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:-)

Great candid Bill. There is quite a lot of serious chat going on here.

I think the coach is crapping on them... the captain drinks her water but thinks... "I told you so..." The players are listening intensely but also a little bored because the captain gave them the same speech... The hands in the sides body language also makes me think that the players could be a bit cocky!!! Or something like that! Great people shot Bill!!!

Excellent shot!!

Here it is also fun to read comments to this excellent shot. "Use your elbows a little more and jump higher". Man, he looks tired :-)

I think the coach is non to pleased & told the players to get out there & buck their ideas up. The best player is not taking much notice as she knows she is good & doesn't need to be told to pull her socks up. The others are a bit upset that the other team is better than they thought. Unfortunately the best team got a wake up call :o)

Great capture of expressions and body language Bill well done!!

Great to 'read' this one! Great candid, Clive

Great shot, Bill. Not knowing the team dynamics, the coach is coming across as an adviser (tan suit): a leader/authority figure would wear a Navy blue suit. But he does have the power red tie.

He's saying: let's win one for the Gipper, or, this is the biggest game of your life, or, you gotta pick up your energy, especially on defense, or, people payed good money to watch you play, so let's give them a good show! Anyway, terrific POV, clarity, composition and lighting in this capture, Bill.

The coach looks a little like the british actor Phil Davis or perhaps it's just me. Judging by their expressions I think he's telling them they play like the England football team so shape up! Great post Bill.

An excellent capture of all the body language. They all look a little worried to me that it isn't going to be as easy as they thought.

Whatever he said must have worked like a charm, because they won by more than 20 points! LOL! Great capture. :*
