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:-)

Superb clarity and lighting effects in this masterful blend of Bluejay pics, Bill! I do believe that's how Superman takes to the sky also. Again, a reminder of a McDonnell Douglas Harrier jet.

yeah maybe the background's a bit dark, but in such on-the-spot photography you don't have a lot of choice. The two bird shots are beautiful, clarity on the still shot (beautiful capture of the changing patterns & hues of its feathers); and the flight shot is sumptuous. I don't know another word. It has the quality of 18th & 19th C. glass or basalt sculpture, precious, delicate and beautiful, even though it's in motion and has the requisite slight lack of focus that accompanies split second motion-shots. The composition brings out the precariousness of flight, how the bird looks like he's struggling to stay airborne (even though he's not struggling); we get to see the flash-fastness of flight. And the light-source behind them gives a nice counterpart to the dark background. Love the shot, and it's representative of all your motion montages.
