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:-)

Beautiful shot.

Great shot!! I agree with "whaleman" -- she does have a bit of a ruffled look and the Male did have a rather go get'em stare about him...

EXCELLENT SHOT! I'm abstaining from any unholy feminist thought about why the male is much more garish ;O))))

Never noticed before, but her chest covering looks a lot like fur, rather than feathers.
lyron
Fantastic shot!!

She is so pretty, love the orange beak, caught while eating her lunch.

Persistance pays off. What with the great POV, clarity, colors, focus, lighting and super textures, easily one of your best bird captures in this one, Bill.

She looks as though she visited the beauty parlour before lining up for this capture, isn't she gorgeous, and what a great capture.

Bill! One of those 'Raven' moments! Massive detail and you don't know how! Bit of luck...bit of skill! She is a real beauty! Maybe the star of your portfolio, so far? Rob (Sorry late comment! Bit Down. Ha! )
