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:-)

Some of them long before white people came to the forests period!

I like that you caught the car not in the center, but to the right of center; that your right is actually an 'open' area, mostly, which is one frame; while the left is a deeply closed and monumentally full area, which is the other frame. In road shots, centrality is probably the first instinct of a photographer (I just posted a sidewalk shot, and I struggled with its centrality, because centrality is so obvious and can actually be a tyrant). But you sensed that the car & road belonged on one side, thus allowing the massivity of the forest (on the left) to take over its 'half'. And beautiful light on the forward-most tree in that side, and very sweet light on the leaves above the car...Also, a very nice contrast of the road's blue with the rest of the greens, browns and that orangey browns of the side of the road. A restive shot with a Kingdom around it; impenetrable & even terrifying, and quite beautiful...

Very nice capture. The car looks so smal if you compare it with the majestic trees. Well done.

It is amazing how these redwoods dwarf a car.
