Jacob T- Painted Bugs

I called this picture painted bugs because they two cars can be called bugs and it’s one of the pictures I’ve experimented with doing a painted style. This was taken last year during spring break in Andalusia Alabama. I took the picture with my Canon Rebel T6. I edited it to try and make it look like it was a painting. I think it could be better if I Could have cropped it a little wider. There was another old car to the right that I wanted to get out of the frame. I also think that the painting style could be better.

Mollie E- "Tuscaloosa Sun"

The title of this image is “Tuscaloosa Sun” because it was taken in Tuscaloosa at sunset. I took this image with my Nikon d3400 camera. I edited this picture by brightening it up a little bit and messing with the levels and curves tools. As well, I added a Bi-color filter using the Nik collection Color Efex Pro tool in Photoshop. I also rotated the image because I had taken it upside down so this way it looks natural. I think the image could have been better if more of the grass was in focus.

Omar S. - Leaves

I titled this image leaves because thats what they are. I took this image at the heardmont park a few weeks ago. The leaves were originally until I used the NIK collection to change the color to an orange-yellow mixture. This image could be better if the leaves in the top left corner weren’t faded by the sunlight coming through the leaves.

Hannah J- Up and Up Again

This picture is called Up and Up Again. It was taken in San Francisco over the summer. I took it with my Canon PowerShot and I edited it by adding a filter and messing with the colors. It would be better if the colors were less splotchy.

Alexa S- Trash Taxi

The title of this image is Trash Taxi. It was taken in Old Town Helena on my Canon SL1. I edited it in Photoshop. I cropped and rotated it and I also used the dodge tool and the burn tool to brighten the main subject and darken the area around it. It could be better if there wasn’t a glare on the dumpster.

Olivia H- Untitled

I took this picture downtown Birmingham over the weekend. I took this with my Canon T-6. To edit this photo I made it black and white. I also sharpened, brightened it. I burned some of the edges to make them more noticeable. I wish I could make this picture more drastic and more defined. I really like this photo though because of the edges and the shadows.

Heath M- Between The Trees

This picture is titled “Between The Trees”. I took it with my Canon EOS 70D when the XC went to Wyoming. I edited this picture by burning and dodging, adjusting many of the tool options, and contrasting it a bit. At the time I can not think of anything to possibly make this picture better. Overall, I had a great time taking and editing this picture.

Carson R - Foxier

This image is entitled “Foxier”. This was taken at the Birmingham Zoo in May 2018 with my Nikon d3400. I edited this image by increasing the contrast, brightening the eyes with the dodge tool, and then I used a filter from Nik collection to make it warmer. I think this image could be better if the tail did not have that weird yellow tint. Overall, I really like this picture.

Austin C. - "Faces"

The titles of this image is “Faces”. It was mostly taken in the studio in the photography room over a couple days. The pictures were taken with the Canon t6. I took a bunch of different portatraits of different people and layered them on to each other. I blended them together to make it somewhat flush and messed around with brightness, contrast, blending modes, opacity, and many other things that when combined, came out to be this image. I think it could be better if the colors were a little bit different and some focus issues. It was a joy to make and I love the idea of layering pictures on top of each other. Overall it was a fun project.

Annalisa P- Rose Bud

The name of my image is called Rose Bud. I took this picture in a bush of roses at the entrance of my neighborhood. It was taken with my canon T6 and edited using photoshop. I brought out the debth and sharpened the image because at first it was blurry. I think it could have been better if I did not have to sharpen it, if it waste blurry in the first place.

Alex H- Untitled

This photo was taken almost two years ago, I honestly don’t remember anything about it but I really like it and I’ve never done anything with it. I edited it by messing with the color balance and making it bluer and from there I used Analog Fx filters and used classic camera one and turned down the strength and the grain to keep it clear. I think it could be better if you could more distinctly see the star and the shadow.

Emily R- ESNY

The title of this image is ESNY, because that is the title of the song that this image portrays. This was taken around September at Alexa’s house. It was taken with a Cannon. I added grain, brightened it, and cleaned it up a little. The background could be a little more focused. Overall, I like this image.

Macy M - Untitled Moon

There is no title for this image. The moon was taken in my backyard while the building was taken in Gatlinburg during last New Years. This was taken with my Nikon D3400. I merged the two photos and added a yellow tint. I wish they had merged a little better and were sharper.

Jasmine W - Railroad Park Ducks

This picture was taken at Railroad Park on October 6, 2018. It was taken with a Canon Powershot SX530 HS. I edited it by turning up the brightness and the contract. Sharpened the ducks so they could stand out more against the water. I’m not quite sure how it could be better, but I am sure there is some way that it could be.

Heath M- Machu Picchu

This picture is called “Machu Picchu”. I took this picture with my Canon EOS 70D while in Peru over the summer. It was taken at around 6:00 p.m. I edited this picture by taking a panorama of the site to get the grander picture of it all. I also adjusted the temperature a bit and burned some areas. I like this picture because it was an amazing trip and it captures how amazing this historical site truly is. I believe that it could have been better if I had brought my tripod to stabilize it more but other than that I am very pleased with how this picture turned out.

Arzoo Q- Night

This picture is from the movie project that we were suppose to do and it is called night. The only thing that I did was I brightened the picture so that the jacket so brighten a little bit more. I could have made the picture better by making the stop sign and the car in the background disappear.

Magali V. - My Mia

This picture is named “My Mia” and it is a picture of my dog on our porch. I had morning lighting which made the picture have some line shadows. I took this with my iPhone since it is really hard for dogs to stay still unless there is a piece of toast in front of the camera. In Photoshop, I edit this picture by adding a cool tone filter so that Mia’s fur had more detail in the picture. In addition to the filter, I also toned down the exposure and toned up the contrast of shadows. I tried to keep the subject (dog) to brighten ought so that she would be the focus of the image. This picture would be better if I had taken it with my camera and thus be able to better eat it, but Mia still looks adorable.

Dalton C. - Point

The title of this image is Point. It was taken in Bessemer near the railroad station. It was taken with my Canon Rebel Ti1. I edited it by turning up the contrast and adjusting saturation. I think it could be better if I took it at a different angle that kept the painting level with the horizon.

Mollie E- "Off The Rails"

This image is entitled “Off the Rails” because it is an image of railroad tracks. I don’t know exactly where this image was taken but it was taken in August of 2018. I used the color Efex pro filter in Photoshop as well as messed with the levels and curves to edit this image. I also got rid of a car and some signs that were in the background. I think this image could have been better if it was less saturated.

Olivia N- Bloom

The image is called Bloom and was taken in Hoover,Al on October 9,2018.The photo was taken with my phone and was edited in Photoshop.I edited the photo by adding a filter and adjusting the brightness and shadows in multiple places.I think the image could be better if it was taken in a different angle.
