Bio

Hi, my name is Marc Latrémouille and I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario and now reside in Orleans. I have always been drawn to the natural world and the treasures it has to offer. Whether it is listening to a loon calling on a lake, watching a rainbow form after a late afternoon rain, or watching the constellations on a clear night. I find myself in awe and at peace when surrounded by such beauty.

I enjoy all aspects of the great outdoors and find my curiosity with the natural world has grown and developed over time. Just a few years ago, I spent most clear nights observing celestial objects through my 10” Dobsonian telescope and most of my days observing birds and other wildlife. These days, my spare time (i.e., when not at my full time job or with my 2 daughters) is spent in the field with my camera and binoculars in hand.

Photography is a recent addition to my hobby list. In 2003 I purchased a point-and-shoot digital camera and started photographing birds through my spotting-scope, a technique known as as Digiscoping. My love for bird photography grew along with my frustrations with Digiscoping. I sold my Digiscoping gear and purchased my first Digital SLR camera, a Canon Rebel XT along with the very popular and versatile Canon 100-400 Zoom lens. I was now able to photograph birds in flight and moving from branch to branch. The possibilities were endless. With time came the desire for greater focal length so I purchased my dream lens, the Canon 500F4 IS and traded my Rebel XT for the Canon30D.

With today's booming digital technology and the ever-expanding internet resources, my intimidation for high-end photography was gone! Through the help of these resources, I have now taught myself specialized photography skills, long lens techniques and post-processing workflows. It has allowed me to bring home images that I can then share with my family, friends, and you.

My connection and commitment to the natural world only grows deeper by the day and I now strive to share this passion with my children and to anyone else who appreciates the great outdoors.

Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy your visit!

This picture was taken by Daniel Cadieux, fellow photographer and birder, while out at Mud Lake in Ottawa. I was photographing a Great Horned Owl that was "perched" on rocks.
