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:-)

Move to the UK Bill, plenty over here. Beautiful building probably built at a time when cost wasn't the leading factor.

What a beautiful old building! Looks like they've been taking good care of it. Your photograph is great - that blue sky is a striking backdrop!

Wonderful POV of this imposing facade,and ideal use of the polariser to bring out the blues of the sky

You have done a really fine job with the colours, my friend. Nice, bright, vivid! Great POV as well. Well done. The Quiz was a Me110 by the way....you were right! Good call! Rob.

Up north you'll find a lotta brick buildings... check Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee and all these old large cities! Excellent shot, Bill... love the composition!

Beautiful shot!

Very nicely seen. Wonderful contrasts and that gorgeous blue sky. Just like we have today. That trim paint really sets off the design, too.

High tech in its time...and some great colors in the image...
MrsLubner
It looks nearly new to me. Such a great job of patch I hardly noticed it. Our old brick buildings here in town are slapped back together, sometimes in the most horrid ways. :-) Gorgeous upward view.

Stellar POV, clarity, colors, lighting and textures in this magnifico capture, Bill! Ornate edifice, built just in time for the Civil War. Contrasts well against the relatively dark sky.
