Addison G- Gracie

 The title of this image is named, Gracie. This is the name of the dog in the photograph. It is my neighbors dog. I took it about a week ago at my neighbors house when I was helping dogsit. I took it with my Canon RX100. I just fixed the lighting of the image. I could’ve made it better by touching up some spots that need fixing. 

Tucker C- Under the Staircase

I took this photo at the preserve under a staircase. I took this photo with my iphone thin air and made it slightly darker and increased the contrast. The improvements could have been to made the photo seem more straight and align due to the stairs seems crooked. Overall the photo turned out okay but honestly I rushed the editing process
 

Anna G - "Let Down"

 The title of the selected image is “Let Down”. This photo was taken last week in the photography studio. This photo was taken with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras (Canon EOS Rebel T7). I edited this image by adding wings and a lot of distortion. I think this photo could be better if there was less dead space at the top of the image.

River B- Bottles and fruits

 The title of this image is bottles and fruits. It was taken about a week ago and was taken in the photography room studio. It was taken with my s25 phone camera. I edited it by cropping it how I liked it. It could be better if the boot was positioned differently in the background.

Kingston C- Water

 The title of this image is Water This was taken at my apartment through my window. It was taken with my camera. It could have better lighting and more focusing of the camera.

 

Liam O- Cloudy Summer-

 The title of this image is Cloudy Summer. It was taken during the summer on a particularly cloudy day. It was taken with my Canon and was edited with better lighting as well as better visibility and clarity of the overall picture . It could be better if I had worked a little more on it and if the sun was a little brighter.

Denver C- Sunset Trail

 This pictures name is Sunset Trail. I took it early September near sunset. I took it with a Nikon 3000. I lowered the saturation and turned down the warmth. It would be better if I got more of the trail itself in the picture.

Hazel A-Mirada

The title is Mirada, it was taken August 3rd of this year at night in Birmingham in an abandoned railroad area. It was taken on my iphone 15 pro max, it could have been better if I had included more colorful or some type of effect like in another picture. This image was taken for a friend Ingrid and we got to see many different things there, even get a closer look on a train that was there and many designs and signatures there.

Mary Alex R- Light of the Lens

 The title of this image is Soft Light. I took this photo with my Nikon D7500 in my closet while taking photos for the Site Image project last month. I edited this photo by slightly lowering the brightness and increasing the saturation. It could be better if the blanket’s texture was more visible, and if the blanket covered the full background of the photo. 

Julia M- Flower Of Fuchsia

  I took this picture on September 12 at 11:20 AM while I was walking, I edited it by making the flower bigger and more clear by selecting it and creating a layer via copy and I also gave the background a gaussian blur to make the flower the main focus.

Kais C- Bored

 This was taken in July, in Japan Osaka National Zoo it was so amazing the place was beautiful the birds was the best but this was the worst part the chimps were so sad to look at they were so lazy laying around had a baby and just doing nothing this is one of my nicer photos of it but it was not good. It was taken with a rebel t7 it was edited making it clearer and darker and warmer to give it a nicer summer tone. I think it is good maybe without so much in the frame and it was just the chimp. 

Reese J- Light

 The title of this image is light. It was taken on my familys deck on September 10,2026 around 9:30 at night. It was not edited at all. I had a long shutter exposure and when I pressed the shoot buttion, I rapidly moved the camera to the left so the light looked like it was moving outside into the darkness. It could be better if all the blinds were completely down and you could not see the roof, but it's ok how it is.

Aimee A- Concert

I named this photo “ Concert”. I took it at The Legacy Arena at The BJCC on Friday, Aug 28 at 8:00 pm, I took it with my Iphone 16 pro and I edited it by cropping it, bring the lights down a bit, softing the photo, brought out more of the shadows and brought the white lights down. I think it could have been better if I would have cropped it at the top left a little bit more, but I still love this photo especially because this was a concert I went to with my mom and we had so much fun together so it’s one of my favorite memories with her.

Rachel N - Lamp

 This is Lamp. I took this on September 13, 2026 with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I edited it by just fixing the coloring because the raw image was really pale. I could’ve made it more smooth in the photo or made it darker to make the photo look nonchalant. 
 

Sarah J- Flowers of the Mountains

 This image is titled “Flowers of the Mountains”. I took it on a trail called Waterrock Knob near Blue Ridge Parkway during the afternoon of July 17th on a camping trip with my dad and brother. It was taken with my iPhone XR and I edited it by making it a bit darker, slightly upping the saturation, and adding a “dramatic” filter on it from the Photos app. I believe it could be better if I had the subject in better focus, but otherwise I’m happy with the photo and I really like how it turned out. The hike itself was also gorgeous and I’d recommend anyone go on the hike if they’re ever in the area. 

Caroline S- Marblehead

 The title of my image is Marblehead because it was taken in Marblehead, Massachusetts at a wedding rehearsal. I took it over the summer and I did not edit it; however, I set my camera settings to be warmer in order to emphasize the summery feel of the photo. It could definitely be better if I edited it and brightened it a bit.

Reese J- Butterfly

This was taken in my neighborhood in late August. I don’t  remember if I edited it, but I think I blurred the background a little. It was taken with my Olympus camera. It could be better if the butterfly was less blurry.

Tucker C - Tockus

 The image I selected for our first blog image and statement is of a bird shot I took on the Zoo trip this spring. I took it with my Nikon D-40 and made minor tweaks by upping the contrast. I believe the photo could have been better if the bird beak and eyes were more focused and not the wings but overall I was pleased with the way it turned out. 

Kingston C- Alone

 The title of this image is “Alone” . The reason for that is the car looks like it's the only one on the road and the street makes it look like it's in the middle of nowhere. This was taken at a gadsden camping lot, this was taken with a Nikon. The only thing i did was try to enhance the reflection and dark the photo a little bit, Only thing different i would want is the car to be a bit more clear.

Hazel A- Mars

 The title of this image is called Mars, it was taken in Orlando, Florida on How to train your dragon rollercoaster on march 21 with my sony camera (used for trips). I didn't have to edit it much although I did do some retouching and cropping. I could have edited this better if I had chosen to show a better view that was there but overall possibly could have made the background better and is still a great photo.
