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 fun image! I love seeing the reflection like that. I don't believe it would have ever dawned on me that a shot like that was possible. Nicely done, and your postwork choices are excellent!

Wow Bill! This is very well seen. It looks like a very snow covered land that you were flying over. The details in the zoom are wonderful. Very well done, Clive

Oh oh, looks like that center section is trying to separate! If you were in Canada, I'd say that would be the Quebec section, ha ha!

Thats just beyond impressive, Bill... And WAY lucky! On the Airplanes I have flown in, you can barely see out of the windows.. So, if they would let you take a camera bag on a craft, because, after all, you might be a terrorist, you couldn't take a picture!! You lucky soul... Rob

Cool reflective effects in this experimental capture, Bill. Okay, LOL, it looks like I'm looking at a long flute through a darkly tinted window. Or maybe the flute is underwater.
