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:-)

It just shows that a huge proportion of photographic success is 'where you point it'!

Nice one Bill, I like the 'canvas' effect in zoom.

The yo-yo, or, the ping-pong ball. Or anything else that goes back and forth. As for the photo, it looks great. Canvas post work in Photoshop with an iterative pattern. Yo! Ping! Keep up the good work! But keep out of the way of the guy holding that ping-pong paddle - he must be HUGE! :-)

Wonderfully composed photo Bill!!

I like the rich, deep browns and greens of the foreground and the water. Your postwork is just right ... really brings everything out. Great composition, with the ferry echoing the shape of the headland behind it. This proves the point that the equipment is NOT what makes the art, it's the artist. Nicely done, hon! :*
