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:-)

NIce of this Carolina bird to visit Kansas---I love the green background, just makes all his colors brighter and more beautiful.

I've heard that the Carolina Chamber of Commerce, has passed the word, to all the Carolina chickadees, that there is a feeding station, in Kansas, that has a great new mix of seeds. Wonderful bird series (so far) and another great capture. Dana

One of my favorites at the feeders but they are hard to catch with the light to catch the glent in the eye, You've caught this one with great detail and great light beautiful capture!!

Great I dont see many here once it warms up seems they avoid the other birds or theres better feed. Winter they all but come in the house and can be hand fed.
