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:-)

That is freakin' awesome. You couldn't have captured the action any better, the postwork adds excitement, and I love the implications of the title! LOL! The dog looks pretty okay with his lot in life, though. Great photo!

Marvelous image Bill! I love the haze of spray with the touch of highkey to add speed to the canine's sprint! I bet this is in the Sound and the water is freezing!

Great photo capture. I like the detail of droplets in enlarged view, but the whole pic in view conveys the dog's enjoyment, as Andrea noted above.

Oh, wow! Just what I'd love to do - in some WARM water! Very nice action shot - lucky you got it this well. It's just a fleeting moment and is so easy to miss (which is why I'd rather use a film camera for this type of photo rather than a digital one due to faster shutter speed). Now, if I could do this in my bath tub! :-)

What a super action shot, Bill! The dog looks so graceful - you captured this at the peak of his leap. And the spray is icing on the cake! Most excellent!

I think it should have been titled "Flying Dog"...! Great work, so much action!
