Jahred T - Special?

This picture is named Special. I took it with a camera that I do not remember the name of. It was taken for the leaves project and I wished I could have gotten closer to it to take the picture but it was high up in a tree so I couldn’t. The reason it’s named Special is because it was the only colorful thing around there since the others had already fell

Macy M - Pretty Leaves

The title of this image is “Pretty Leaves”. I took this on November 4th at 5:30 pm. This is a tree in my neighbors yard. I took it with my Nikon D3400. For editing, I brightened the image, added saturation, added vibrance, added definition, and applied a Nik Collection color filter. I wish more leaves were in focus, and there is too much green.

Zach B. - Black Leaves

 I took this photo while at my grandmothers house for the sunset, not initially for this assignment. I thought the sunset did a great job highlighting the leaves themselves from the tree. I used a brush to write leaves and create the stars in the sky. I think the only thing I would do differently is to have the leaves as clear and sharp as possible to have more focus on them.

Danielle M - We Are The Dead

This photo is titled “We Are The Dead”. I took the picture with one of Rigsby’s cameras. It is based off of Julia and Winston’s relationship in George Orwell’s 1984. I took the image in the studio, specifically using the wine bottles because of the part of the book where Julia and Winston are offered wine by O’Brien, which is illegal. I used the dodge and burn tool in order to edit this image and took images of certain passages of the book in order to incorporate them into the image of the wine bottles. I’d like if the image was a little bit sharper, but overall I really like this picture, even if Mr. Rigsby despises these props.

Lauren B- UNA Lion

I took this photo at the University of North Alabama when I went to visit. They have real lions in an enclosure on campus, which is pretty cool. I took this with my Canon Rebel Ti6, just as the male lion was yawning. I edited this photo by cropping in on just the lion and increasing the vibrance and contrast. I also lightened the background and made his fur slightly darker. I think this could be better if it was taken at a better angle or the background was better.

Jasmine W - Dog

This image is called, “Dog”. I took this in my kitchen on January 2nd. It was taken with my iPhone 6s Plus. I edited by sharpening my dog, adding more saturation and making it more of an orange hue. I blurred the background and made the shadows more prominent. I really like this picture because my dog never sits still and this is essentially the best picture I have of him.

Esther K- White Chair

I named this picture “White Chair” because it is a white chair. This picture was taken October 30,2018 at 9:02 AM on the Hoover High School Campus. I really like picture and the way I edited it. I made the outside corners and edges more dark that way it builds more concentration on the object. Then after I completed that I made the chair look more drawn and look like its off a comic book. This would be better if I cleaned it up little bit.

Landon H- Abstract Field

This photo is called “ Abstract Field” I took it on October 28, 2018 at Old Baker Farms with my Canon SL1. The only reason this photo looks like this is because the original photo didn’t have a clear subject and it was super cluttered. So, I made one. I did all the color corrections in Lightroom and then I exported it to photoshop. I spent a lot of time using the pen tool to get the shape right. Then the rest of it was just blending options on the layer itself. I Really like this photo but the one thing I would change it that I would actually have a subject you could clearly tell.

Mia R - Bothersome

I took this last year when it snowed, walking to the fresh air farm. I took it with my canon camera. I edited it with Nik Collection to make it look vintage. It could be better if the car lights weren’t so bright maybe.

Michelle A- Chairs

   This is an example of what I am doing for my second assignment 9 weeks. I chose chairs because I thought of some creative ways of taking images of chairs and editing them. I took this picture with my Canon Rebel T21. This was at the Moss Rock cafe or whatever it’s named, I can’t remember. I just changed the colors to make it red and blue, before it was green and yellow.

Arzoo Q- Orange Door

This picture called Orange door. I took in downtown I took it with my canon. I edited by make it a brighter I made the door it’s self come out more. I liked how the door looks like a painting I think it could be better if I had cropped it out more and cleaned bit around it.

Magali Valdez - The girl with the Polka Dot Umbrella

The Girl with the Polkadot Umbrella is a picture that I took of my niece in Michigan. She is such an adorable, sweet child and I always have so much fun when I visit her. For this picture I really wanted to capture the innocent aspect of being a kid. For this image I used a green filter to give it a vintage tone while also making the red umbrella more vibrant. I also added a grain filter so add on to the old effect and it all came together to give a reminiscent feeling.

Dalton C. - Door

The title of this image is “Door”. I don’t remember when I took it but I know that I took it in Bessemer at the old train station. I took it with my Canon EOS Rebel. I edited it by turning down the brightness a little and then turning down the saturation. I think it could’ve been better if I took a straight shot on it, but there was stuff that I couldn’t move in front of it.

Olivia N- Autumn

The image is called Autumn and was taken in the courtyard on October 23,2018. The picture was taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T6. I edited the picture using a Nik Collection filter and adjusting the settings there and using Photoshop to fix certain areas. I edited the contrast and brightness to add more depth and added a vignette to have certain areas darker.The image could be better if the camera’s focus of the background was not as blurred and if the background was not as bright.

Alicia U- Brown Building

This image is called “brown building,”I took this image on a saturday afternoon when I went downtown with a friend. I took this image with my Canon Camera TSL1. I edited this image by playing around with the contrast and sharpening the image. I also made the sky more clear instead of having serval colors. I also cropped the image more to focus more into the building. I had the idea to bring out more of the warmth color it has on the building. I like the details the building has to it and how old it might be because you can serval colors it has to it. To make the picture better I would do some darkening around to make it focus on the middle or make it pop out more.

Raven H ~ Untitled

I took this picture in downtown Birmingham in August. My friends and I drove around finding places to take pictures when we found a tall parking lot with a great view. My friend Chase is the subject of the image. I did very little editing other than adding filters.

Braxton S- Reflect

The title of this image is Reflect. I took the picture in Bessemer at the old train station just before sunset. I took it with my Canon 50D. I edited it by lowering the exposure, brightness, contrast, and shadows. I think it could be better if I was able to somehow capture more reflections.
