ZYKERIA M- Summer

 The name I chose for this photo is “Summer”. This image was taken outside in the courtyard. I took this picture with a Canon t6 camera. The only thing I did to edit this photo was change the filter to give it a blue tint. I believe it could be better if it were at night maybe but I Do like the sun. I had to get into an odd position to get this photo. 

Kye W- Dreaming Light

 This photo features a young woman with long, wavy auburn hair, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. She has a calm and serene expression, with her light-colored eyes reflecting natural light. The background shows a softly focused classroom setting with bookshelves, chairs, and desks, adding a casual and intellectual atmosphere. The image has a vintage or film-like texture, enhancing its nostalgic and artistic feel.

Paige L - Leaf

The title of this image is called “Leaf” it was taken September 25th on a iPhone 14 Pro Max. The exposure went down and the saturation went up a bunch and it was taken in our court yard. 

 

Zander H- Elephant

 This was taken at the Birmingham Zoo during our field trip last year. I took this photo with my Rebel T7 How I edited it was my raising the contrast to make the colors pop more and also raised the brightness so it wasn’t too dark. I think it might’ve been better if I had a better lens to zoom in a lot better btu I think it turned out pretty well.

Elyssa W - Hoover JV

The name of this image is Hoover Jv and was take in the comp gym on November 3rd. I used photoshop to brighten up the image but other than that I didn’t feel it needed more editing. However I wish I was centered when I took this picture but overall I like this image.

 

Helen S - Toby Baby

 I titled this “Toby baby”. I took this picture in my kitchen with my iphone 12 pro max. I just used the automatic retouch tool on the photos application. I think the quality could be a bit better honestly. Overall I personally think this is a really cute photo.

Remo M - The Making of a Weapon

  The title of my selected image is “The Making of a Weapon” and it was taken on September 19th, 2024 in my friend's garage. I took it on my iPhone SE camera and edited it by increasing the vibrance and the saturation of the hook making it pop out more. Then I added motion blur to the corners of the photo. I wanted to give it a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe and I think I achieved that pretty well.

Brooke L- Field

I named this photo Field because it is a field of grass and trees. It was taken at red mountain park over the thanksgiving break and I took it with my Iphone 13. I did slight editing to it, I lowered the exposer and the highlights on the photo. I think it would've been better if there wasn't a glare on the sun in the corner and the lighting was even.

Emily K - Girlhood

 This image is titled “Girlhood” and was taken with my Canon Rebel t7 at Aldridge Gardens on November 18, 2024. I did not do much editing other than warming the whole picture and brightening the subjects. I loved how the sun was shining and creating rays in the background, giving it a dreamy feel. This picture represents girlhood because we always take pictures of each other because we want our friends to see themselves in the admirable way we do. I don’t know what I would change about this image, so let me know what you think. Overall, this was a very fun photoshoot and I am very happy with this image. 

Kenn J- Subtle Rouge

 The title of my image is called Subtle Rouge. This was taken in Novemeber in the Photography room. This was taken with a Cannon Digital Camera. I edited the image in camera raw and then changed the image to black and white on a new layer then on another layer a made a mask and cut out the mouth to then edit it to the color i perfer. The pose of my model could be better

Ella H- Passerby

This photograph is called “Passerby.” I took it using Mr. Rigby's camera. I set up a tripod on one of the benches in the courtyard, positioning the camera to point down on my subject. To create the motion effect, I increased the shutter speed and had multiple people move past my subject as she stayed still. I did many trials with this technique. When editing my picture, I overlaid three of these pictures onto a base photo where I blended them. I also made minor edits to decrease the exposure and contrast and increase the vibrance and saturation. I feel that this photo could have been better if I had photographed it in a different area; I do not particularly like the background of this photograph. However, I am pleased with how the editing and motion effects came out. 

 

Nathan E - Happiness Bought

 A Lot of my work comes from mental health and emotions. For this its buying happiness It's what a lot of Bi-polar people experience but also selfish people the “sharks of the human kind”  

Ella B- Cabbage

 This was originally a photo I took of a cut cabbage a few months back. I thought it looked pretty cool without editing, but I distorted it on a few blended layers and added a buncha haze + frame from the analog effects Nik collection. It was pretty fun to edit, I think I could’ve worked more to bring out the original texture to make the photo better.

Emma B- Penelope

This image was taken Sunday December 1st at 3:59PM in the car ride home from vacation. It was taken with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. The only editing I did was cropping the image. It could be better if I moved my mom’s beanie from the background. This is my little baby Penelope.

 

Aleli S- Reid

 A few weeks ago, I took this picture of my friend Reid on Preserve Parkway, on the road during sunset. I edited the image by enhancing the fall colors of the trees, as some were still green at the time. I used Lightroom to give the trees a more vibrant orange. On the other hand, next time I would like to focus on making the subject stand out more.

Evie G - Vintage Lamp

 This photo is called ‘Vintage Lamp’. I took this photo with my canon ax700 in September at a bridgerton dinner party. I edited it by brightening up the image and put a bleached portrait filter over it. What I could have done better is to get a closer shot of the lamp so that the image is a little more clear. 

Daniel F- God Incarnate

The title of this photo is God Incarnate. This photo was taken September 26th in my kitchen using my crudely made light box and I took this photo with my Nikon D7100. I used some of the techniques that I used for my other photos for SI3 where I was experimenting with smoke and glow effects. I used my new technique of making a gradient and low opacity louds to make a smoke effect and then I went over it with the smoke brush to make it feel more like fire. I also added text in which the large diagonal text says “Shin Godzilla” and the smaller text says “God Incarnate” but it got cut off so sometimes with the google translate app it looks like “God Imitation” or “deification”. I also made some of the red parts over the body glow more and I left a couple of them blank because either they wouldn’t select or I got tired of trying to make it do something it didn’t want to do. I think I could have made it better if I had added more text as well as been able to use the blending layers mode to both blend the text and not lose some of it like with “God Incarnate”. Something I’d like to change but I'm not sure how I would do is that there is a small bit of blue light around some of the edges which I’m not sure where it came from and I didn’t notice it until weeks after I made it but nevertheless it still annoys me.

 

Shelby S- Self-projection

 This photo is called Self-projection. These were taken in the studio during 7th period one day. It was taken with Mr. Rigsby’s camera because I left mine at home. I edited it by adding a sunset behind mountains and using cut-outs of Kye to add some elements. I think I could’ve used a different filter on the faces.

Edgar E- The Sun

This photo was edited with more contrast and less brightness. I took it with my phone. It was taken on November 15th. I think it could be better if I add some things. In my opinion, it is a very good photo.

 

Harleigh P - Country Nights

I took this photo in Tennessee over Thanksgiving break. I like the sun in the back. I edited the photo differently, and I like how this ended. It is not my best photo because I took it while the car was moving.
