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 nice, blue jays are hard to get at least the ones I have encountered, nice work.

That's a really great capture of this blue jay, Bill! These guys aren't easy to photograph – they're skittish and fast. You caught this one perfectly!

That's not one from around here, is it? I've never seen any but Steller jays here...you did well for the shady locale. These guys must be a bit less skittish than the Steller's jays I've got in my garden...

He tried to hide from you, but didn't quite make it and that's a very good thing!!

Would have been interesting to see this done with the 5DMK3. I'm wondering what Fred255 meant about the proper photo site?

A very nice pose indeed, and I like the leafy surroundings. I didn't realize how much I've missed your bird pics until you started going through them again! VERY nice!
