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:-)

What a great shot of that gully! Outstanding image. I'm not sure I even shot this, because I didn't think I could do anything with ... you know ... the whole thing. LOL! Beautiful photography!

Ivy can take over the world if let alone. reminds me of the stuff that was imported from China that has control of areas in Louisianna

Oh, I thought it was a blanket of spider webs from Tara's recently posted spider pic! So this was a surprise, too!
Light here plays tricks on the eyes.
Keep up the good work.

Difficult subject to photograph - I struggle with trying to capture this kind of scene effectively - but you seem to have the kind of vision & creativity to pull it off...

What a lush, beautiful scene....

I know for a fact that it's not ALL ivy; there's a significant amount of bindweed mixed in too! So there! What a gorgeous spread of green, you managed to get that feeling of incredible vastness that is so striking. Beautiful!
