Caeden H- Rainbow

 The title of my image is “Rainbow”. I took this picture two weeks ago in Downtown Birmingham. I took this picture with my Canon Rebel XSI. I used photoshop to edit this image. I used the camera raw filter to edit all the basic things like exposure, saturation, etc. I also used the sky tool photoshop to add the rainbow in the background. This image could use a bit more exposure to the model specifically. It looks more shaded than I would like. 

Ani W- B&W Lake

Title is pretty obvious since I took this picture at Aldredge Garden’s lake. I took it with my iphone 12 mini February 22, 2023. I edited the brightness and turned the image black and white, really defining the details of the water.

 

Drew B- Inner Wave

 This image I took this at a concert at Saturn downtown I went to see Inner Wave and this is a photo of the lead singer I took it with my Nikon D5600 and edited it with Lightroom using a mask 

Linley W- Rocky Canopy

 This picture is titled Rocky Canopy. This was taken on my Nikon camera at Moss Rock Preserve. I took this picture two weekends ago. I edited this picture by sharpening it and adding warmth. I also added a detail extractor filter as well in order to make the background seem more focused. I brightened up the picture as well. However, I do wish that her skin was not as bright. Overall, I am very proud of this picture.

Allie S- Brain Waves

The title of my image is Brain Waves. It was taken Febuary 24th, 2023 in the studio. It was taken with a Canon Rebel T3. I edited it by brightening and bringing up the contrast. I also added a few Nik collection filters. The model is kind of blurry and I feel like if I retake these I could do a better job of getting a clearer shot. 

 

Mia N - Life

This picture was taken a about two weeks ago at hoover high school. It was taken with a canon camera. It was an HDR so it was three pictures put together and then I used the nik collection. I think the lighting is okay but ould be better, other than that I really like the picture.

Joseph R- Spring's First Breath

This image was taken in the backyard of an abandoned house in Vestavia a few days ago. It was taken with a Panasonic Lumix. I increased the brightness of the entire image then brightened and sharpened solely the statue to make it stand out a bit more. I also increased the green hues. I wish the entire image was a little clearer and the statue stood out more.

 

Brandon B-Inception

 This photo was originally taken as an experiment to see if I could pull off an inception image, taken in our very own Digital Photography class.  This was taken on March 1st with my iPhone 13 Pro.  I edited this by copying the original image and scaling it to the computer screen.  I then smoothed the edges to blend it to the computer, and then did the same procedure over and over again.  Finally, I used my favorite Nik collection filter, the midnight filter to give an eerie look.  This could be better if I had taken more time in setting up the shot itself.

Martha Claire D- Little Goddess

 The title of this image is Little Goddess.  It was taken in mid February at Sibyl Temple in Vestavia. It was taken with my Panasonic DC-G95D. I edited it by using sky replacement for a brighter sky, I dodged and burned so that there would be greater definition in her face. I increased the pink in her lips as well as the orange in her skin. I think it could be better if I could erase the hairs that are poking out. 

Bess H - Embrace

The title of this image is Embrace. This photo was taken in the studio a couple of weeks ago. I used a Canon Rebel T6. I played around with the lighting in the studio before I took the photo. I just wanted her hands and face to show. I believe that I used a NIK collection filter on this. I upped the contrast and some of the brightness on the model. I cropped in on the image and messed around with the levels.

 

Aiden S - Evanne

 I named this piece “Evanne.” It was taken with my Canon Rebel T7 and was taken at Railroad Park in downtown Birmingham. I edited in photoshop and adjusted the lighting and made the picture a lot more clear and smoothed out her skin so it made her skin kinda glow in a way. I think it would of have been better if I had something in the background but I love how I did this photo. 

Ayla S - Vincent

 The title of this image is “Vincent.” It was taken in my photography class in March. To edit this photo, I combined multiple images and used a NIK Collection filter. It could be better if it was sharper.

Alex B- Jo

 I named this image “Jo” because the person in the photo is my partner Jordan, Jo for short. We took this in the studio, This was taken with a canon t6i. I used the raw filter to edit this, and i think it could be better if i could see more of their legs.

Shae M- Dead Inside

 The title of my image is “Dead Inside”. It was taken a few weeks ago in my room. I took it with my nikon D3500. I editied it by changing it to black and white, adding a vignette, sharpening the photo, playing with the camera raw filter, and I added contrast. It could be better if it was more focused and was cropped slightly differently. I really wanted to experiment with this image and tried using makeup to show how anxiety can make you feel dead. 

Madison R - Sleepy Lizard

 This photo was taken in the DC zoo over the summer. This photo was taken with my Nikon D3400 camera and my zoom lens. I edited this photo by using the Camera Raw Filter and bringing up the saturation and detail. I think this photo could be better if it was a little more focused on the lizard, I brought up the detail to help improve the focus but I wish it was a little clearer. 

Nora G- The Story

 This is one I made for the composite assignment. I used three different pictures in total but I had to go in and add the branches that come out of the shadow separately because the image was not sitting right. I made it black and white because none of the images had much color in the beginning so it looks better like that. I edited more with one of the NIK Collections and fixed the lighting a bit. 

CAROLINE M- New Orleans

 This photo is called New Orleans. This photo was taken about 2 miles from the French Quarter in New Orleans on February 17th. The photo was taken with my Nikon D3300. I didn’t really edit it other than making the colors a little more saturated and lowered the exposure. I would’ve liked to get the trees more in the middle so I could get both sides of the trees but other than that I can’t think of anything.

