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:-)

Lovely, something about the crisp angularity of the dock's white and tan contrasting with the deep blue water.

Beautiful Rob. I've always dreamed about living on a boat in one of these places, and being able to take off whenever I pleased!

What a gorgeous scene! I love the deep, rich blues. A perfect day to go to the beach! (Or the marina, in this case.) Excellent image.

That is dead calm. A very serene image Bill.

Nice shot! I'm guessing that you perhaps used a circular polarizing filter?

Beautiful photo, Bill. Makes me want to be there. Nice sun, reflections and shadows. A closer look reveals there's even a tinge of blue in the whites in the photo. High tide - I wonder how high. Keep up the good work! :-)
