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:-)

Indeed, the late afternoon light has something magical about it, makes everything looks a little unreal, but amazing.. wonderful work! Thx for sharing! 5+

Hills! My knowledge of US geography is atrocious, but I did have an image of flat Kansas! This is so beautiful,and I love the orange twigs on the willows at the ditch.

Nice image of rural Americana - the cattle on the slope make this picture even more interesting.

Great picture with such beautiful colours! A must see in full size. Brings out loads of little details, such as the old lorry/trailer thing in front of the barn half hidden from view! Beautiful. Rob.

Beautiful color tones of this lovely old barn nestled at the base of the soft undulating hill. Beautiful light and composition, Bill, and the the russet color on the bare bush in the right foreground is especially lovely!

Gorgeous landscape. I see Spring all over that tree, too. Not long, now.

Beautiful shot. Proof that with the camera in the right hands, the sun at the right angle, even the winter landscapes can be beautiful and colorful. Good Show.

There is such a fabulous mood here ... the cattle on the hill in repose bring the eye from front to back in one gentle sweep.
