Sasha C - Big Bird


 The Big Bird.  This Picture is a composite, contains 3 images. This picture was taken with Nikon D3200. All of the 3 pictures were taken in different places. The Picture of the Bird was taken at the Birmingham Zoo. The BackGround picture of leaves was taken In my neighborhood. The Lamppost was taken in Boston. The way I edited a lot of layers of the picture looks as real as it can and I played around with Hue/Saturation. 



Merit O- Happiness


 The name of this image is Happiness. I took the picture downtown January 31st when I was hanging out with some friends. I took the picture with my canon table T5. I originally took about 15 pictures of it and then put them together in photoshop to make it a panorama. I then edited it by making it more saturated and vibrant, and changing the color tent. I like how t came out, I think it could be better if I moved to the right some and tried to get the same amount of parking spots under it. 

Jerusha K- Piccolo


 This image is a composite from our last project and I have combined some piccolo photos that I took in the band room with Mr. Rigsby’s camera. I used the pictures from another assignment. I duplicated the corner pics to be mirroring each other and I added a hand heart silhouette on the actual body of the piccolo. The blending is not the best I could not really get the fade in the top right corner of the end of the piccolo right and the same with the bottom. If I blended the corner pics better and warped the hand on the body of the piccolo it would make the photo so much better.

Mitchell C - Bennett


 The title of this image is Bennett, named after my little brother. I took this picture on my back patio a few years ago. This was my first time using an 85mm 1.2 with my Rebel t5i. I think that the image turned out amazing. I like the composition and how close my brother is. I, of course, converted this image to a black and white, adjusted the contrast and brightness. On the contrary, I don't really like the grain on the side. It had nothing to do with my camera settings, it appeared in post production. As soon as I changed it to a B&W, this is what happened. But I still really like this image and the way it turned out. 


Julien F - Happy Cat


 I call this picture Happy Cat because it’s my cat happily sleeping in the sun on top of my sister’s record player. I took this a about a week ago on my phone while working on the panorama assignment. I didn’t do any editing to image and I’m happy with how this came out. It’s very simple but looks nice.

Katie H - Light



The title of my image is Light. It was taken in my house this past weekend. It was taken with my nikon camera. I edited it first by cropping it down a little bit. I manipulated the color, brightness, and contrast of the photo. I also dodged the face and did some drawing on the lights. It could be better if I darken the background more. Overall, I like how the photo turned out! 



 

Clay K- Composite


 The picture was taken all over the place. The picture was for one of the composite assignments and it was taken with a Nikon D5000. The picture was edited by layering the images, changing their opacities to fit, and using masks in order to reveal the lower images. The image could be better if I would remove the yellow flower.

Hayden M - Hugging Corners


 This image is called “Hugging Corners”. This was taken up in Leeds on the windy roads they have over there. It is one of my clients' McLaren 720s Spyder in Aztec Gold. I edited it by making the overall photo warmer and bringing up the shadows, plus a lot more I don’t feel like explaining lol. This is my favorite image from the whole set and there's not much I would change about this picture other than having to edit a gold car is the absolute hardest thing to do.


Bryson S - Elementary


 I took the pictures used in this composite for the Composite Assignment, one of clouds, one of a rock wall at Moss Rock, and one of the ceiling of the Hoover Cafeteria. I edited the image by using the color key feature to isolate a selection to specifically the background colors, then overlayed the image of rocks onto the ceiling tiles. I’m proud of how this one came out, because it reminds me of the kind of graphics they would use during elementary school slideshows, a feeling I was aiming to reproduce. If I could make the image again from scratch, I would add more of a focused subject, as it is the image is very much a background decoration. Either way, I’m happy with how it came out.

Eduardo M- Dark Community


 

This picture is one of my favorites. I took it during quarantine, me and my friend head towards Atlanta around 12:AM and  I saw this street and I took a picture of it. I took it with my old IPhone 6 plus. I didn't edit it but I think it could've been better quality but some edition.


AINSLEY M- Untitled


 This image doesn’t have a title, but it was taken a few weeks ago with a Nikon d3500 in my bathtub. I edited this picture quite q bit because the original image was really overexposed, so I started with adjusting the lighting and contrast, and then the different hues. After I cleaned up the water with the clone and stamp tool I added a few contrasting boxes over the image. In these I just increased the brightness and lowered the contrast, and then changed it to a warmer tone. I really like how it turned out but also feel like there is something that could be improved. 

Alana W- Composite 2 (1)


 The title of this image is Composite 2, which was taken for the composite assignment and it is combined with 3 different images that were taken from the last 2 years by my Canon Rebel T6 camera. I edited this image by first changing the color and brightness and contrast of the clouds which is a separate image, then I edited the silhouette of the trees and railroad tracks with brightness and contrast and adjusting the exposure, and finally, I combine all the images together into one of the pictures of hands I used for the Hands and Feet Assignment. I feel like this could have been better if I changed the color of the overall background, but overall I am satisfied with my results.

Emaleigh S- A Journey


 The title of the image is “A Journey.” I took this photo at the old set of the movie “Big Fish” in Spectre, Alabama. I took this photo with my grandmother's Nikon D7200 camera. I edited this photo by adding a quote that related with the theme I was trying to achieve. I also brought out the colors in the wood, and sharpened the image. I believe the image would be better if it was centered differently. 


JIYA P-Eight Nights of Light


 The title of my image is Eight Nights of Light. I don’t remember when I took this but I do remember I took it in my sister’s closet. It was all dark and from one side my grandma had a flash on so you can see a little reflection of light. I took it with my camera, Canon Rebel EOS T7. This image contains two more, so it’s a total of three images. I convert the lights into a black and white filter and pull the brightness of the color pencil image. I don’t think I could do any better than this. 


Jack J - Blue Eyes


 My image is title “Blue Eyes” and it was taken in October 2019 at Simmons Middle School when I was shooting for the Portrait Assignment. This image was taken with my Canon Rebel T3 and I edited the image by turning it to b/w then colorizing the eyes. The image could be better if it was not so close up to the model's face but overall considering when I took it I think it was good for that time and my skill set then.

Evelyn C - Wonder


  The name of my image is Wonder and it is a combination of three images taken by my Canon Rebel T6. Two of them were taken at my apartment complex and one from Aldridge Gardens. 

For the background image I amplified the contrast and vibrance of the sky and changed the hue of the picture to be a more blueish on top and reddish-pink at the bottom. I then overlaid a worm’s eye of flowers and grass. Then I used a mask to erase the excess space that wasn’t the main flower and covering the background image’s sky.  The last image of the bench was overlaid, turned, reduced in opacity, and leaves were erased out. And I copied the layer again to make the lines more prominent. Overall, I really like how it turned out because of the worm’s eye view and the dual colors of the sky.

In the end I am really happy by the vibrancy and combination of these pictures. The main thing I would change would have to reduced the vibrancy on the red a little.
