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 Bill. I know you are going to like the camera and the lack of weight in your hand. Good luck.

Sweet capture! the cool thing about B&W is you can almost feel the textures in the photo.

A humble title but a crackerjack image. Maybe the leaves keep coming back because they want you to take their picture.

Wow these leaves look amazing in this fabulous capture. I bet you are pleased with your purchase. They sound like they are persistent, but beautiful. Lol. 😀

I have been looking at Fuji's. I had one years ago and was happy with it except for the low pixels. great monochrome

I am not going to try to identify those leaves Bill, but they look nice in B & W. Interesting comment on my upload of Beethoven. Something I didn't know Bill, thanks. I guess they didn't know about his condition during his lifetime, sort of like Napoleon. They didn't discover that he had arsenic poisoning until much later too!

That is an amazing photo. Love the B/W. x

A lovely B&W shot, Bill! Those leaves almost look like they're made out of gold leaf. That setting seems to have a ton of range - the whites and blacks all have plenty of detail. This looks very much an HDR image.
