My daughters and I found this girl/guy walking up the side of our house the other day! To me it was bizarre how it was looking right at me while taking its photograph…

Landscape Photography – A Walk Through Trough Creek State Park

Aaron Riddle — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:40:37 +0000

Location and Date: Trough Creek State Park, James Creek, PA | September 2011

The Details: My wife redecorated our living room this past week and decided she wanted a canvas wrap of Trough Creek State Park to hang on the wall. It is one of her fondest childhood memories as she grew up a few miles down the road from the park. This was a new and different assignment for me being that I have never set out to take a photograph with the intention of hanging it on my wall for decor purposes. I like to be challenged, so this was a fun and creative photographic exercise!

Animal Photography – Deer of the Shenandoah National Park

Aaron Riddle — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:11:01 +0000

Location and Date: Shenandoah National Park, VA

The Details: I went camping with my brother during March 2011 and was able to photograph a handful of deer. At first I thought I was experiencing a “once-in-a-lifetime” event, however I learned shortly after that there are TONS of deer in the park. I saw roughly 30-40 during my whole trip. That’s a lot of deer!

Landscape Photography – The Full “Perigee” Moon

Aaron Riddle — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 11:59:44 +0000

Location and Date: Winchester, VA – March 2011

The Details: This past weekend’s moon was the biggest and brightest in the past 20 years. It is known as a “perigee” moon - a perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system or “supermoon” is a full or new moon that coincides with a close approach by the Moon to the Earth. After reading a bedtime story to my kids, I went out and was able to capture a few photographs of this awesome moon.

Nature Photography – A Minimalist Waterdrop

Aaron Riddle — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 15:09:11 +0000

Location and Date: Warrenton, VA - March 2011

The Details: During my travels throughout Virginia this past week, I found myself in Warrenton, VA on a beautiful morning. I noticed a tree full of water droplets from the previous night’s rain, so I snapped this quick photo. Looking at this photo reminds me that Spring is right around the corner, and I personally can’t wait!
