“Coneflower Art”
I shot this coneflower extremely shallow, just trying to emphasize the colors and bring enough form to give you an idea what the flower is, once again my favorite way to shoot flowers. This one was actually shot outside and not inside my basement, it has been so dry this summer most the flowers never really looked good so I have been making a few trips to the local florist hoping to get a few good subjects.
Shot at f/2.8, 1/60 second at iso 160. I also added a very slight surface blur to this because it had some age spots on it and I was too lazy to clone them out

Hello my name is Bernie Kasper and I am a photographer from Madison, a small town located in the Southeastern part of Indiana on the banks of the Ohio River, the area I call home has a rich diversity of topography and wildlife that make it a special place. From the canyons and waterfalls of Clifty Park to the wetlands of the Muscatatuck NWR the area is rich in photographic opportunities, hopefully I will be able to convey the beauty of the area and share any info as well about this place I call home

wonderful colors! Bravo!
Bernie, you get more color out of each shot than I could imagine is possible. I envy that ability!
Hey Bernie, very cool comp, well done.
Bernie, I like how the eye naturally travels up those long petals to the focal point there in the center. Your macros have really evolved into something beautiful! I can imagine this matted and framed in large format, can’t you?
awesome shot. has the characteristic ‘Bernie’ flower macro abstract look.
nicely done.
Awesome! Macro shots a bit out of the box are nice. Very inspirational
The colors are great!
Beautiful shot Bernie. It reminds me of a bunch of fireworks launching. Really neat effect.
I know the feeling on the dry flowers.
THUS IS JUST GORGEOUS MY FRIEND.. AND THANKS FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT CHEERLEADER,,, ERR COACH:)
I’m a big fan of the color as well – you have a real knack of making a coneflower look almost neon. Wicked.
Wow. those red things are almost popping off the screen! the color scheme is amazing.
Beautiful colors & form – I like the slight blur too.
Gotta get me some lighting (which I need anyways to photograph the jewelry my girlfriend is making) and flowers and play with at-home macro photography one of these days!
Hey Bernie, nice composition here. These flowers seem to offer up new and interesting images whenever we spend time with them.
The tag is to show your desktop. So now I tag Bernie of BFK Photography and Boyd of Beautiful Explorations of Creative Passion both of whose photography I enjoy very much and I thank them for their continued visits and support. No pressure to participate folks but show us your screens!
