is also primo!

A great shot taken with your usual skill Bill but I couldn't zoom in on this one. I hate bees and wasps lol.

Splendid macro, apparently taken through an electron microscope because of its extreme clarity and detail. Excellent composition, Bill!

I usually look for other critters in the zoo here because of the limited ability to make a clear unobstructed capture without dealing with chain link wire.excellent macro
