Haley Y- Standing Out

I took this picture in my back yard. I liked how the one leaf stood out from the rest. To edit this I changed the brightness and contrast. Then I blurred the background more. 

lakeshia B- Never Forgotten

I told this photo in down town for the leaves assignment. I boosted the colors throughout the photo and i cleaned up the side walk and changed the color. In the center i made it so the it was filed with more leaves.  

Mary L- Low Key

I took this picture for the high key and low key assignment. I cropped down the picture and also changed it to black and white. For the exposure I turned it down to negative 1 and also adjusted the curves. I really like how this turned out. 

Shelby C- Blue Circles

This Picture is a blue jacket at Forever 21a few weeks ago, for the circles project. I love the colors in this picture.  edited this by adding contrast and I added the box blur to draw your eyes to the buttons.

Emily W- Hand and Hourglass

I took this photo for the Hands and Feet assignment. I took the picture in the studio in the back room. I usually keep the editing really simple. I adjusted the levels, brightness, and contrast.

Samantha D- Unknown Soldier

I took this picture over the summer at Arlington Cemetery. I adjusted the contrast and made the image a little sharper.

Tripp S- Kilt Wearing Gentleman

This was taken at the Moss Rock art festival. This kilt wearing gentlman was a blacksmith selling iron working stuff and things. I am very happy with this shot just because of the contrast of cooler colors in the foreground and warmer fall colors in the background. Tr

Ashley V- Chelsea

This is a picture of my friend Chelsea, I was taking her senior pictures for her. I really liked the leaves and how they were definitely fall. All i really did for this picture was ad some vibrance and saturation. Its the perfect cliché fall picture. Thats probably what i like most. 

Katie .- Ballerina Feet

I took this picture of the hands and feet project. I took this picture at my friend’s dance studio. I laid down on the floor with my camera and just started taking pictures. I edited this picture my lightening the image, and adjusted the levels, then I made the picture black and white. I really like how the picture turned out, I like how the front foot is more in focus than the back foot. But I wish that I zoomed out more to show more of the front leg. Overall, I’m happy with the outcome!

Amelia S- Cracked Face

I edited this picture for our demo project. I followed instructions from a website and the end product turned out like this. I didn’t edit the image much I just adjusted the shadows and highlights once I was finished editing the crack. I think it turned out really good

Stephanie P- Chair

I took this picture for the circles, chairs, or doors assignment. I was taking pictures of circles, but this picture works for chairs also. The first thing I did was make the background back and white and then I boosted the saturation on the whole picture to make the background have darker blacks and to make the chair pop more. I am really happy with how this picture turned out.

Katie W- Spinning Flames

Victoria D- Pale Flock

Will C- Falling Apart

Will C- Make it Levitate

I took this picture a few weeks ago on morris ave in Downtown Bham. I had to take two pictures and blend them together, and erase the stool abbey was laying on. I like how it turned out. If I could change it, I would have her in better lighting. Her body is too dark and the background is too light. Also, her hair is sort of spotty from when I had to clone stamp her hair. Overall I am happy with it and I think it turned out good for my first levitation attempt.
