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:-)

Okay, great image with multiple lighting sources. Your shutter was open 13 seconds, so how did you make the photo?

Superlative lighting effects place this lovely bouquet in the exquisite category, Bill! The yellow roses, possibly from Texas, really pop out in this beautiful compo.

amazing how you got the petals to 'sing', the light seeming to emanate from within as well as from outside the petals in this shot...and the dappled light off the leaves & the bow really do feel like the work of the older oil painters. Another fine piece of light work from you; quite fine!

very effective use of light. The colours are superb. I like the black background too as it gives it that exquisite touch. Super work!
