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:-)

Perhaps this is the beginning of a long and productive friendship. My robins have chosen their mates already! The red feeders are a great choice for a photographer.

Well, whatever it is, they appear to be QUITE disapproving! LOL! That is absolutely a "WTF" look. :D From the angle of their gaze, I can only assume Mandy was sitting in the window making faces at them! :P
Rainastorm
Oh my word! True...hard to catch two of these guys side by side like this...great job here Bill! Maybe they are both eyeballing suet or breadcrumbs and haven't noticed the other yet...lol

Whatever the distraction, they certainly are not pleased about it! These are the cutest colorful birds that seem to be in abundance in the US and Canada. Fantastic catch Bill - I really like it! :))

Cracking photo Bill, you must put glue on the hand rail or have their feet frozen to it, making them stand still for you? Beautiful birds.

There must have been something of extreme interest to hold the undivided attention of this jaybird duo, Bill. Or possibly they were just asking themselves, "is this all there is to life?" In any event, another capital capture of your various creature visitors, my friend.
psyoshida
I don't ever recall seeing two so close together. They must be hypnotized, that explains their expressions. LOL. They really are beautiful birds for the little buggers they really are. Excellent shot!
