Emily B- Leaf Detail

This picture was taken on the Ross Bridge Trail a few weeks ago. I boosted the contrast, boosted the saturation, and blurred the background. I painted black to the background that was already dark just to make the background less distracting from the subject. I also painted black on the veins on the leaves to try and bring out as much details as possible. I’m really pleased with the final product. 

Jenna O- Olivia Foot

I took this picture for the hands and feet assignment. While I completely hate feet, I really like this picture because the chalk on her foot brings out the imprint of her foot…. granted this girl is like 9 years old and has a child’s foot (that’s why it’s so cute!). I changed the levels to bring out the texture and boosted exposure.

Maia S- XC State 2013

This is a picture of the guys who painted up and the guys who ran at the state xc meet. i took two pictures to make this panorama then put them together it took a lot of work to get them to line up but they finally did. i also adjusted the contrast and cropped some of the back ground out.

Abbey W- Flare

I took this picture for the hands and feet assignment. I made the image black and white and played with the brightness and contrast. I added a lens flare and put a mask on the image to paint with black around it. this image is alright but i like it. 

Victoria D- Birds

I took this picture at the beach.  I set my camera to as high key as possible and took this picture so that only the dark color of the birds would show.  i edited it by making the colors of the birds darker. i also cloned stamped a lot of it to add more subject to the super white photo.  If i could change anything i wish the bird on the left was more in focus. 

Alex E- Mushroom

I took this photo over this past summer in Kentucky. I found this mushroom in my Aunt and Umcle’s back yard. I thought it looked unique and the I loved the red color with the white spots. I edited with simple editing techniques with level, brightness/contrast, color adjustment, shadowing, sharpening, blur in the background, and spot healing tool.

Yesenia S - Hands and Feet

This image was taken for the Hands and Feet assignment. I actually ended up liking it because of the angle it was shot. I edited this photo my adjusting the levels and colors. I also added a Gaussian Blur Filter and used the Brush Tool to focus more on her hands. Overall, I liked it pretty much.

Catherine S- Clear Waters

This photograph is titled “Clear Waters” and was tank in the Smokies. I edited this image using the pictorial effect and adjusting some basic curves and lighting. It was taken on a Canon Rebel t3. My favorite part of this image is the clear green water. The only thing I would change about it is some of the bright white light reflecting off the water, but I like how it turned out.

Lakeshai B- Emily

I took this for the low key assignment of Emily. I colored in the black background and change the lighting i was really happy with the look i got in hear  faces.

Maia S- Hogwarts

i took this on my trip to orlando with the cross country team. i loved the way the sun was hitting the side of 'Hogwarts' and how the moon is just above it. i wish it was a little more in focus but i think that is the best i can get from my camera and how dark it was outside. 

Mariah M- Little Bit and Buddy

This is a picture I took the week my aunt came and stayed with us. These are two of her sweet little puppies. They are the most playful dogs and it was actually quite hard to get a somewhat good picture of them, but I ended up with this one, and Im happy with it! To edit it, all I did was crop it because there was a lot of unnecessary grass in the background and I also messed with the curves a bit to mess with the color of it some. But all in all I am happy with how it came out!

Morgan Ann C- In A Different Light

I took this picture in the stairwell of C hall. I took it during the period with light coming throughout the window. I made it black and white and adjusted the curves. I put a white layer over the picture and made the adjustment to difference. and masked the rest of it so it was just the windows.

Haley Y- Leaf

This picture I adjusted the brightness and contrast. So that the leaf stands out against the plane background. I also selected the back ground and made it black and white. I took tho picture in my front yard, of a leaf that had just fallen. 

Katie W- Light Orbital

I took this picture for the demo project. I did this picture by setting my camera to a shutter speed to 30 seconds. I tied a rope to a whisk, and I put steel wool inside the whisk and lighted it on fire. I got a friend to swing the rope and spine around so the end of the whisk hits the concrete to produce sparks. I didn't do much editing to this picture other than lightening the background to show more detail. Im very happy with the way this picture turned out.

Stephanie P- Katie

I took this picture for the hands and feet assignment. I really like how her face is blurry and her fingers are in focus. I edit the curve of this picture to make the colors brighter. I really like this picture.

Tripp S- At Bluff Park

This was taken at the Bluff Park Art Show with my Canon A1. This exposure was made on Velvia 100 by Fuji, a modern day slide slide film. Though the developing process was rather tedious (I had to wait over 2 weeks for my slides to come back from a lab in Florida) it was totally worth it. Never have I seen a film record color so accurately or with such saturation. Obviously it was scanned and minor edits were done in Lightroom.

Jenna O - White pumpkins

I took this picture this past weekend. We had white pumpkins for a wedding party. I love the lighting and the angle. I boosted the exposure and changed the levels and curves and added a layer mask to bring out texture.

Shelby C- Pepsi

I took this photo a Tanneill State Park a few weeks after school started. I edited this picture by brightening the curves. And I added highlights and bumped up the saturation. I love this photo because I love advertising, and I love the bright colors.

Victoria D- Grace

I took this picture at the beach of a feather.  I set the camera to as high key as you possibly can go to take this picture.  I edited it by sharpening the picture, i cloned stamped a lot of the pieces of sand to make the back ground not seem so white.  I love this picture because of how detailed the feather looks.  I also like how it look a like a painting gives people a different perspective of photograpghy. 

Ashley V-Broken

I named this picture Broken. I like it just cause the coloring of the bark i added in and it just makes the picture different. I like it but i could definitely make changes like the lighting and where the bark stands but it was good like that so i left it alone.
