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:-)

This puts a lot into perspective - the support and space needed to manufacture the aircraft. Well done on the pano and the info, Clive

Now THIS is a pano for sure--wow!! Took me 5 minutes just to look at the whole thing (ok, not quite!!). Great shot, Bill, and I'll take you up on the offer of the tour next time I'm up there!!

Outstanding Panorama I noticed you managed to avoid the curving on such a large shot I like the leaning tower!

I thought you forgot to load the image at first. I never knew what the biggest building in the world was who knew it would be in Seattle, very impressive.

Fantastic pano. A huge complex. Thanks for sharing.

What a fantastic pano! That's an amazing place ... each of those blue doors is the size of a football field. I'm glad you got the planes in as well as the buildings. Excellent work!

An amazing pano of this huge building. The stats are mind boggling, and it must take ages to get from A to B.

Wonderful pano of Boeing doing what it does best. Hope they get the 787 problems straightened out.
danapommet
Awesome pano Bill and seemless too. I see what you mean with the leaning tower. It does not distract from the final scene. So well done. Dana

Man! That's one hellova panorama, Bill! Excellent job on this! I would have been very surprised if they would have allowed cameras in there. Cameras and cells are prohibited where I work, too, but we get away with our cell phones because we use them a lot to do our jobs. I guess if one has a photographic memory, they have to check thier head at the security desk.. LOL! Excellent work, and facinating info. If I ever get up your way, I'll definitely put it on the intenerary!

Pano and a half mate! Will not be applying for a janitors job any time soon, you'd need a BIG broom in that place.The leaning control tower is a nice leave, but I wouldn't have metioned it, see how many noticed.
