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:-)

It is a stunning composition and a beautiful collection of colours and reflections, but I should feel oppressed by the environment were I with you! So I will just enjoy your photos without the stress!

superb city shot Bill

this kind of angle you don't find in many places. with HDR you could get the overexposed skyrscrapper in the same light as in its refelction.

The reflections are what really make this photo so fascinating - now, where is the reflected aprt located on the real building? Where is the real building located? And what about the building in the reflextion that's outside the photo? Great job. But, not somewhere I'd like to live or work. Keep up the good work! :-)

Were you lying on your back in the middle of the street again Bill? Hehehe!!! Most wonderful image - I really love the angle. I need to go back to Chicago in weather better than 20C below... It is so rich in photo opportunities!

A most spectacular shot, Bill! Wondeful reflections - and the sky cooperated as well, I see! Most excellent - it just draws you right into the photo.

Well done, Bill. The lines and angles are mesmerizing and the reflections and wonderful sky complete the image.

I don't think it matters that the building on the left is over-exposed. I'm sure it was to your human eye at the time too. Lovely composition.
kenmo
