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:-)

How clever, Bill!! I'd like to see a pic of yesterdays without the postwork so I can do some 'windowshopping'.
drace68
Too much scary fun.
fredster66
Really cool Bill. The only thing I would have done here was to clone out the wires right.

Ya got some pretty weird places in Kansas, Sport. Don't go in PJ, it's a setup. Am I seeing things or is that something peeping through the window on the side? I'm getting out of here and heading to the hills of GA. Don't give me any heat about it being strange just because "Deliverance" was filmed there. Oh, great work you did a great job. Fred, he invited me up to see him and left the wires in so I could used them as a trap for stopping the airplane. Have a great weekend all,

LOL Now you'd be scaring me a little bit, but I notice the windows aren't broken out and I feel better. We're going to get that chain saw lady!

very humorous Bill and outstanding post work
MrsLubner
I didn't think anyone noticed me. Snakes, Ronnie? Oh,no... I use a lawn mower on snakes... Chain saws are for LARGER subjects... LOL! I do love the horror film feel to this. And, Bill, don't fret over those electric lines... I took care of them before I left. :-)

Wonderful work! These are so creative and beautiful ... dare I hope for more? (You know, it's just a good idea to watch out for PJ in general.) :)

Neat work...!!!!

Oh wow now this one does appear spooky, and if that is PJ with the dreaded saw, then perhaps I won't hang around. Great postwork again Bill, hugs Jane xx thanks for your lovely comments on my latest :O)x

Splendid composition and colors my friend
goodoleboy
Oh yes, the eerie concepts you can conjure up with the Photoshop Invert adjustment. Lots of vivid stuff in this one, Bill! I like the comblike effects on the side of the store.
npauling
You'd need to brave to go into this eerie looking store. Great effects here to give this a whole new feel.
