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:-)

You're right about the zoom, Bill. This is near Leavenworth recently? Our dogwoods (Tulsa) have been in full bloom for going on 10 days now. The azaleas are burgeoning with blossoms.

Love how the branches shine, and the color, too. Superb!

Sharp clarity plus stellar branch and limb lighting effects really pop this arboreal giant out against the relatively dark sky, Bill. And, I zoomed in on it for full appreciation of the image and your efforts.

Nice looking colours in the sun. It's just about ready!! Doesn't look that happy right at the very top though..... Brilliant clear sky. What I wouldn't do for one of those here! Take care and great picture. Rob.

really good work Bill, I love how the small branches are all shimmering & white, against the darker large branches & trunk. This is a real early spring shot, sinewy & thread-like, and looking like it's ready to bloom. Don't know how you get the light on shots like these, but it's beautiful. Perfect for a cold spring morning!

wow, this is cool, love it against the blue sky

FANTASTIC SHOT!
Pannyhb
beautiful shot, and I love the fractal nature of the branches - so much easier to see before the leaves pop out:)
auntietk
