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:-)

Very beautiful capture! it would be nice to see some sun for a decent amount of time, like say, 15 minutes?

Yes even here when it has supposed to have been summer, the weather has been very unpredictable. The shadows are nice in this photo Bill. Well done.

The light on the grassy knoll is definitely worth it! Clive

Yes ... last year's weather was just to rope you in. This year has been more "normal," although things ARE blooming quite late. (At least I assume they'll eventually bloom!) Now that you're stuck ... Mwaaahaahaahaahaa!!! :P :*

LOL! Tara :D Bill, it is a lovely light you captured in this shot. I just discovered that my Snowdrops are now in bloom. That is always a beginning. :)))

It reminds me of a poem that I learned at school...however due to a senior moment I can't recall which one at present! Superb.

An enchanting image, as if a page was taken from a childrens fairytale book, great effect of the subtle volumetrics and grand old tree ... BB

A favourite time of day, the long shadows saying "time to go home, you're tea is ready"...sometimes it's good to just sit and watch the grass grow. I love that big tree, I see they've fenced it in so it doesn't wander off :-)

Long winter shadows...one of my favorite subjects. Fine DOF and sense of depth, along with a stellar POV employed to capture this super scene, Bill.
