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:-)

Excellent! See this really is very easy to do. I should become a teacher. "Just may be the first time my grandson has been chased by a little blondie..." But NOT for the last time! 8~)

LOL @ the blondie chase... Agreeing with David - this is not the last time... He is a very handsome young man... Great use of selective coloring! :)

Delightful! I still haven't mastered this selective stuff, too much to learn all at once!

Great play with the selective colouring! I like the look of this image, and it certainly highlights for us, perhaps the most apparently important subjects! Excellent idea and creation! Most precious and cute!

Wonderful shot. What a fine looking young man... I'll bet it will not be the last time he is chased by a good looking blond. Seems to me that there was a TV personality in Charleston, who was associated with the Sports Car Club that thought his grandpa was a pretty neat dude. Cheers, Skipper

Selective coloring can be a great way to bring drama and interest into a photo and you've done a wonderful job of it here.

There is some work on that, but the results are amazing! I love to do that! You did an excellent job, Bill! P.S. My grandson is chased 24/7/365 by his blonde sister... :))
