Speaking of: I've been searching for a pic that he took but can't seem to find it. It was his car next to a silver c6. If anyone knows of the link to it then I would genuinely appreciate it

I think it's Superimposed !!! But I know nothing of that skill !!! see I told you !!!

High-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI or HDR) is a technique used in imaging and photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The aim is to present the human eye with a similar range of luminance as that which, through the visual system, is familiar in everyday life. The human eye, through adaptation of the iris (and other methods) adjusts constantly to the broad dynamic changes ubiquitous in our environment. The brain continuously interprets this information so that most of us can see in a wide range of light conditions.

He captured so many awe inspiring images.

He'd say... " Get that car out of the driveway, away from the garbage cans, and make a memorable photographic image "

Good advice, and well taken.

Bill was a very talented and helpful person. I'm sure his spirit is enjoying new found levels of inspiration and fulfillment.
