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:-)

Capital clarity, composition and lighting effects in this uber stellar night shot of the train and its eerie environs, Bill. Really gorgeous capture!

This is outstanding! The light is gorgeous, the color of the water is amazing, and the train looks like it's about to knock you off the track. I'd worry, if I didn't know exactly where you were standing! :P Really nice shot, hon!

Fantastic capture Bill and I still can't get my mind around the fact that 3 engines can pull that many cars. Dana

Great capture Bill. Interesting info about the greenhouse gases.

another glorious capture of the primal beauty & dream of a train. The clarity is wonderful---making the angled lines & edges of the beast all the more tactile. But the smoke & shimmer in the trees, the softness of the background, and those strong headlights emphasize the 'dream' of the thing, at the same time. Man, where are you standing, to get such shots? A bridge maybe? It's beautiful. Train fans should see this: This is the way to capture the Presence of a train.

Another perfect train picture.

This is great railroad photography! Everything is right here: Interesting theme, a good POV and a high-class quality, stuff for a calendar! The diesel smoke over the locomotives gives us a feeling for the power, and I wish I could hear them howl... And the end of the train (or the middle section) is seen far away right.... Stunning pic! A fav, if it is allowed...
