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:-)

Perfect peace! I love this!

Not far from Tara's photo I think! Very nice shot. I have a friend now getting very excited about buying the 6D and the 200 mm f2.0 lens. He does want the 5DMK3 but lokes the fact that the 6D is lighter and much cheaper. What would you tell him about the 6D Bill?

For what its worth I use all types of lenses including a wide like this for landscapes! But hey, that's just me! Great job.

Beautiful scene....

Wow, I don't see anything at all wrong with that combination of camera and lens. I tend to not listen to "experts" myself, and basically just do what I want with what I have. Often I think they say things just to make you spend lots of money on more expensive pieces of equipment. This is lovely!
helanker

To me the camera and the lens work just fine. This is an excellent image.

Most peaceful mood atmosphere in this pic of the isolated spot, Bill. Does this mean that you actually purchased the camera after the trial run? If so, congratulations!

Your love for shooting landscapes certainly shows through in your photography, Bill. And this one is no exception - a gorgeous shot my friend! So did you end up getting that Canon?

Very nice capture. I like the calm water very much. Well done.

beautiful view, and once again I like that fact that you are trying out the equipment, much better than having a closet full of lenses that you never use, I always read everything I can if I am looking for new equipment you have probably already used this side but a good one for camera review is this. side by side comparison
Blush
I agree what a beautiful view Hugs Susan~
