Aiden S- State Bank

 This image is called State Bank. This image was taken at the beginning of October at the state bank in hoover. It was taken with my Canon T7 Rebel camera. I edited the HDR in the Nik Collection and the highlights/lighting of the image and love how it turned out. I could have made it a bit brighter but I don’t see how else I could have changed it. This image was for the Buildings assignment.

Allie S- Wall

 The name of my image is Wall. It was taken in Homewood on October 15, 2021. It was taken with a Canon Rebel XS. I edited it by bringing up the brightness and saturation. I also brought down the contrast and brought up the vignette. I feel like I could have gotten a little bit of better angle. 

Sydney R - Bella In the Sun

The title of this image is “Bella in the Sun”. This picture was taken last week in my room. I took this picture with my handy dandy Nikon D3500. In order to edit, I decreased the brightness, increased the contrast and vibrance. In the background, there was a door that made the shot look horrible. In order to remove it, I painted over it with colors that matched the background, then I smudged the color together in order to blend it. I love this picture, and would do nothing to change it!

Madison R - Waterfall

 This photo was taken in Yellowstone over the summer. It was taken with my Nikon D3400 and I edited it by bringing down the contrast and highlights and bringing up the saturation. I think this photo could be better if the rock on the bottom was gone. 

Shae M- Leaf

My image is titled Leaf. I took this photo in October on my sidewalk. I took this photo with my Nikon D3500. I edited it by raising the contrast, raising the brightness, and adding the Tonal Contrast filter from the Nik Collection. It could be better if the cropping was different and there was less glare. 

Nema H- Dubai Buildings

 The title of the picture is Dubai Buildings. It was taken in Dubai on December 15. 2020. It was taken on my phone. I used Photoshop’s editing tools like exposure and vibrance. Everything in the image is perfect except the lighting is a little darker. Even though the lighting is not too bright, the buildings in the picture add some nice light to it. 

Bess H - Maple Tree

 The name of the image is Maple Tree and that is because this is a maple tree. I took this photo last spring and I used my Canon 4000D to take it. It was taken at my house. I did some things with the levels and the brightness and contrast. I also upped the highlights and shadows. I wish that I could have gotten the black part out of the leaves, I tried to do so but it ended up looking bad, so I decided to keep it. 

Katie G- Green Leaves

 The title of this image is Green Leaves. I took it with my Nikon camera in my backyard on a Friday after school. I edited it in photoshop. I bumped up the contrast and made the outline of all the leaves a little dark. I also upped the vibrancy and saturation of the whole picture to bring out the green. I really like the way this picture came out, so I am not sure what I could have done to make it better. 

Jerusha K- Autumn

 This photo is called Autumn. I took this photo in the Moss Rock Native Prairie Reserve. I took these photos on a Sunday afternoon. I took this picture with my Canon Rebel t7i. I edited this picture with two apps. Photoshop and lightroom. Through photoshop I messed with the levels to make the photo less contrasted and lighter. I cleaned up any stains or distracting things in the picture. With Lightroom, I added a preset that made it look a little bit like a film and more sunkissed. I messed with the settings in lightroom to make this customed for this picture. I could make this photo so much better if I made it brighter and less filmy but I am pretty proud of how it turned out.

Abigail P - Flowers

 The title of this picture is Flowers. I took the picture in a field behind the Riverchase Elementary School a few weeks ago in October. I took the picture with my Canon Rebel T7. I actually didn’t do much to edit this picture. I brought up the saturation in the flowers to bring out their colors. I also brightened up the picture a little bit because it was kind of dark. I cropped the picture to bring more of the focus to the model and the flowers because there was a lot of extra space in the original picture. The only thing I think I would have changed would have been to position my model at a different angle to reduce a lot of the shadows in the picture. 

REGAN F- Berries

The title of this picture is Berries. I took this picture in the courtyard at school last week for the Leaves assignment. I took this photo with my canon camera and edited it using some of the NIK Collection filters, light enhancements, and color saturation enhancements. I do wish I could’ve taken this picture but in a different location just so I didn’t have the school in the background but overall I really like this picture. It gives the holiday season vibes.

Merit O- Wonder

The name of this image is Wonder. I took this image on October 11th 2021 with my Canon Rebel T5 when I took a friend down to Selma to take pictures. We were actually on our way back when I saw the graveyard down there. With all the Spanish moss in the trees and the cloudy misty feel I knew I had to take some pictures. I told my friend to start walking down this path and I would just see what we could get. When I first took this image I thought it wasn't that good and it was too exposed, but I started to edit it and slowly fell in love with how it turned out. I edited it by bringing more of the color out in the trees and sky, then using the burn tool darken the sides, made my friend darker to bring him out, then blurred the sides. So between the path and the blur your eyes would follow to the middle. Overall I’m very happy with how this image came out and I don’t think I would do much to change it. 

Hannah B- Untitled

 I couldn’t think of a name for this picture. I took this picture at Hoover High School on October 12, 2021. To edit this picture I used the spot healing tool in a few places. I do wish her hair was over her right shoulder instead behind it but I still like how it looks. I can’t think of anything else I would edit except for if I had her do a few different things with her right hand instead of having her it on the wall.

Hannah B- Seasons Collide

 This picture is called Seasons Collide. I took this picture at Bluff Park Elementary School on April 25, 2021 I believe. To edit this picture I edited the contrast and saturation. I think if the darker clouds were across the whole sky and not just the right side it would look better. Other than that I wouldn’t change anything.

Mary Ryan M- The World was Waiting on a Lover

The title of this image is The World was Waiting on a Lover. Which is a lyric in the song Sexy Sadie which this image is based off of. This image was taken in the studio, and I adjusted the lighting to make the subject stand out from the background. I added the suits from the card deck around her head as a crown-like thing. This image could be better if it was more in focus and a little less blurry. 

Makena C- Leaf

This photo is called Leaf. It was taken on November 1 in the courtyard. It was taken with a Canon EOS REBEL T3. To edit it I changed the vibrance, hue, and contrast.
