Kate M.- Slant

I took this picture downtown with my Canon Rebel T6. It was about 5 in the evening so the light was very nice. This was taken on top of a parking deck right next to the City Federal Building. I turned my camera at an angle which I think gave the picture an interesting effect. I didn’t really do any heavy editing, mostly just brightness and contrast. I slightly changed some of the colors as well. I think the colors of the sky and the colors reflected off the building are rlly calming. I also like all the empty space. It is a very simple picture.

Chris C- oPReSSeD

The title of this “oPReSSeD” because that was i felt like naming it. I took this towards the end of February. This is a self portrait, I shot it on a timer. I edited this by using the vibrance and saturation as well as darkening the background a smidgen.

I’m using this subject as my focus for my portfolio and I think it will turn out really well as I get to work with it a little more. This photo means something but i dunno what so yeah.

Drew F- The Sad Rock

This photo was taken at World of Wheels Saturday the 11th. It was taken with a Nikon D3300. I edited this photo with different layers of light exposure and layer mask. This photo would be better without so much glare from the lights and if the angle was better.

Hunter F- Reflections in the Wather

I did this photo as part of the Composite Project for the Calibama Assignment. In order to edit, I merged several photos from Assignment 4 from last year. Then I used posterize to give the photo a more artistic look. I do feel that it would be better if it the reflection photos were more farther away from each other. But otherwise, I like how this turned out.

Justin C- Jam in the Park

This photo is currently a work in progress. I did the base editing for the photo by making the background black and white while keeping my subject in color. I added a light fade to the image as well. I adjusted curves and levels as well as vibrance. I’ve been smoothing the coloring around the edges of the image, trying to make the subject blend, but at the same time pop. It is still a WIP and would really appreciate some feedback! :)

Grace H- Star Double Exposure

This photo was taken a few weeks ago for a double exposure assignment. It was taken in the studio. My friend Diana was in front of a white backdrop and I used studio lights to make the background light and her dark. In Photoshop I blended several images to make a composite. Overall I like this photo and the assignment I did. The only thing that I wish is for the photo to be a little bit brighter to show her face features the double exposure.

Kate M.-Komodo

I took this photo at the zoo with my Canon T3. This is a picture of the wall in the Komodo dragon exhibit. I really liked how it looked with the plants and the color of the green wall. I did really simple editing for this photo. I upped the contrast and added a photo filter over the windows but thats really it.I wish the bottom part of the picture was a little more clear but other that I like it.

Chloe J- Rachael

I took this picture last week at the mall of my friend Rachael. I took it using my canon xsi. To edit it all I did was put a VSCO filter on it. It would be better if I wold have spent more time on this picture.

Jordan H- Panorama Tree

The title of my selected image is “Panorama Tree” because I took this for the panorama assignment. I took this on January 28th in Vestavia near a lookout place. I took this with my Canon 5d mark iii and my 50mm lens. I changed the hues, brightness, and contrast. I also sharpened the tree. I think it could better if I used a tripod and really focused in on each picture.

Ashley W- Untitled

I don’t really like this picture, but I’ really tired of all of my photography right now so its whatever. I took this with a Nikon D3200 around noon. If I were to make it better I would shoot it from a better angle and line up the background better so it was more visually appealing. 

Grant S.- 17

This photo is titled “’17”. I took this picture on the parking deck at the galleria. I edited it by adding more color and adding a film type of effect. It could be better maybe if I focused it more.

Lupita G- Sloss

I took this at Sloss one rainy afternoon. I added some clouds and a filter to the picture.

Bella M- Barney

This photo was taken in Nashville a few moths ago with a canon rebel t3i 50mm lens. I edited this by messing with the hue to give it the purple tint an flowering the exposure. I like the colors and the light coming through. This could be better if the setting was different and there wasn’t a shadow on his face.

Lana M- Soft and Pretty

I edited this picture for the composite project we did a few weeks ago. I used a lot of pictures of flowers and the screen adjustment layer. I really like the way it came out, I think it looks very soft and pretty. If I could change one thing I would make the girl be facing a little more towards the camera.

Rachel P - Last Summer

These pictures were taken last summer, and I used them for the composite assignment. I took three pictures and put them together. This picture is heavily edited with the lighting, color contrast, and how much each layer shows through. I think the picture could have been better if there were a little bit more different colors in there other than green, but I still really like the picture.

Rere H- Composite 1

I really like this image. I didn’t have a name for it so, I called it Composite 1. There are 3 images in one. Its a picture of a bird at the beach, A picture of a building i took downtown and there is a picture of a tree/plant. The only edit i did to the images was create a overlay mask on all and positioned the images the way i wanted. I like how it like like a painting or a window fixture. I like this photo and would change anything about it!!

Dayne M-Woods

I took this image this weekend by the woods in my neighborhood. I took it with my Nikon D5500. This image is an HDR photo and I edited the image by sharpening the image, enhancing the saturation, and applying an overlay layer. It could be better if I framed the image a bit better to show more of the logs and surrounding trees.

Grace H- James

This photo was taken a few weeks ago for a family assignment. I used my canon 80D and used manual mode. I am pretty inexperienced with portrait photography and it was difficult trying to take photos of my nephew. This is the photo that came out the best and wasn’t blurry. In photoshop I brightened his eyes and made basic adjustments. Overall I do like this portrait of James. I love the blurry background. The only thing I dislike about my photo is the angle that it was taken.

Jeremy L- My Shadow

21 January 2017
Nikon D80
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

Mextures

I was content with the way this came out. This piece is a bit on the conceptual side. To me, the body language of the shadow on the wall embodies an internal conflict. Take it for what you will.

Jordan H- Untitled

This photo doesn’t have a title, and I took these photos at my house. I took all of the photos in this picture with my Canon 5D mark iii and my 50mm lens. This photo is a compilation of photos from different assignments, but I’m using this for the composite assignment. I took the picture of the hand and put it over a picture of a clear chair with string lights on it. I used different composite adjustments to make everything blacked out except the part of the hand where you can see the lights. I also took some of the blurred light parts and added them around the black parts. I think it could be better if I took the time to edit out the parts of the string lights where its green. Overall, I really enjoy this photo and it’s something different.
