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:-)

You are doing fine Bill. Keep on going. God Bless.

Hmm... raw, that's the best way to photograph a flower (not much left after cooking or frying). Silly pun, I know. This looks like I could touch it. The different shades of magenta are fantastic here. For this type of close-up, do you use a tripod to avoid shaking when the shutter releases? I have a few more light photos from this Christmas holiday, but I can only post one image a day. The balcony lights image is quite fuzzy, as a few of my other lights images. But I'll be posting the other good ones. Keep up the good work! :-)

I really like this composition, with the saucy pink against the demure whites.

Exquisite peony! I absolutely love these flowers for their wonderful smell and their fullness! Makes me think back to just a mere few months ago when I could smell these in person :) Very delicate and a pretty view!

Love the beet red petals in this fine macro from 2010, Bill. I keep forgetting about the RAW side of photography until you remind me again.

I like the way you've used color and shape as your composition. The blooms in the background set off the main event quite nicely. Whatever you're doing over there, it's working well! :*
