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:-)

Much serenity in this superlative shot, Bill! There is such vivid clarity and deep color in this far-off panorama, that the subject matter looks like a setting of models in a small pond. And how do you like Fred255's avatar?

I love this. The color of the water is spectacular. Beautiful pano!

A wonderful Panorama! And the lighthouse, I feel, needs to be dead centre! Gorgeous blue sky too! A great picture. Well done, Bill. Rob.

Beautiful panoramic view. Much more attractive than the old London :) The rich colours are wonderful and it looks so clean. I imagine that it would look very pretty at sunset too. Excellent photo.

whew—what a shimmering shot! Man, I go away and you post all these amazing shots...First, the clarity of hues is beautiful. Very crisp, and the blues are wonderful. Second, it's Connecticut all the way. The architecture, the lighthouse, even the light. (I know, that light could be other places too, but New England has a certain 'diffuse' light, even in the sun. Hard to describe, but I'd have thought NEngland even if you hadn't told us...) And third, that water is to die for. Wonderful shot. I'm skipping all around, but I'll be back. I got to see your pre-digital and digital work all in one morning: You really go back with the camera. This is wonderful...
