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:-)

Stellar lighting effects in this excellent bit of manipulation/postwork, Bill! It appears that the Mustang is strafing the airfield. Incidentally, the Junkers Ju 52 was prominently featured in the cool movie, Where Eagles Dare, starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.

Info for Harry: Sorry, you can't see the Bf 109 flying off the right wing of the Ju 52...that's what my P-51 pilot is firing at;-)

This would be a great new way to make vacation travel less of a chore.......being randomly strafed in between the peanuts and the movie!

Cool work Bill, not a view you'd want from any part of the Ju52, of the 3 requirements....parachuting to safety seems the best option about now.
