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:-)

This is an awesome capture Bill. This must have been before the new seed mix. Zoom in - he doesn't have his happy face on. :>) Dana
THROBBE
Such a cool capture Bill! Have not had much luck yet with my seed though...

So gorgeous and the likeness to a golfer is right. A super action shot. My birds are like this too, and the shrewd birds are the ones that browse underneath for a feed as they get to have plenty.

"In his last round he topped out finishing on a birdie, and he looks like he's going to do that again" LOL...Excellent capture bud, truley one of your very best my friend!

Dose look like he's looking for just the right seed, LOL. Excellent fun capture and I can see the golfer thing too!!
MrsRatbag
Fantastic action shot, Bill! Messy little buggers, aren't they? What a great capture!

A whirling dervish of activity here with the woodpecker going at it at full intensity. Fine shot, Bill!

Great shot and title! Very emphatic isn't he!
babuci
Very messy business or he just spreading a seeds for others who can not get to the bowl. Either way good action photo.

debbielove
The pilot comes into finals ...speed to high, flaps lowered... See's the field, aims... Then realising his mistake, tries to pull up and..... CRASH... straight into the dish full of seeds!!! Brilliant! Love it. Rob.

tennesseecowgirl
looks like he is tapping his feet. or what ever you call them lol and entertaining you... or juggling the seeds very cute shot.
auntietk
Great action shot! He has good form, coming up out of that sand trap. This little fellow might be hoping for an eagle, but he might have to settle for a birdie. Love the way he's making that seed fly!
