Lesly M - Green

I edited this image by reflecting a pretty simple image and then I edited it with color balance making it green instead of rusty metal. The reflecting gave it a cool edit it looks more like a transformer spaceship to me lol. But yeah that’s just a observation that I had when looking at the image. I also darkened the image. I saturated the colors making it look more vibrant. I liked working with metals because the more you mess with it the cooler it looks to me.

Madelyn F- Leaves

I titled this picture leaves. I took it at Oak Mountain State Park when all of the leaves were still changing colors. I took it with my Nikon D7000 and edited by making the colors pop a little more along with brightening the overall image.

Nicole T - Light

The title of this image is Light. It was taken for the High-Key Low-Key Assignment and it was taken on the patio at Beef O’Brady’s in Helena with a Canon Powershot. I edited it by making it black and white and adjusting the contrast and brightness. I could be better if there was less grain at the fingertips.

Lesly M- Reflect

I took this picture during the fall. I edited by adding some saturation and darkness to the original image. Then I took the picture to Nik Collection filters and added this sunny looking filter. Although, I did leave some of the image unedited from the filter that I applied. It adds a unique look to the image, so I kept it that way. If I were to make this image better I would have taken Rigsby’s advise to put leafs around the mirror so that it look like a reflective hole.

Olivia H- Brother

I took this picture of my brother over the thanksgiving break with my cannon camera. To edit this I darkened the background and sharpened his face. I also brightened his eye and darkened his freckles so they pop out more. I darkened the photo and them I bumped up the contrast a bit. If I could change anything I would want his eye to be open a bit more.

Raven H ~ Blood Splatter

This image is titled Blood Splatter because of the deep red colored paint on the sink and wall. I took this picture while on the Earthborn field trip this year. I really love the sinister feel of the image after adjusting the colors and contrast and adding a Nik Collection filter. This image would be better if the clutter on the left side could be edited out and if the red was more bold.

Ryan F- Light Waves

This picture is called “Light Waves” because of the different colors of light. I took it a month or two ago in Hoover, Al at night. I edited it by using hue layer to change the color of the light to how I preferred it.

Taylor D- Drain

This is a drain looking thing Im not sure what it is but it looked cool for the architecture assignment. This was at the Finley center around a couple weeks ago. I brightened and contrasted it so the details can come up more and added exposure to it along with making it black and white.

Julia M- Thoughts

This picture is called “Thoughts”. It is a picture of my sweet old man dog, Barney, enjoying a nice look out the window. I called this photo thoughts because it looks like he is really thinking about something wonderful, in all reality he probably saw a leaf but I enjoy the imagination. I took this photo just the other day with my iPhone. I edited it by blurring the background just a tad and giving him some interesting coloring with the Analog filters. He is general more brown and black so I tried to accentuate that with the filter. The only thing I wish was better is if a got a more direct angle in his face to show more emotion.

Dayne M- Small World

I titled the image “Small World” because it is a panorama that I made look like its own little world. I took it two weeks ago in my neighborhood with my Nikon D5500. I edited the image by cloning any blemishes in the image and changing the hue and saturation a bit. It could be better if the sky wasn’t so packed with clouds and if the circle in the middle was not filled with shadows. Other than that, I like the image and the way it turned out.

Asil H- Leaves

I titled this image as leaves. I took this picture couple of weeks ago in my backyard with my Nikon D3200. I edited this picture by cropping it and playing around with the filters

Alyssa R- Emma

This image is titled “Emma” because it is of my sister Emma, we were in the house on a Saturday afternoon and we played around with paint. I increased the saturation a little bit and darkened it but I now realize how uneven it is. It slowly fades to lighter and I did also add some grain. I took this with my Canon Rebel T6.

Raven H ~ Light at the End of the Tunnel

This picture is titled Light at the End of the Tunnel. I took this picture last year in downtown Birmingham. I put several filters and adjusted the lighting, colors, and sharpness. This is one of my favorite pictures that I’ve taken. It could’ve been better if I had made it less grainy.

Taylor D- Low Key Boot

This is just a picture of a boot I took for the high key low key project. I like this picture just because of the low exposure that was added. This was taken with one of Mr. Rigsby’s camera’s in the studio. It could be better if I had used a different type of shoe instead of the same one.

Julia M- Can Glory

This image is called “Can Glory”. It was taken just the other day in Mr.Rigsbys photo studio. It is a picture of a Vanilla Coke can. I took it with my Nikon D80 with a black backdrop. I edited it by enhancing the colors just a tad and darkening it so the can almost disappears in the background but it still outlined. I feel this photo could have been better if it was just a little sharper, I tried but I never was able to get it to where I wanted it. I really did however enjoy photographing the can because I got to drink it first and man Vanilla Coke is the bomb digity.

Heath M- Pottery

The title of this picture is called “Pottery”. This was taken on the pottery/photography field trip a couple weeks ago. This was taken with my Canon EOS 40D and I edited it by using the different adjustments, making the background black and white, and using other tools to make the bowl stand out. I believe that this picture could be better by possibly using something to make it stand out more but I don’t know what.

