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:-)

Beautiful photos. Very nice with the reflections, but also with how cramped the bombadier's and gunner's spaces were. Not for anyone with claustrophobia! And to be stuck in there for many a cold hour to target, having to concentrate on releasing at the right moment with FLAK, fighters and search lights blinding you. And YOU are controlling the plane at that point. After the bombs are gone, it fast as heck home! Rob's quite right about the "Nachtmusik" weapons system - they snuck in below and fired cannon aimed 90 degrees upwards. This was very dangerous as they could be shot at from other bombers, and get hit by the bomb load either as the bomber dropped on target, OR due to the bomber being hit from below! Several "Nachtmusik" fighters were lost due to being hit by bombs falling out of damaged bomb bays.
