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:-)

Very cool effect. This is the perfect picture to try the effect on.

Well, that plane was a first in many ways, and this image is an interesting presentation of the plane. It looks like it's really coming out of the photo at me, which really adds interest. I've read the article you linked to. Very interesting. I recall reading about this in a magazine in the early 1960s. And now I get to see it almost 3D! Keep up the good work with this CS5 method. It really brings things out! :-)

Fantastic OOB Bill, Great perspective, and as mentioned above, it takes the right image for the technique to be extra wow, this is no exception bud! Teacher is very pleased with he's pupil, have an apple LOL!

A brilliant photo but OOB is just amazing! I love this, it just adds so much...people often talk of a subject 'popping' off the page,but this!!!! unbelievable.....now if Tara does this with her take on aircraft, we're 'stuffed' :-) Beyond brilliant, and a fave of faves......

Ronnie sent me the information on how to do this so guess I am goina have to try, I have in the past and got stuck and one of the steps. You've done a great job.

OMG, the epitome of simplicity on display in this wonderful shot of the XF-92A, Bill. Love that POV. Amazing results from your popping out of the photo experiment, my friend. Gives it tons of depth. And since I'm stuck with CS3, an effect I won't be able to achieve.

Well done, Bill; I have yet to try this. Looks like you've got it down pat!
Osper

A great photo of a cool machine, and a knock-out presentation, Bill! I'd say a very successful experiment! Mmmmmm - CS5.... I'm soooo jealous! LOL!
