Kristy Cannon Photography

I really enjoyed looking through your gallery. Your travel/landscape section is quite nice. Keep them coming!

Wonderful images Kristy. Love the travel images - the colors and the crispness of the images are fantastic. Well done, and looking forward to seeing more images. Cheers.

Hi Kristy,

Thanks for your kind comments on my little collection of shots :-)

I must say I'm really impressed with your landscapes too. Beautiful use of tonality along with surreally abstract subjects makes for intriguing viewing.

Best Chris

I love your landscape pictures too. You have took so magnificent pictures with awesome lightning and composition. Your portfolio looks lovely and i hope im going to see much more! Keep going

With best regards Emilia :D

Kristy, your travel/landscape section is especially nice. It seems that you have a very good eye for those Southwestern landscapes. Thanks for sharing your work.

Hi Kristy,

Best regards,

I Kristy, thanks very much for your kind comments. I like a lot your pictures very well done! carlo

First I would like to say thank you for taking the time to comment on my Cowboy up! I appreciate your words.

I stopped by your portfolio to look at your pictures and they are beautiful. I want to see more! I love your composition and the color and the treatment you do on the borders. Very professional looking. Like a fine art poster. Very nice.

Thank you again and let me know please if you post any more photographs.

Kristy, I am not sure where to put this comment. I hope you find it here.

First, your slot canyon shots are beautiful. I am going back over mine to compare and learn.

Second, I looked at your request for help on getting the correct lightness/darkness from your lab. I have had the same problem, but did not know much about the technicalities to do more than just guess. I now have a few more tools to work with based on your sharing of that experience.

Third, I very much appreciate the time you took to critique my "Bear Of Antelope Canyon" - all your observations are correct. I did not have my tripod with me - I loaned it to my wife. Her shots came out much better than mine. I did use the delay feature, but I could not keep the camera still enough in that light. You are also correct about getting direct light to the point of aver-exposure. I like getting the yellow colors in but that one was a little over done.

Again, thanks for your help. Any time you want to critique any of my shots, please do so as I found your comments to be very helpful. I will try to return the favor, but I am so new that I may not have much to add to your efforts.

I'm glad to be of help if I can be. I figure we are all here to learn and if we are not all taking part in that process, then that part of being here at PN is wasted. So, ask anytime, ok? I'm sure I'll be doing the same. :)

Also, take a look at the last entry to the forum thread for the conclusion. I'm glad you found it helpful; I felt like I was all by myself on that one until everyone started pitching in to help. But, now I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

Thanks again for stoping by my portfolio, I'm be posting more stuff very soon. Take care, Kristy :)

PS-Buy your wife a tripod for her birthday, so you can have yours back! LOL:)

Kristy, I did not wait for her birthday! lol Dave

Hi Kristy,

many thanks for taking the time to comment on some of my pictures and portfolio. I had to follow up and have a look at your work and I'm really glad I did; wonderful stuff! I thought your panorama was great (must look excellent in print), and the canyon shots are stunning.

cheers,

Ben

Kristy,

I love your canyon pictures! Can't wait to get there myself! Bravo! Keith Harper here on PN also has some nice Antelope Canyon shots.

Oops! I was so blown away by your canyon pictures the first time I saw your portfolio that I didn't look closely at the Red Rock Canyon photo. Wow! That is an amazing shot! Raymond Banfield (a fan of yours apparently) told me to check it out because we'll be going there in a couple of weeks....actually to DVNP and Joshua Tree....maybe at the end of the week Red Rock or Valley of Fire...we'll see. Bravo on a spectacular shot....I hope I get something half that good!

Yeah, the panoramic icons show up sooo tiny here at PN, so sometimes nice images can be missed. That shot has been a good one! Alot of people really like that one and I feel so lucky to have captured Red Rock at a moment when everything was clicking just right! Thank you for your warm comments on it! (That's one of Ray's favorites too! Although I think he has some wonderful images of Red Rock too!)

Have a great time on your journeys and make sure while trying to get your own masterpieces through the lens, you also take the time to really enjoy the "in the moment" surroundings in each park too! Have fun and let me know when you post something! Take care! Kristy :)

I have to say that I was completely blown away by the lovely comment you added to my portfolio! Thank you so very much! Based upon my observations; you and I are, in fact, quite a lot alike. I have noticed that you are incredibly generous with your advice and comments; and you provide that advice and those comments in a positive vein and in the spirit of community. I also absolutely love your quest for perfection and knowledge. I have seen many of your comments where you have asked a photographer how she/he accomplished a certain technique or process. Lady, I've got to say that your work, so far, reflects that thirst for knowledge and quest for perfection. I have no doubt that you will soon be one of those photographers that we all desire to emulate. I for one am a huge fan of yours! Keep up the great work, Kristy! Finally, I think it'd be terrific for you, Ray, and I all to go out early some morning and shoot a sunrise in Valley of Fire or Red Rocks NCA. Cheers!

That has to be one of the best comments on my portfolio to date! I really appreciate your kindness and apologize for not seeing this sooner!

I agree that appreciation of others and general kindness goes along way towards everyone's learning curve and that is what we are here for to help each other to learn-and boy, I still have A LOT to learn when it comes to Photography! But it helps me tremendously when folks like you and Ray stop by often and contribute on my images.

On another note, (interestingly enough that I just saw this post), because I just spent the Easter weekend over near the Valley of Fire, but was only able to capture a very few shots. So, I hope to go back as soon as I can. Take care, and thanks again! It was a real treat to read your kind words...Kristy :)

I just read on another blog (http://www.enlightphoto.com/views/2008/08/23/honesty-in-nature-photography-101.htm#comments) how you did not come clean about manipulating your Antelope Canyon images. Checking them out for myself on photo.net I noticed another photographer calling you out on this but as yet you have not responded. Why?

I always feel it's the photographers' creative license to stretch the truth in their images if they so wish, as long as it's disclosed. Unfortunately when it isn't disclosed and the image is found to be faked the photographers' credibility is lost and even legitimate images will always be questioned in the future.

Alan, thank you for your comments. I had not responded to anyone's comments because I have not been on PN in many months. In fact, my subscription ended on the 16th of this month because I had not renewed it. I simply looked online tonight (Aug 25th) to see if my album was still online and saw your comment, which directed me to the comments your are asking about. You may read my response and take from it what you will. And I appreciate you pointing me in the direction of the other website so that I may defend myself from these ridiculously blown out of proportion accusations. I don't understand why people are so cruel to those of us who are beginning photographers, who don't ask us about our work or the methods in how we achieve images and seek to defame us. Thanks again for being concerned enough to enlighten me to what others have misrepresented for themselves!

I Like it

nice
