Spring is Finally Here !!
After a very long cold and snowy winter spring finally came to Southern Indiana and Madison, the wildflowers are really bursting out all over the place and I have been getting a few decent shots, everyday brings forth more color and varieties so I should have a few images to post real soon.
I took a hike the night before last and got a few flower images but I also got this image of the cascade below Hoffman Falls in Clifty Fall State Park, the sun was setting behind me and gave the scene a shot of some interesting light. I am not sure I like the bright spot on the right side of the image, but I still think it turned out pretty good.
The creeks and falls are running wide open since we have received about 20 inches of rain since March 1, no kidding 20 inches, so I have been getting a few landscape shots as well. All in all it looks like spring may turn out a lot better than I first thought it would.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

About
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

This is a wonderful shot, great work!
20 inches – WOW!
Great falls, thrilled with the coming of spring, yes?
That’s a breathtaking photo. Thanks for sharing. And here in northern Illinois, spring has yet to arrive. (Mid-40s today with a very cold rain).
Nice comp Bernie. I suppose the sunshine is debatable, but I sure like the light on the foreground rocks.
Beautiful/awesome photo. I really like this.. Good work.
Great Bernie.
Absolutely beautiful.
And I thought you were caught up in the NCAA’s

I like that bright spot. It draws my eye to it, then I leisurely scan back across the rest of the photo and savor it. Great work!
I am so glad that spring has finally arrived!
Very beautiful image Bernie. I like the small bright spot. Artists are taught to either have a small light or dark spot to contrast with the whole. Very nice.
Very nice. I like all of it and I’m so happy Spring reached you over there on the other side of these mountains. Thanks for your recent comments too. They have been very uplifting.
hey great shot and nice light! I wish I was there with you! Not much going on here in the “Sands”. Been back n forth from BIAP a bunch. You always know how to work the water and bring out those greens. Can’t wait to get back and get to working on our plans. Have you worked out the location yet? Later, JT
Great shot. I like the silky water at the bottom.
Lovely soft water – a beautiful photograph, and I bet you’re glad to be out in the spring!
Lovely, Bernie. I like the spot of brighter light, too. It gives an extra touch of realism to an idyllic scene.
That is an impressive amount of rain Bernie. I really like how the warm light adds to the scene. I think you got it just right with that. Any more and it’d be contrasty, and any less there wouldn’t be any light.
I love waterfall shots…nice…
Spring lighting can be tricky. With no leaves on the trees and a still relatively low sun angle, hard tree trunk shadows start cutting across everything. Hey, it still beats frostbite, eh?
The rocks in the foreground are what make this photo for me.

Yep, I think it is beginning to arrive here too. Your falls are beautiful with the soft water!
Oh, what I would give to be back home again and wander Indiana.
Very nice. Reminds me of the Niagara Escarpment.
i have been here numerous times but never commented.
Beautiful picture, and the amazing part is that your pictures actually load fully and rather quickly!
Thanks for taking and sharing this
That is a wonderfully well-captured waterfall
lovely photo! original Bernie style!
oh… this is so pretty. I think I have fallen in love with ur photos.
Tough lighting conditions with such a dynamic range of light from darks to highlights. I’m not a big fan of HDR but this is the kind of scene which HDR is good at. Still, very well done.
We had some warm spring days last week in upstate NY. Now, it’s looking like the cold that’s been out west is going to be making it’s way east. A bit of a slow down for the start of April.