Aidan P- Indigo Street Art

This image is titled indigo street art because of the color and the place it was taken. I took this downtown at some sort of warehouse for the HDR assignment a few weeks ago. I used my iphone and used an app called camera pixels to get the different lighting for the pictures. Once I combined the images I added a filter that I cannot remember the name of. I made a few adjustments like making the sky darker because it was actually a sunny day. After that I enhanced the purple and some of the blue. I wish some of the other parts were more clear but I like the shade of purple and the lighting.

 

CAROLINE M- Finding the Light

 This image is called Finding the Light. It was taken on the Ross Bridge railroad tracks on January 22. I took this photo with my Nikon D3300. I thought this photo was fascinating and I made the image sharper so you could see the rain show better and so his shirt doesn’t blend with the background. I got a lot of good pictures that day and I think this one is just really dramatic. I think there is something off about this photo but I can’t place what it is. Overall I really like it.

Mia N - Lights

 This picture was taken in the studio around early December. It was taken with a Canon. I edited it by playing with the lighting and cropping it. I think that there is something missing, I also think the lights could be better. I like it but I definitely think it could be better.

Maddie T- Interaction

 This image was taken in August at the COIN show. It was taken from the crowd of two people having an interaction that I thought captured the environment of the show perfectly! It was edited in Lightroom and is displayed somewhere on my instagram. 

Drew B- In The Clearing

 I took this image with my Nikon D5600 it's one of my favorites of this shoot I think it came out really well I edited this photo with Lightroom playing with the light and contrast 

Bess - Help

The title of my image is “Help” and it was taken with my Canon 4000D. I took this photo sometime in January in a park. I used a NIK collection filter and dialed up the contrast. I cropped in the image and selected certain parts to make them more detailed and dark. I like how the image turned out, but I wish the smoke was better.

 

Caeden H- Gloom

 The title of my selected image is “Gloom”. I took this picture on an Air Force base in Wyoming this past summer. I took this picture with my iPhone 12 pro. I edited this first in Apple photos and increased the basic elements like contrast, saturation, and exposure. I then used photoshop to add the Black and White filter. I used a Silver Effects Pro NIK collection filter. I can’t think of anything I could do to improve this image. 

MaKena C - Rose

 I took this photo at my house a couple of months ago. It was taken with my Nikon 3500. I turned down the saturation and turned up the contrast. I also did some color corrections. I wish it was a bit sharper. 

Paris C- Peace

I named this image peace because when you look at it all you see or think about is how beautiful the sky is and how much that makes you feel relaxed. It was taken in the car driving around during the setting of the sun. It was taken with my phone. I edited it by cropping the car I was in out, making the image black and white. And also by making more details be seen better.I really like this image and how peaceful it makes me feel.

 

Nora G- Bee Hives

 This image is one I did for our HRD project. It was at the botanical gardens. I took it with my Canon camera. I merged them together then added one of the filters from photomatix on top of it. I went into photoshop and burned some more parts of it but not much.,

Carol A- Folklore

 The title of this image is Folklore, this photograph is two different pictures combined one of them was taken at The Birmingham Botanical Garden and the other one was on the campus of Troy University. The picture from The Botanical Garden was taken with my Canon Revel EOS and the one from Troy University was taken with my iPhone 11. I edited by lowering the opacity of all the pictures to a level I thought was good enough for all the photos to be able to come out while also blending together, after that I use applied the image tool then used the raw camera filter and messed around with the levels of things like opacity, texture, clarity, and contrast.

Shae M- Constraint of Anxiety

 The title of my image is “Constraints of Anxiety”. It was taken in my room a couple of weeks ago. I used my Nikon D3500 to take this photo. I edited this photo by making it black and white, making the bandage and adding color back to it, working with the levels, and sharpening the photo. It could be better if it was a bit clearer. 

Courtni D- The Confusion of Youth

I named this photo The Confusion of Youth because of the look of confusion on his face. It was taken October 2nd, 2022 before my nephews’ football games. It was taken with my Canon EOS 2000D. I put this photo together for the composite assignment, so there are about two other photos composed together with the original photo. I did most of my editing in photoshop and added a filter on top. I feel like it could be better if it was brighter or something. I just feel like something about it is off. 
 

Betsey - Flower HDR

This photo is named Flowers HDR because it is a picture of flowers taken for the hdr assignment. It was taken around valentines day on my kitchen table. It was taken with my canon rebel t6. I put it through Photomatix and put a filter on it. I think it could be better if it was more rule of thirds but besides that I like this image. 

 

Joseph R- Leaping on a Mountain

This photo was taken at Mt. Cheaha on me and my girlfriend’s anniversary. Taken with a Panasonic Lumix. I brightened it slightly and brought down the green tones. If the photo were higher resolution and a bit less grainy I think it would be better. 

Madison R - Hurt Turtle

 This photo was taken in Key West at The Theater of the Sea in their injured turtle enclosure. This photo was taken over the summer with my Nikon D3400 camera. I edited it with the camera raw filter and brought up the contrast and saturation. I think if I had a better angle on the turtle this photo would be better.

Martha Claire D- Hera

  The title of this image is “Hera”, named after the queen of the gods. It was taken in mid- February this year, using my Panasonic DC-G95D. I edited this image by increasing the brightness and other basic lighting techniques. I also edited a separate photo of the clouds in the background of the photo so it gave the sense that she was on Mt. Olympus. I’m pretty proud of this but i think I could have edited it so that some of the columns blended better.
