” Pastel Stamen “
I thought I might post something a little warmer than I have lately, things have quieted down recently but the cold has returned, this is a shot of a lily stamen shot in macro mode. I used my Sigma 150 with an additional ext. tube to get the desired result for this image. It was shot 2.8 to get the blurred background along with the soft appearance in the color.
I figure in about another month the temperatures should increase enough to bring on early wildflowers. I don’t think moisture will be a problem this year as we have gotten quite a bit of rain and snow over the winter. Now if the temperatures would start to warm things would be well on their way to spring, I have noticed quite a few geese and cranes flying back north, hopefully that is a good sign.
Hope you enjoy the image it was a nice diversion from the cold winter we are experiencing, thanks for stopping by !!

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

Some of the most perfect colors! Bravo!
Great shot, Bernie! Very nice blend of colors and really cool use of focus!
Bernie, you are hard back at it and doing it well. Very beautiful photo with a careing touch.
Would love it if you would start a daily photo blog for your city! Your photos have so much thought and technique behind them– delightful!

I love macros of this type and this one is no exception. Beautiful image. Excellent colors. The stamens are the star of the show. Very well done, Bernie.
love the soft colors and selective focus!
Excellent Image.
Very nice Bernie – gives us something to look forward to. Spring can’t get here soon enough.
Very pretty! The colors are “Easter-ey.” Guess I shouldn’t mention that our wildflowers have already been blooming for a couple of weeks though, eh?
Beautiful image..great shape and colors
I like the colors in this one – I haven’t seen too many that were green – they are usually yellow. Can’t wait for spring either!
Beautiful color and form, Bernie – a great photo!
hey coach, this is so refreshing, love the pastel palette. The days are getting longer and longer and I agree that spring can’t some too soon! Thanks for the beautiful color-fix
I don’t want to hear about your wildflowers Lana !!
