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:-)

Stunning green ambience on display in this color version, Bill.
angora

BIPOLARTWO
The colour image does it for me although the b and w was excellent

Really beautiful.. no photo ever really captures the grandeur of those trees though. I visited there in the 70s and it made a very lasting impression.

A spectacular shot of these old redwoods and surroundings.

Wow - those colors really pop - and it's even more impressive that the colors are Mother Nature's very own... No Photoshop needed! Impressive! A beautiful shot, Bill - in color or B&W!
T.Rex
Ah, I KNEW it! I see the head of that sneaky T.Rex hiding behind the stub in the middle of the photo - snout facing left, back of head to the right. I strongly suspected redwood trees. I love them! The immense size, the canopy of branches and leaves so high up - further than the ceiling of any cathedral. This photo is great - those colors! And I can just smell the fresh, cool air! Mmmm....Thanks for posting this color version. SO BEAUTIFUL! Keep up the good work! :-)

Very nice!! I can almost see little red riding hood running through here, and the wolf not far behind.
