“Impressionistic Reflections”
Been kind of slow around here lately , really bad fall this year no colors, now it is so blasted cold in November I don’t even want to go outside. At least I am not coaching basketball this year, for the first time in fifteen years, so I really don’t have an excuse for not getting any work done….Rightttt!!!
So I have been working some images I did get earlier this fall, and this is one of them, a shot of the reflections and only the reflections of a group of trees in a creek. I was trying to create one of those impressionistic images I have been seeing on the net the last few weeks, hopefully this comes close to what I was after. I kinda like the effect but I am not to sure about the color, I wish I could have got some vivid fall colors in this but it wasn’t meant to be this year.
I guess I am going to have to make some visits to the florist so I can start shooting again and get the old creative juices flowing, thanks for stopping by and having 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

I always like shooting reflections too, Bernie. There are some interesting colors here, especially the very subtle ones at the right top!
Really beautiful Bernie…
Look on the bright side, it’ll warm uo in 5 monts or so…

Thanks Terry, and Ron, thank you for pointing out it’s only five months !!!
awesome reflections here Bernie!
Looks good Bernie. I’m sure you are going through a major transition without the basketball. Filling a void that large can be a challenge. But you can do it. I’m sure you can do it.
Photography can help you do it. It’s going to be around long after basketball is a distant memory.
I kind of like this one, Bernie. It’s different. Different is good.

this is soo beautiful
the stillness of the water makes it look just like a mirror with that oldtimey ripple in it

I like the reflection and it’s nice.
Stunning, Bernie. The contrasty colors really give this one eye appeal.
Thanks for the comments guys, went to a ball game last night and it about killed me, it is a tough habit to break !!
Great shot Bernie. One of the best I’ve seen in this genre.
I’m surprised that you guys had no color this year.
I love impressionist shots like this – well done.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, Bernie.
When the snow flies, there will be plenty of new scenes to get. A mixed blessing there, for sure…

Don’t feel bad about not getting out Bernie, same here. Didn’t shoot much fall color at all, and before I knew it, it was below freezing. Crazy midwest weather!
I love the cool tones. I’ve always enjoyed shooting reflections, myself. Sometimes I flip them upside down, which makes for quite a surreal scene!
Nice composition Bernie. A man could daydream all day looking into water or watching clouds.
Colors were better here than expected but not great.
It works for me. You might try saturating the magenta a little bit in the lower right. But, it is a “wall hanger” just the way it is. Nice work!
Too bad your color was not up to par this year. I have heard others say the same thing in various parts of the country. Hopefully, next year will be better for everyone!
That is truly lovely – it could be an impressionist painting
Bernie-
I would love to post a link to each of your photo updates on Southern Indiana Times so that people can follow your blog. I have visited your blog often for the past couple of years and would love to send other people to see your wonderful pictures.
I will put the links up later today. Please let me know if you do not want the links (but I don’t know why you wouldn’t!).
