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:-)

Sounds like the ingredients for a soap! A super pic! I'd heard that the Americans don't want it there..revenge for your grey squirrel!

The ocean so blue! Nonpareil clarity, colors and lighting really bring this collage to the fore, Bill!

Totally GREAT blues on the top one--Zowie!

Yeah, you've gotta watch those invasive weeds that masquarade as pretty, photographer-friendly flowers. Sneaky rascals! But they make for a lovely photo, and you've definitely made them look lovely here! Great photo, Bill!

Wonderful shots, exotic invasive's are so hard to get under control, especially when they look so pretty!

I love Scotch Broom, and this is beautiful scenery.
jocko500
yes love the yellows against the deep blue sea
psyoshida
Beautiful scene, Scotch Broom included.

Super captures, and this broom is an invasive weed here too but it makes a lovely frame for your photo. The sea looks lovely today too.

aaye, the yellow and blue look great.

Beautiful capture of the straits. Invasive or not - they are holding those dunes in place. Dana

Beautiful shots Bill, still it does look beautiful, well done!!
auntietk
I love the way this turned out. The combination of blue and yellow is striking!
Doriutz
Beautiful place and colors, excellent presentation :)

This is very pretty, to be sure, but you would not believe how invasive and noxious Scotch Broom is. The seeds are viable for up to thirty years, so clearing out a stand of it is just the beginning.
beachzz
Scotch broom is very invasive, too bad, cuz it's really beautiful---love the contrast of the bloom and the sea!!
Meisiekind
I believe they are invasive plants in Canada too, but they are so gorgeous! Wonderful contrast between the blue and yellow in a wonderfully composed shot Bill! :)
jayfar
Great shot Bill.
