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:-)

lol, tara's remark about the humidity. You'd think these caverns have been around long enough to get air conditioned. ("We've been here 600,000,000 years, give us the best...") Your ISO's at 20,000: That's HIGH, dude! I think the SUN'S is less than that. (I know, the ISO's today go much higher, but still---that lets in enough light to start your own star...) WIth that ISO, and hand holding, and the low f-stop, you got beautiful variegation in the lights and darks, and beautiful detail in the stone. In fact, in parts it almost seems like big foamy waters bubbling up. A deep feeling pic, with beautiful "inside" light. And it feels dank and humid. A fine job under difficult circumstances. All golden in hue and feeling too...

This is a spectacular capture Bill - I have NEVER been successful photographing caverns like this!
