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:-)

Keen comparison.

And it's a gorgeous view no matter which side or which photographer -- that railing has probably never been so photographed in its whole life! Great take on a great scene!

Excellent pov.

Great capture! Like the postwork in zoom. :)
Kaartijer
Good capture, well seen! It's sad that you didn't have a sunny day...
anmes
Great POV. Fine result

Nice capture, Bill! Both yours and Tara's photos just sweep the eye right into the image. I left a comment on her photo about how I've always found it amazing how 2 or more photographers will have such different views of the same scene. Excellent capture!

A very beautiful shot. Very nice curves and I like the postwork alot, Bill.
rocserum
great shot. Wonderful to see the different outcome! RS

Fantastic shot, Bill!

This is part of my problem with my own RR postings. I am surrounded with wildlife and I see so much on my daily walks. I don't stop to see what I walk by daily. The world is full of patterns that I'm not seeing. This is an awesome pattern shot and well taken. Dana

Wonderful!! A beautiful capture!!! I SO wish that I will have the same opportunity with a fellow Rendo person...I have a feeling it shall happen...I just need to be patient, LOL.

great POV and i like the crossing of the different lines!
goodoleboy
Terrific POV utilized to capture the repetition of the knobbed fence posts as they sweep royally across the image, Bill. Looks kind of cold out there. And, I thought you were back in Kansas by now.

Wonderful composition!
auntietk
This is a great shot, and I love what you did with the filters! I was blown away by how different our images were. I like the way the line of the line of balls merges with the bridge railing. Nice work! :D

i think two photographers could stand side by side, look thru their lenses at the same thing, and STILL come up with different shots. This is great, leads your eye right down the path!!
MrsLubner
Isn't it nice to spend time with someone who is of a like-mind? It is almost a game to see who can find the best shot, find the best pov... I can find the mood in this as you two strolled the area looking for opportunties. Great capture.
micturn
Well seen, nice use of DOF
lyron

flavia49
