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:-)

Superb, I like the bottles' color and the reflections. Extra credit for shooting from a leather chair.

This I really like. For one thing, I love colored glass anything, and the reflections, and the fact you were very comfortable at the time. ;o)

I'm totally jealous. All my shots of these bottles turned out blurry. NOW it occurs to me that I should have gotten out of my comfy leather chair and walked over there and done some Tara-light-and-glass work!! Next time ... :P This is wonderful - I love the reflections and the color of the glass, and that huge chimney. Great shot! :*

Lovely Bill. I'm glad you didn't get stung mate! Over here a Blue Bottle is what Australians and our neighbours in New Zealand call Portuguese Man o War!

Sharp as a tack or razor, and cool reflections in this great shot of the bottles and colored wires undulating out of them, Bill. When I read the title, I wasn't sure whether to expect bottles that are colored blue, or bottles that are sad.
