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:-)

This is indeed a beautiful photo. I'm betting your grandson had the time of his life and it was equally thrilling for you too Bill.

Lovely picture. Perfectly posed too. Bet your grandson loved it as well. Did you? You don't happen to know the name of the birds? (Birds are my other 'thing') Cheers mate Rob.

What kind of birds? I have to confess...I missed the sign. It is so easy to take a quick snapshot of a sign and I am doing that now when I know I'll want the info later. If I come across the facts on these two...I'll let you and Rob (above) know what I find :-) Bill

Super stellar clarity, colors, contrast and feather textures in this magnificent shot of the two love birds, Bill! Also, kudos on the color-matching frame. Although without a size reference it is difficult to tell whether these are parrots or parakeets.
