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:-)

What a masterpiece of manhood! I would certainly fancy him myself if I was the same species.

Magnificent~

Is he a New Hampshire Red? My Martha Washington is and they look similar. I have been told they are the friendliest of the breeds. Great shot of a most regal cock-of-the-walk.

He really is a beauty, isn't he? I've never seen such a lovely collection of chickens. I think every single one of them was different from the others. This guy has such beautiful feathers and luscious colors, he deserves his moment in the spotlight!
RodS
That has got to be the most colorful rosster I've ever seen! Not that I spend much time with chickens, you know.... Other than on the grill.. A gorgeous photo of this fellow, Bill!
T.Rex
Interesting "airplane"! :) Hmmm...you mean he was after you? For his photo to be taken? Sounds a bit Narcissistic. Or, was he jealous and afraid you'd be a challenge to his rule of the roost? I've seen that on occasion, having been regarded as an unwelcome outsider by a rooster once. I had to refrain from entering the roost. The owner had to fetch the eggs! Very nice photo of this fellow. You've really captured the variations of color in his feathers. Considering you used flash, I wonder how he reacted to that! Scared? Or angered? Has he avoided you after that? Keep up the good work! :-)
awjay
