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:-)

A motley crew indeed! Did you know that many species of ducks interbreed freely and produce all sorts of mixed race types? Only one Mallard in the whole lot here!
Hubba1
Awesome, Love the white ones :)

A real mixed bunch! Well done on getting out there! Cheers, Clive

What a variety! I've never seen such a thing. We pretty much just have mallards here. This might be more fascinating than you had imagined! (I like the one in the back on the far right.)

seems they have been cross breeding. beautiful scene. we went almost a month with gray skies and had a break for one day.now it is gray again with flooding

Ducks all seem to have the same look about them regardless of their age, color or breed...They are very open to whatever they see and curious about everything. Great shot.

The Grand Tour in evidence here. Stellar clarity, contrast, composition and rippled water reflections in this shot, Bill! The water looks as black as India ink.

Wow, great duck collection and it looks like they all bred with each other which is weird, but cool.
