An excellent link was posted in the Ottawa Photography Meetup forum recently for an SLR camera simulator. This is an awesome tool that shows you how a photo will turn out depending on the settings that you choose. People who are new to photography will really benefit from this because you can really see the relation between ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focal length, zoom, etc. You can master your camera functionality at home which will make it that much easier to catch that once in a lifetime photo when you're out adventuring.

I'm dusting off my website for another shameless plug. I recently opened up an Etsy shop to sell some of my photos. Etsy is a website where crafty people can come together to sell their goods. I've purchased a few things from this site and everyone has been so friendly and accommodating, and the quality of the work has been great.
Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/kmcgrailphotography?ref=si_shop
And a couple of sample photos of what the final product could look like in a lovely frame:
I've had a few article ideas running around my head lately, so I promise to post some new content soon ;)
Thanks for all your support!
So it seems that I've been neglecting this site, but with good reason. I promise ;)
I've been working on a side project for a few months now that I officially launched yesterday and turned into a new service: maternity photography in the Greater Ottawa Area. To check out the galleries and for information about the photo sessions that I'm offering, check out http://beautifulbellies.ca/ .
My focus is on the mom herself, not generic portraits or big group photos that happen to have a pregnant women in them, but actually giving the spotlight to the mom and her growing belly. Family photos with the mom are definitely a nice addition to the memories that you get from the photos, and I welcome family members to participate, but I focus specifically on the mom and give her the most attention.
I also have a Facebook page for Beautiful Bellies, but there isn't too much content yet.
My flickr photostream has been more active if you want to keep up with my personal photography. There is a link in the sidebar on the right where you can get to it, or just click this link.