Cullen S- Mistake

This picture is titled, Mistake because that is literally what it was. My friend and I were messing around trying to make sure the settings for long exposure on my camera were already set up to the perfect settings and in the process of doing so I set up this shot. I waved around the flashlight on my phone while my buddy stood behind me standing and not moving to keep himself in a stationary spot. I went through my pictures after and I actually really liked this practice shot so I chose to keep it.

DeVaun J- Hand

I took this picture on September 27th. I edited it by putting a filter on only my hand and leaving the background without one. I also brightened the entire picture.It could be better if you could see more of my hand.

Cameron S- Unnatural

This pic is titled Unnatural.I took this at Oak Mountain State park with my NikonD5300. I changed the curves and added shapes. When I added a shape I would Invert the color. This is way out of my comfort zone, I normally don’t edit pics like this but just decided to have fun with it.  

Lesly M- Giraffe and Shades

It was taken a long time ago in a basement where a lot of other old stuff was. I edited it by putting the saturation up and playing around with the color balance. I then added some noise and then darkened it. This combo is pretty iconic so the giraffe and shades had to be a shot taken.

Anna Grace L- Glowing Birds

This picture was taken at the Birmingham Zoo and all I really did to edit it was apply a filter. I really like this image because of the way the birds are sitting on the fence. I took this with a canon rebel t5. I could make this better if the lighting was different and if it was cropped more.

Asil H- Hands

I titled this image Hands. I took this picture a few weeks ago for hands and feet assignment. I took it with my Nikon D3200. I edit it by playing around with the filters.

Nicole T - Purple Flowers

The title of this image is Purple Flowers. It was taken in the studio in Mr.Rigsby’s room for the High Key-Low Key assignment. I took it with Mr.Rigsby’s Pentax. I edited it by increasing the brightness, vibrance, and exposure. It could be better if some of the flowers in the back were a little more in focus and if the dark purple flower in the front was more in focus.

Julia M.- Brady

This picture is titled “Brady”. It was taken yesterday while I was outside playing with my brothers. In this picture my little brother Brady, age 7, was trying to follow a paper airplane with his eyes. This picture was taken with my Nikon D80. I edited it by making him sharper and more clear, adding an analog filter and making him more soft. I tried to make the picture feel warm and distant. I swear there is no picture I have taken of him where he doesn’t look like he’s walked out of a photoshoot or something. I feel this picture could have been better if he was wearing a different shirt because I feel the red is too harsh and if I had captured his eyes better.

Dayne M- Building Reflection

I decided to name this image “Building Reflection” since I copied a piece of the building to fill in the empty sky some. I took it over the summer in New York City with my Nikon D5500. I edited it by decreasing the saturation and reflecting the piece of the building. It could be better if the reflected part was not angled up and to the side a bit, but other than that I am happy with the way it turned out.

Olivia H. - Green

I took this photo with my Canon camera. I took it over the weekend before Halloween. To edit it I darkened the background and I made the contrast higher. I sharpened the image and I mad the leaves pop out more. I wish it could have been more focused and the bottom leaves looked better.

Alyssa R- Flower

This image is titled “Flower” because it is of a flower made of tights and wires. I took the image for the High and Low Key assignment and I held this flower against the light of a lamp which created the light and shadow in this image. I took this with my Canon Rebel T6 a couple of weeks ago. I placed a black and white filter on this image and then adjusted the levels to make it darker. I also colored the background black to make it all an even color. I think I could make the uneven spots on the flower an even color and get rid of all the fuzz that is lining it.

Alli J- Hannah

This is a photo of my 9 year old Shih-zhu pup. Her name is Hannah. She was laying on my bed with me one day and I thought she looked super photogenic and so I took a few pics. And out of all the ones I took this is my favorite :)

Nicole T - Our Minds are Sick

The title of this image is Our Minds are Sick. It was taken in my room a few weeks ago for the Hands and Feet Assignment. It was taken with a Sony Cybershot. I edited it by increasing the contrast, decreasing the brightness, darling and lightening areas with burn and dodge, and adding a cooling filter. It could be better if it was a little less noisy and if my wrist looked less yellow and discolored.

Madelyn F- Horse Show

I took this photo at a horse show. I enjoyed capturing moments between a rider and her horse. This was one of my favorites from the show. I lowered my shutter to get a darker exposure to create some nice shadows and bumped up my ISO to decrease blur. Only thing I would change is the background of the picture.

Ryan F- Caged Bird

This picture is called “Caged Bird.” This picture was taken last year in downtown Birmingham with my Canon T5i. I edited it by changing all the colors and lighting, along with adding a feather pattern on top in a composite style.

Trey D- Pinecone

The title of the image is “Pinecone”. I took this a while back at my house. I took this with my phone. I did some adjustments to the brightness, contrast, and to the vibrance. I also added some filters to it. I could have lowered the brightness a little bit and crop the image.

Olivia H.- Sister

This is a photo of my younger sister that I took for the hands and feet project. To edit I darkened the background and I sharpened the hands holding the pineapple. I fixed her fingernails to remove the chipped paint. I also made her dress black and white. I took this photo with my cannon camera in my backyard.

