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:-)

There is a lot going on in this image. The tuna have the edge and the swordfish will finish it.

Yeah Bill, Do'em all. I have the swans, well actually they are geese, but you can photoshop them into a passable state. Great shot of The 4 calling Birds Cheers and a Pat to Mandy, Skipper62

Nice shot Bill and the gulls in it make the picture.

Stellar clarity and vibrant contrasts in this wonderful composition, Bill! Fascinating that the gulls are all equally spaced. For the words to the 12 Days of Christmas song, go to: http://www.41051.com/xmaslyrics/twelvedays.html

Very cool title and what a scene. Starting to really eveny you your location Bill as I sit here on a very cold frosty night.

Great scene, it is amazing how little notice gulls take of humans and know exactly when there is a tit bit around and then they appear from nowhere.
MrsLubner
this is great. the clarity of the shot is pure and the subjects are varied making for a very interesting shot. Great job.
