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:-)

That's too cool, Bill - or maybe too cold! Looks like she's hot on the trail of whatever (or whoever) made those big tracks. Maybe she just wants to get her feet out of that cold stuff! :-D Love the impressionistic filter work on this!
drace68
Yes, that filter makes it look like a painting from the Impressionists.

It was me, I did it LOL . She almost completely blends in. Great shot!

Excellent hue variations on the shadows and the white of the snow in this stellar shot of Mandy, galloping at full tilt after something or others. Maybe it's chow time. And, those big tracks may indicate the presence of the Abominable Snowman, far from his usual haunts in the Himalayas.

Mandy is so cute! Love the postwork, it makes a wonderful painterly portrait of sweet Mandy.

This is great! I love the filter work, and Mandy looks so cute in the snow. Great light and shadow ... the sun through the tree branches is lovely. Nicely done!
