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:-)

Amazing filter work on this Bill and great organ.. superb shot I imagine they have had to repair it once or twice in its life time.. Excellent!!

Wonderful work. I love filters and the ways in which you can change the ordinary (and even things dating back to the 1300s are ordinary!) into something...new, surprising, and wholly original. I love the light and color combinations here. Everything looks so open and spacious. Wonderfully captured and tweaked. Great, heady stuff! I'm particularly taken by the way this resembles an illustration in a beautifully designed book...something fit for a rich person's cocktail table.

First Flood, and now this amazing filter, expertly used, along with the good POV, to create this excellent image, Bill! I wonder if I should inquire, like I've done in the past, where you obtained the abstractor filter.

Great effect and outcome with this particular filter! You made this subject into something most unique and fascinating to look at! Awesome depth and colour, Bill! Fantastic idea and composition!
