Steven L- Ocean

It’s a simple picture of the sea, there is nothing particularly important about it. I took it when I was at the beach for a day, and I edited by applying a motion blur motion and a HDR filter. Lastly I increase the brightness and the shadows. I think it looks good, not my best picture but I like it. 

 

Emily K - Puerto Rico Building

 This picture is titled Puerto Rico Building because I took it during spring break in Puerto Rico with my Canon rebel t7. I brightened up the image and messed with the blue tones. I think it could be better if I dodged some of the darkness under the awnings. But overall, this was a fun assignment and I had a great time taking pictures in Puerto Rico!

Maci J- Spring Bud

 The title of this image is “Spring Bud”. I took this photo in my backyard sometime in March with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras. I edited this photo by making adjustments to the clarity and used the dodge tool to make some areas brighter. I think the quality of this image is good enough I just think it’s kind of a boring subject. This photo was supposed to be one of my transition photos between winter and spring; I think it kind of achieves this purpose but it’s not one of my stronger images. 

Brandon B- Take My Hand

This image is title “Take My Hand”, and is an I took of my hand with fake blood on it.  I took this image on April 1st in my garage around four in the afternoon.  My editing started with removing my hand from it's original background, making it as it's own layer.  Next I created a background with a picture I took of clouds, and used a blending/smudge brush to blend it into the seen background.  I added White and black color to the background mix to show some light and dark at the top and bottom respectively.  I masked some of the background around the wrist of my hand.  Next I used a screentone brush in green to splotch around the image for added detail.  From there I flattened the image in order to apply curve adjustments and Nik collection filters.  This could be better if I spent more time on the masking and details at the end.

 

Wendy S- Oreo

The title for this photo is my Dog's name “Oreo”. It was taken at a parking lot on a weekend, It was taken with my iPhone. I edited it by removing some leaves and cracks on the road, I also brightened the brown on his eye. It would be better if Oreo were looking up a bit more so that his whole face was in the shot but other than that it was a nice photo.  

 

Emma B- Not Listening

 This image was taken in the studio at school on February 7th, 2024. I took this image with the Canon t6. I edited the image by combining my different exposure photos into one which is called an HDR. Next, I chose a filter to be applied on top of the image from the HDR selections. Finally, I went into Photoshop, removed her fly-aways, and smoothed the background. It would be better if I had a better background.

Michelle R- Sorpresa

Sorpresa in English means surprise. It was taken at a parking lot and it was taken on Valentines Day. The photo was taken with my Canon camera. I retouched some spots and lights the color within the flowers and I also darken the background to center the flowers and the inside of the car. I believe if I could have spread out more of the white balloons I would have even inside the car. Everyone deserves flowers, not just girls but boys too.

 

Aidan P- Abandoned Mall

 This image was taken January 6 at the abandoned Montgomery Mall with my Canon Rebel T7. I used a customized Low Key filter from the Nik Collection and after that I went to the Camera Raw Filter to change some specific parts of the image. It was a little blurry and grainy in some parts of the image if you look at it big. I did enjoy taking the picture though and it was definitely fun to explore to the mall.

Mia N- Black & White

 I took this picture a few weeks ago in the photography studio at school. I took it with a Canon camera. I edited this picture by putting two pictures together and making it black and white. I edited the lighting and exposure,I think that more details would probably make the picture better.

Caroline M- Anna's House

 The title of this image is Anna’s House. I took this on October 15, 2023 with my Nikon D3300 at a Girl Scout camp. I didn't do much to the photo but adjust the contrast. I wish it was a little more in focus and that I either removed or changed the color of some of the leaves.

Anthony SM- Back on 11/31/22

I took this photo back on 11/31/22 when it was Halloween me and my friends went to a call meet and took of couple of photo and a chill guy let us take some photo of his car and i let my friend do some poses there was another one but i don't think i can show it so i'm just show this one. :D  

Marcie M - Amethyst Haze

 I took this image in my backyard one early foggy morning and I edited it to make it purple and ethereal. I like the slight blue tones and the light to add a bit of variety to the colors. I wanted to make this image pleasing to look at and I also wanted to experiment with unnatural tones/colors for a nature scene. 

Nikolaus H- Food Mart

This photo is named ‘Food Mart’. It was taken in an abandoned mall with my Pentax k1000 about a month ago. This photo is unedited in order to show the most of the original feel of the space. I do think I could’ve improved it by darkening the blacks and adding highlights. 

 

Helen S- Mixed Emotions

I titled my image “Mixed Emotions”. I took this picture in late February/early March of this year. I worked with Emily and Emma, and Emily was the model. I took this with Mr. Rigsby's camera he keeps in the back studio. I blended 2 images together. I made the background image black and white and kept the top image in color. I wanted to make the background black and white to make the lights and tone of the other image stand out more. I think the blending from the colored image to the black and white image could have definitely been smoother but overall I am really proud of both images and the final result.

 

Kenn J- Starlight

 The title for this image is Starlight. This was taken in the photography room and it was taken this month for out light painting assignment. This was taken with a digital camera and was then edited in photomatic. The thing i would wish the gaps in the picture where there isn’t much light

Sophia T - Vintage Romance

 The title of this image is called “Vintage Romance” and was taken in a building in Homewood that has recently been gutted. This image is a part of my most recent series that is based on old-school love. I used the double exposure preset in Nik Collection on Photoshop to give the image a dazed effect - reflective of the feeling of falling head over heels for someone. I also made some simple adjustments to this image: decreasing the exposure, increasing the color saturation, and increasing the contrast. Overall, I am happy with how this image turned out. My beautiful model made it easy for me to have many great photo options to choose from. I’m open to suggestions on how to make this image better. 

Paris C- Height

This image is named height because of the tallness of the animal in the photo. It was taken at the zoo last april on a school field trip. It was taken with my phone due to the fact I had forgotten my camera. It was edited by adding more contrast, some cropping, controlling the brightness, and makingthe colors more vibrant.

Alex B H - Pabu

 I named this image “Pabu” because the ferret pictured is named Pabu. This was taken at Nikolaus’ house on Jan 24th 2024. I took this image with my Canon Rebel T3. I used photoshop and the camera raw filter to edit this photo. 

Kay A- Talking to the Moon

 The name of this picture is “Talking to the Moon” I took this picture on December 26, 2023, on a Trip to Atlanta with my iPhone 11, I edited by using the dodge filter to make the moon a little bit brighter while I also lowered the shadows for the rest of the picture so that it would be more focused on the moon, I think it could be better if I lowered the brightness of the building a little bit more.
