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:-)

Beautifully captured Bill. I would love to go for a ride in this one!

A little red goes a long way and it looks like this little red goes pretty fast getting there too! I love it! I like the fact that the red is a sort of candy-apple, hot-rod red, complete with lightening bolt designs. Yeah, this rocks. I like the sleekness of this beauty too...I don't often think of biplanes as sleek, but this one looks as if its been molded from some super-sophisticated, high-endurance resin. Yeah. That's always a good thing for a science fiction geek like me. I'd love to ride around in one of these. This is a great shot!

I'd come up as your passenger mate for sure. How good does it look! Look at that shine. LOVE IT. I was already singing that song in my head before your link!

Very beautiful capture !Excellent shot !

Great angle ... very inviting! I don't think I walked around that side of the Beechcraft, 'cause I was spending all my time on the Waco! Hard to believe that's a standard fabric-and-dope biplane. It looks so modern, and that red paint is flawless. Such a gorgeous little plane!

I do not know if this is the same plane or not, but there use to be an identical stagger wing at Frontiers of Flight at Love field.I was disappointed when it was removed.I have pictures some where.if I can find I may post one.I love the interior and looks like this one is just as spit shine perfect as the one I seen beautiful shot Bill
makron
Genial idea..very well done
RodS
Wow - that is definitely RED! And I love it! What a beauty this is, and you got a great photo of it, Bill! I love this POV looking down the wing - it's perfect!
MagikUnicorn
Lovely R E D No more visit from you in my gallery :(
T.Rex
Yikes! That's the most red red I've ever seen! Nice shot along the wings, which almost frame the photo. The open door literally draws the eye into the plane. The cockpit area in front of the door looks rather drawn out - is there a pilot's seat there, or are the two seats in the photo the only seats in the plane? I can't make out if the wings are metal or stitched fabric (stitches or rivets). Very nice photo of an unusaual plane - first time I see one! :-)

I love the colour of this very pretty little plane. It would look very beautiful against a blue sky. A lovely shiny capture.
