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
Â
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.
Â
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;-)
Â
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:-)

A triumph of composition, Bill! The intimacy of the POV and clarity of the waterdrops combine to make me want to daddle my toes under that bogbean and see what nibbles them.

As Feliciti notes: the drops make this much more than a "still", they give character.

Nice cool water for hot tired footsies! Looks like it's been raining with all the drops on the surfaces. These add interest to the textures and colors (refraction indexes are nice here). Considering the location, I doubt if one would get nibbled here. Nice job! :-)

love all the different shades of green. As for doing what Andrea said, dangling toes in there, sorry I will give it a miss :o)

Or, to be more precise, lily pads, the large flat leaves of the waterlily. Stellar clarity and subtle colors and lighting effects in this marvelous composition, Bill.

I like the great colouring in this lovely capture and I can imagine a frog sitting on that rock in the sunshine.