Cullen S - Faded

This picture is titled Faded because there is a way of editing I do in both Lightroom and photoshop where I combine some of my techniques to some presets I have set up through Lightroom and I just see where the editing kinda takes me. I cropped this picture to get the focus more on the object here that has taken over most of the picture than the light pole in the background that you can’t seen now. I set up this picture with Ryan by making that angle try to be perfect and also by helping Ryan not burn himself too. The color goes really well with this picture and I honestly don’t know what I could do to make this picture any better.

Anna Grace L- Peach

This image is called Peach because there is a peach in the hands of my model. It was taken in the photography studio in a pretty low amount of light. It was taken with a Pentax K200D. I used an overlay filter to darken and lighten the hands and the peach itself. The image could be better if the models hand had not turned out so pink.

Heath M- Glitter Hands

The title of the selected image is called “Glitter Hands” and it was taken a few weeks ago during the Hands and Feet Assignment. It was taken with my Canon EOS 40D and I edited it by using the levels, dodge and burn, and cropping tools. I believe that I could maybe make it better lightening the middle part of the hands more and making them more attention drawing.

Asil H- Flower

I titled this image as flower. I took this picture with my Nikon D3200. This picture was taken few months ago. I edited this picture by cropping it and playing around with the filters.

Taylor D- Hand

The title of this picture is called hand just because it’s just a hand. It was taken a few weeks ago when doing the hands and feet assignment. It was taken with a Nikon 5200. I brightened it up and the contrast along with the saturation.

Alicia U-Pretty White Flower

This picture was taken at my uncle's place in Chicago, with my Canon camera.
I made this picture by cropping it and turn up the brightness and the making the contrast brighter too. I think i could have done better if I play around with the filters and maybe dogging it and burn some sides. Also making the picture more clear.

Raven H ~ Agaze

This image is titled Agaze. I took this picture on the earth born field trip of one of the dogs. I did not edit this image, this is the original. I love the detail and dramatic look of the the darkness but the light on the outside.

Dayne M- Skyscraper

The title of the image is “Skyscraper” because it is an image of a newly built skyscraper in New York City. I took this over the summer with my Nikon D5500. It could be better if the pink blended more with the sky throughout rather than just the bottom. I edited the image by adding a bi color user defined filter to the image and then made the building black and white.

Alyssa R- Saturday Afternoon

This image was taken a couple weekends ago of my friend’s had at Moss Rock on a Saturday Afternoon. It was taken with my Canon Rebel T6 and I edited the lighting a little bit, I made it darker and brightened up the colors. It could be better by maybe brightening up the hand to place more focus on it.

DeVaun J- Field

The name of this picture is Field. I took it behind the fence near the band field. I took it with my snapchat camera then I used photoshop to darken the background and brighten the grass. It could be better if it wasn’t quite so foggy.

Cameron S- I've Got the Light

This pic is titled “I’ve Got the Light”. I took this with my Nikon D5300 and I edited it by making the background black and white and darkening the background. I also lightened the hand a little bit too.

Anna Grace L-Kacker

The title of this image is Kacker and it was taken at Buck Creek in Helena. It was taken with a Canon Rebel T5 and then edited with Light Room mainly to make it lack and white and edit out a few blemishes. It could be better if some of the stray hairs were not as obvious. All if the subject was turned more the image would be more centered.

Brandon H- Blind

This picture was taken at the preserve on the day of the eclipse. The guy in the photo is my main man Ethan. I used Josef’s camera to take it, I think he has a Nikon but I may be wrong. I edited this by dulling the color in the background and boosting the contrast and brightness of the subject. I edited him a little but not much. I could have made this batter by spending more time working on the brightness and contrast because I feel like its a little much.

Madelyn F- Flower

I like this picture because of the shallow depth of field and detail in the flower and hands. I took it with my Nikon D7000. I edited it by lightening it up a little bit and fixing some of the shadows. The only thing I would do different is brighten the edges of it a little more.

Julia M- Lights

This picture is called “Lights”. IT was taken at the Hoover vs Spain Park football game. This is a picture of my friend Chris, he is a trombone player in the Hoover Band. Real cool dude. This was taken with my Nikon D80 when I went to visit my band friends in the stand. I edited it by enhancing Chris and the light coming front in front of him. I also added some blur to really focus on him. I think this could have been better if the picture was more clear (my hands were a lil shaky) and if it wasn’t really bright.

Landon H - Trooper

The title of the Image I chose is “Trooper”. It was taken in my backyard about two Sundays ago around 6:30. It was taken with my Nikon D60 gold Edition. I edited it by sharpening and smoothing a lot, along with darkening the edges, applying a B&W filter then coloring in his collar. It could be better if it were clearer, and a tad brighter.

Raven H ~ Beautiful Bride

The title of this image is Beautiful Bride. I took this picture at my uncle’s wedding while being the photographer for them. I love the greenery behind her and her make up looks really nice in the light. This is one of my favorite images from the wedding. The only editing I did to this picture was to brighten it and add vibrance.
