Allie S- fab-BOO-lous

 The name of my image is fab-BOO-lous. It was taken in Aldridge Gardens on September 25 2021. It was taken with a Canon Rebel XS. I edited it by bringing up the saturation and the noise. I also changed the leaves to orange instead of green. I also edited out Madison’s legs. I wish the lighting was a little better. 

Diana H- Ferris Wheel

 I took this photo when I went to the fair. It was taken around the sunset. I took this photo with my iPhone 12 pro max. I edited this photo by darkening the lighting, also added a filter. I think it could be better if I have a camera with lenses to make it more focused.

Nema H- Burj Khalifa

The title of the image is Burj Khalifa. It was taken in Dubai on December 11, 2020. It was taken on my phone. I used Photoshop’s editing tools like brightness/contrast and levels. I liked everything about the photo and I wouldn’t change anything about it. 

MaKena C - Phone Booth

 The name of this photo is Phone Booth. It was taken on October 8, 2021 in Irondale. The camera I used was a Canon g9x. To edit it I used the Analog efex Pro filter, the blur tool, and I turned the contrast up. I wish that I did something better with the background.

Amira A- THE ART

  I named this image The Art because when I look at the picture and see the color it reminds me of the art. I took this picture in front of my house and, for the background I used white paper  with brown and white color. It was taken in Subtember,18, 2021 around 3pm.  I take it with my camera name Nikon 350.To edit this picture I use an eraser to clean the flower and I make it darker. It would be better If I used more colors in the picture.

Aiden S- No Smoking HHS

This photo was taken in Aldridge Gardens on a weekend of this school year. It was taken with my Canon T7. I took out the No Smoking text and replaced it with Hoover High School for an assignment. It could have been better if I edited the text a bit to blend it more with the sign like making it look dirty and more real.

EMMA J - CAR DRIVE

 The title of the image is called Car Drive. It was taken at the Bluff to the right of across the street from TIP TOP. It was taken two or three weeks ago. The image was taken by a Canon T6. I think it could be better if it was more colorful or had better exposure. 

Madison R - KACHOW

This photo was taken on October 3rd at Talladega and was taken with my Nikon D3400 camera. I edited this by bringing down the brilliance and highlights and bringing up the saturation. I think this photo would be better if it was brighter. 

Linley W- The Girl

 This picture is called The Girl. The girl in this picture is my sister. This was taken in Chicago at the WNDR Museum over the summer in late June. I took this picture with my Nixon camera. I increased the saturation and sharpened up the overall picture. I added a little bit of vignette in order for the audience to focus on my sister. I really like this picture a lot, and I had  a lot of fun at the WNDR museum. I wish I took more pictures there, but it is okay. This picture could have been better if my sister's face was more focused. I also wish that the black bar-like thing in the background was not there. However, I do really like how this picture turned out. 

Jerusha K- Green Nature

This photo is called green nature. I took this picture in April of 2021 at the entrance to Moss Rock Preserve. It was taken with my canon t7i. This picture came out really well and I didn’t have to use much editing. All that I did to the photo was manipulate the levels so it can have higher contrast and I increased the vibrancy a little so the background green can pop more. I am super satisfied with this picture and I wouldn’t change anything about it.

Katie G- Purple Hands

 This image is called Purple Hands. I took this picture in my driveway with my cannon camera. I selected the background and turned it black and white, so just the purple pain would be in color. I blurred the background a little bit. I also made the purple a little more vibrant. It could be better if I had a better background. 

Sophia C- Untitled

This image does not have a title. It was taken at my house in the kitchen sink for the hands and feet assignment. It was taken with my Nikon D3500 Camera on a tripod. I edited by making the image black and white and increasing the brightness of the image. I cropped it and also made the apple darker in order to make it stand out. It could have been better if I shot at a different angle so you could see the apple more clearly. I also could have shot from further away. I really like how the water is frozen in time. 

Merit O -Lost In The Stars

 The title of this image is Lost In The Stars. I took these two pictures the same night up at Bluff Park about 2 weeks ago. I took them with my canon rebel T5. I edited the two pictures by merging them together, bringing the stars out, adding a purple tint around the middle, and using the sponge tool to blend it out. Overall I like the outcome of the image but I think I could have shaped his figure more. 

Clay K- @the STOGIES

 The picture is named “@the STOGIES” This picture was taken on the weekend of oct 8.2021. The picture was taken during dusk with a 3 sec shutter speed. I brightened the image and left it it alone because it really allowed the picture to show the excitement and movement of the night.

Kaitlyn R- The Butterfly

 The title would be The Butterfly. The image was taken sometime around in September in front of a mirror in the bathroom. It was taken with my Canon camera. I made the image black and white and changed the contrast and the brightness of the image. I then went to the Nick collection and added a filter over the image that had made the image darker around the edges and also had made the image blurry as well. Then I increased the scratch mark of the image. One way it could have been better would be to make it less blurry around the edges. 

