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.

Linley W- Guitar Girl

The title of my picture is “Guitar Girl.” I took this picture last semester, but I recently edited it last week. I took this picture with my Nikon camera. I edited this picture by cropping in heavily, adding a warming filter over it, and stylizing the picture like an oil painting in order to make it softer. I also sharpened it as well. This picture could be better if the foot was posed differently. However, I do like this picture a lot. 

Allie S- Alien

 The title of my image is Alien. It was taken in the studio at Hoover High School. It was taken on February 15, 2023. It was taken with a Canon Rebel T3. I edited it by combining two images and adding NIK collection filters to it. I added a grain filter as well. I think I could have made the colors pop a little more.

Aiden S- Joker

 This was taken with my Canon T7 Rebel and was taken at my work. My friend just showed up with joker makeup on and I just had to take some photos with him. I love this pose he makes and I love how the makeup is in detail in the photo. Only thing that would make it better is the clarity and if it was more in frame. 

Brandon B- Midnight Aura

The photo I choose to feature from this assignment is called “Midnight Aura”.  I had actually taken this photo on a whim when waiting for a pizza to be ready at Brixx.  I had pressed my phone up against the car window to have a steady shot for the three exposures.  This photo was taken with my iPhone 13 Pro.  I used Photomatix to get the HDR combination, and then plugged it into photoshop with the midnight Nik collection filter for a midnight effect.  I then used the stamp tool to take out some glare.  Finally, I cropped a flag out of the image that had come out weird as it blew in three different directions when taking the different shots.  I felt it could be better without the light behind the tree.  Be sure to comment on my image!

Maddie T-Big Thief

 This is a photo of Adrianne Lenker from Big Thief playing at Iron City on Feb 18th 2023. I was also on the media team for this show. It was edited in lightroom. 

Ayla S- Glitch

 This image is titled “Glitch.” This photograph was taken in my house in January. This photo was taken with a Canon Rebel T6 camera. To edit this photo, I used a black and white filter in Photomatix. It could be better if it had a deeper meaning behind the glitched screen.

Alex B- Water Against The Rocks

I titled this Water Against The Rocks, This image wa taken on September 30th 2022 while taking photos for the reflections assignment. I took this image at the Cahaba river behind the school. I took this with my Canon Reble T7. I used raw filter to edit and sharpened the image, while cropping it just a bit. I actually really like this image and i dont think that it could be better. ( plz give opinions of how you think it could be better :D ) 

 

Joseph R- Wind

 This photo was taken in a swamp in Montevallo with a Panasonic Lumix. I sharpened the boardwalk since it was a little blurry, and adjusted the colors and contrast to make everything look less flat. I wish the camera shot higher resolution photos, but overall I like it.

Aidan P- In The Alley

 This image was for the HDR assignment and was taken in downtown Birmingham. I took this  next to an old building in the alley and I think it was a pretty good angle. When I combined the images it didn’t look the best but once I added the filter it made it a lot better. The filter was called creative and I have used it more than once but once I added it a lot more detail was shown. I did add some other little changes like getting rid of some of the saturation of the red. I also gave it a darker more rainy day look. Overall I really liked this image and is one of my favorites bu as usual that’s just my opinion.
