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:-)

Looks like a popular place and I'm not surprised.One of those places that seems to exist just to be photographed.Great capture Bill.

A lovely place. The water is beautiful and so are the rock formations and colors.

Aye, most of Long Island is formed by the scrapings of New England pushed south by the ice sheets. Nice pic to have the foreground boulder with limonite stain leading the arc to the point with people.

I've read a lot about Long Island and even had a friend in college from Long Island but this is the first time I have seen it. I even made a model of the Long Island Memorial Parkway and rendered it with a car model I made. I think the portion I depicted was just before you got to the actual Long Island.

Joli ce paysage!

Great shot. I was somewhat taken back before reading your comments..I was expecting something else. You said you were heading to Lake Perry. Thought you must have taken the wrong turn and ended up on the Yellow Brick Road to OZ. Cheers, Skipper62
