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:-)

What a super cool shot Bill. Reminds me of the old Nursery Rhyme pretty little maidens all in a row...love the water, reflection, that line the oats are in...so sophisticated! Awesome shot :-)

Beautiful crisp & sharpcapture. Agree that the POV is great and so are the colors. Dana

When I opened your page of thumbnails, I was in a quandary. There were cats, usually a first destination. There was Tara. There were beautiful clouds. But this drew me like a box of Maltesers (my favorite candy that is luckily not easily bought here). The color is so beautiful, with rich blues in the water, pastel blues and pinks in the sky and vibrant colors on the boats. Wonderful composition, perspective and reflections! Absolutely gorgeous shot!
