UPDATED:Ā September 19, 2010
Hi, My name is Bill andĀ 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.Ā We share aĀ loveĀ for photography and indeed all types of art.
We live north of Seattle and enjoy getting toĀ share photographic excursions and informationĀ withĀ other Renderositians ( isĀ "Renderositians" evenĀ a word? ).Ā LOL
Ā
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) cameraĀ until May 2008.Ā InĀ May 2009Ā I upgraded from an Olympus E-510 to an Olympus E-30 with a wide variety of lenses.
Ā
My subject areas of interestĀ include absolutely everything but with a frequentĀ return toĀ airplanes, cars, tanks, etc., ...or as Tara says, machines that make lots of noise;-)
Ā
If you are curious,Ā I am pictured aboveĀ in a Grumman Corsair on a taxiway of the Kansas City Downtown Airport.Ā IĀ used to flyĀ and train others to fly airplanes.Ā ThatĀ will explain my frequent forays into the world of aviation.Ā Last but by no means least, thanks to Pannyhb for introducing me to Renderosity. The moment I saw it I was hooked.

Wonderful scene. Great mood created by the combination of spring trees and long shadows.

So very serene. Great pov and composition!

So beautiful! It's interesting that even if I didn't know, I should expect this to be in the US not Europe...something to do with the picket fence, and the style of house I expect!

Wonderful, Bill. Dk has it right about Spring colors and long shadows. Also I notice how the blooming dogwood almost "echoes" the handsome white house.

Beautiful rest. Can I wonder why some of the bricks are on their sides with holes to the air? Excellent photo.

Bill this is wonderful. Great composition and a great subject. I could spend a day on that bench with a good boat and thermos of coffee. Maybe a couple of sandwiches too.

Crisp, clear, colorful, a stellar DOF, and dig that picket fence and those terrific shadows in the foreground! Beachzz can sit in the shade on that nearby bench and recharge her batteries while she's gone.