Sydney R - Heathers

 The title for my Picture is “Heathers.” This picture was taken at the beginning of September in my bedroom. To take the picture, I used my Nikon D3500.  I first got a picture of my sister’s profile, duplicated the picture 3 times, made an exposure layer and brought the exposure all the way down to make a silhouette,altered the color of her clothes, and edited in the croquet bat. In some of the details you can see where I forgot to correct some mistakes from the selection.

Drew B- Tired and Heartbroken

 I took this photo the other day with my friends at this spot on Shades Crest road. I was incredibly tired and heartbroken but we won't get into that. I don't usually like photos of myself but i thought this one was okay. I don't remember how I edited it.

Sasha Crowell- Low Light

Low light, this picture was taken at the mall at night. The camera was a Nikon D3200. I edited this image by removing extra light to make him the subject instead of a bunch of lights. 

Mary Ryan M- Ah Girl

 The title of this image is titled “Ah Girl” based off of the Beatles song Girl. This photo was taken on my front lawn in late September. This image is part of my first series for my sustained investigation. I edited this photo by making it black and white, and then adjusting the lighting to make the face darker and the sun brighter to create a contrast. The framing of this photo could have been better, but overall I am pretty happy with the outcome of this photo.

Jack Joyner - Buddha Trip

This work is titled Buddha Trip and it was taken in my room on Sept. 22. It was taken with my Canon Rebel T3 and I edited the image by cropping, adding a B/W filter and then a gradient map. After the gradient map I added a pattern and got the final product. It would be better if I could get a variety of colors however I stuck with orange as that is the symbolic color of renunciation in Buddhism.

Mitchell C - Dorian

The title of this image is Dorian, after the model. It was taken last week in the photography studio with my 6D Canon camera and my 85mm f/1.8 lens. I like how the vibrant colors contrast with the background and simultaneously compliments his skin tone. I could adjust the brightness, the values, or saturation of the colors, but I appreciate the simplicity of this image. I could maybe use this same lighting but adjust the posing and composition, but I really like this result. 

Abigail P- After the Rain

 This image is called After the Rain. I took this picture with a Canon EOS Rebel T6. The picture was taken at Sibyl Temple in Vestavia in September in the afternoon. I edited it by clearing up the model’s face and erasing some rough spots on the column. I also cleared up some stray hair from the picture using the cloning tool. I increased the brightness and saturation a bit to bring out the colors in the picture and to make the white colors a little brighter. I think the only thing I wish I could have changed about the picture is that when I was taking it, I could have adjusted my model’s hair to make it a bit smoother and together. Other than that, I really liked how this picture turned out.

Shae M- Purple

 The title of this image is “Purple”. It was taken last month in the studio for the Hands and Feet assignment. It was taken with my Nikon D3500. I edited it by raising the concentration, raising the brightness, and I added tonal contrast from the Nik Collection. I think it could be better if it was more in focus and the lights were a little bit more contrasted. 

Bess H - Hand in Rain

 The title of this image is “Hand in Rain”. I took this photo in front of my house about a month ago for the Hands and Feet assignment. I used my Canon 4000D to take this photo. I think I added a black and white filter over this image and then went to the color balance and increased the red section. I also cropped this image a little and slightly increased the contrast. I wish I would have been able to capture the aspect of the rain a little better and make the hand outline sharper. 

Sasha C- The Statue

 The name of this image is the statue . This picture was taken in Ukraine, this july. This picture was taken on a Nikon D3200. I edited with changing the filter and playing sound with brightness and colors. 

Merit O- T-Bone

The Name of this image is T-bone. I took this image when I was at the beach this summer. It was taken with a canon rebel T6 with a 300mm lens. I made the overall image more colorful but other than that it was a nice time of day so it didn’t need much done. I’m not sure what I could have done to make it better. 

Mary Ryan M- Seagulls and Sand

 This image is called Seagulls and Sand, and it was taken at Mexico Beach, FL in July. It was taken with my Canon Rebel camera. To edit this photo I changed the brightness and contrast, and I also cropped the image closer to make the bird more the focal point. I think that to improve the image it could have been sharper.

Jerusha K- Pretty Smile

 I took the picture Pretty Smiles in early August in the band room stairwell in the afternoon. I took this photo with my Canon Rebel T7i with a 75-300mm lens. To edit this photo, I messed with the levels to make the photo darker and more contrasted. I also selected the background and made it darker so the photo wouldn’t look off. I could’ve made this photo better if I used a better and warmer filter and blurred the background even more.

Sophia C- Lonely Bird

 The title of the image is Lonely Bird. It was taken after Chirtmans last year in Bellville, Illinois. It was taken with my Nikon D3500 Camera. I used this image for the site image assignment. I edited by first turning the whole picture black and white. Then adjusted the tone of the picture. Afterwards, I used the selection tool to select the bird. I took the Black and white filter off the bird and bumped up the vibrance and saturation. The image could have been better if i could have gotten closer to the bird or less trees were in the way. If the background wasn’t as dull to give the image more life.
