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:-)

One darned good engine and the same goes for their cars (but expensive!). And one good photo with really nice post work. A very nice abstract work of art. I wonder how many would get this is the intake end of a jet engine. Good work! :-)

A wonderful 'spin' on this engine, Bill! This is a wonderful abstract! I think Tara may be influencing you a bit! LOL! Super work, Bill!

You can call it a Rolls Royce if you want, Bill, but it looks to me like the blades of a jet turbine engine. And they look sharp enough to make mince meat out of any birds that get in the way. That said, stellar clarity, color, lighting and reflections in this exceedingly cool shot and subsequent filter work.
