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:-)

Marvelous DOF, clarity, contrasts, composition, and overall ambience in this stellar shot, Bill. I love these white boats, many of which are based in the marinas of Long Beach, CA. This one is a beauty.

It is a lovely capture of this boat and it looks to be a great little boat to do a spot of fishing from.

My dream boat is the 42' Nordic Tug, made in Washington state. In fact I visited their site once and harbored (sorry for the pun) dreams of being the Nordic Tug rep for Alberta. And you would be surprised how many large boats are in use in Alberta...at least when the water isn't quite as hard as it is right now, LOL!

I like that song! I had a sailing dinghy..too stiff nowadays to cope with all that hunkering down.

Dream on Bill! Very nice indeed.

What a beautiful boat it is.. yes, I wouldnt mind go our fishing in such a boat :)

Nice, clean photo. One sees how the boat gently rolls in the swell. A very wide gamut of colors - from white to black. Given the angle of view, the ferry must be quite low in thw water, unless you used a telephoto lens. Looks like all fiberglass hull. I wonder what it's max speed is. This sets me to daydreaming, too, and some reminiscing from sailing on Long Island Sound back in the early 1960s. Keep up the good work! :-) PS - EJD64 posted a really nice fire the other day. Worth a look!

If I had a boat I'd be out in it every day! Lovely capture!

Nice boat! That looks like just about the right size. Maybe we'll check into a charter! :) Love the song. :P
