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:-)

Fantastic shot and spectacular landscape. Good thing they are on a track. If I were driving I'd be all over the road for looking at the scenery.

You have produce two pics in a row of a normally yawn-inducing subject, both of which I LOVE!

Great shot! I love the POV - I am attracted to the color of the water and the color of the train. Really neat shot

When I see such a train, I always think about the old song "Freight Train" My dear late brother used to sing that song. :) This is such a beautiful capture in a place, I recognize from some of Taras older shots :-)

Nice work - I really like the composition and how the drabness makes the color of the train stand out.
