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:-)

I know just where this was. I didn't take a single shot there ... too busy fiddling with the settings and controls on the car. This is spectacular! Such a wonderful vista. :* Nicely done!

Fantastic capture. An amazing area of farmland. We have large area's of farmland yet generally ignore them as they are taken for granted-Won't ignore them again!

Zooming I see two small sets of buildings--maybe farmhouses-with tree-lines lanes--lovely country.

I hope the rain didn't catch up with you. A super capture of this dramatic looking scene. The road reminds me of a roller coaster I hope it didn't feel like that as you drove along it.
