DrewF- Foundation

This photo was taken mid February in Gatlinburg Tennessee. This photo was taken with a D3300. I edited through photoshop making it Black and White as well as smaller details tweaked.  This could have been better if the clarity was better.

Ben D- Crumble

The title of this image is “Crumble.” I took this photo in an abandoned elementary school downtown a few weeks ago. For this image, I played around with the clarity and tones a bit in Lightroom, but didn’t do too much else. I used a fisheye to accentuate the size of the space in the photo as best as I could. Overall, I like the photo and I’m not sure what I’d really change to it besides maybe shooting with a really wide non-fisheye for a different look.

Hunter Fair - B&W 4

I took this photo as part of the Black and White Assignment. This photo, along with the other photos that I took, were themed around restaurant signs. All I did to edit this photo was change the color to Sepia via Black and White. Overall, I like this photo, but I think it would be better if it was angled more to the front.

Grant S.- The Calm

This photo is titled “The Calm”. I titled it this because the picture gives off a calming feeling. I took it in Pensacola a while ago. I edited it by messing with the Color Efex and Analog Efex. It could be better if maybe I turned the color down a little.

Chloe J- A Work in Progress

I took this picture 4 days ago in Bluff Park with my Canon Xsi. I didn’t edit it at all, because I like the original. I think it might be better if it was a little brighter and if I were to work more on it, but it is a work in progress.

Rachel P - Regions Field

The title of this image is Regions Field, well, because it’s a picture of Regions Field in downtown. It was taken right before sunset last year before winter break. To edit this, I added a little bit of more brightness, as well as played with the contrast and levels. I’m pretty satisfied with the outcome, other than waiting a little bit longer to take it so the sunset could in it as well.

Ryan F- Cloudy Downtown

This picture is titled “Cloudy Downtown.” It was taken in downtown Birmingham, Al, in January. I made it into a black and white and used lighting effects to add detail to it. It could be better if it was less noisy.

Dayne M- A Night Downtown

I took this image downtown Birmingham last Friday night. To take this image, I used my Nikon D5500. I edited the image by brightening her face and eyes because they were so dark and then I increased the saturation of her shirt colors to add some more vibrancy to the image. After finishing editing Lexi, I decided to create a composite with two other images where I blurred them significantly and then adjusted the levels to bring out bright light and dark black. Using a screen filter, I was able to keep only the interesting colors and create the weird looking background and the rainbow in front of her. It could be better if she was a bit more in focus and the entire picture wasn’t so grainy, but I like the finished product.

Grace H- Tip Top Grill

I took this photo a few weeks ago of my friend Diana at Tip Top Grill. I used my canon 80D and my sigma 30 mm f/1.4 lens. The editing software I used was photoshop. In photoshop I brightened her eyes to make them stand out in the portrait. I then just did basic adjustments like adding several filters to the image. Overall I really like this photo and how it looks. The only thing that I dislike about this photo is that it is a tad bit blurry and out of focus. I am still trying to experiment with my new camera lens and some of the photos seemed to have a hard time focussing.

Justin C- Grin

I took this photo a few weeks ago using my Nikon D3300. It was about midday on a fairly sunny day. I took it at one of the parks in downtown b-ham. I edited this photo by messing with the vibrance, saturation, curves and levels. In this end I really liked how this photo turned out, and I’ll probably go back another time and clean it up just a little bit more.

Jordan H- Adelynne

The title of this image is Adelynne because that is who it’s of. I took this photo at a first birthday party on February 21st for the black and white assignment. I took this with my Canon 5D mark iii and ,y 50mm lens. This photo was taken for the black and white assignment so obviously it is edited in black and white. I made it a more softer black and white to fit the mood. I think the image could be better if she was maybe looking at the camera instead of looking away. Overall, I am very happy with this photo.

Brody G- Top Garage

The title of this image is Top Garage because that is the drift that is tandeming in this photo. I took this picture at the very first Midpoint drift event. I took this with my Sony a6000 and to edit it I played with the shadows and highlights and adjusted the saturation just a little bit. Overall I really enjoy this photo and I can’t see anything that I would want to change:):)

Justin C- Savannah

This is a photo of my friend Savannah, this photo has been heavily edited in several different ways. I messed around with the levels a lot to give it a slight mute to start with. I then adjusted the curves, vibrance, saturation, and brightness. I burned sections of the image to slightly darken the background. I cleared up some of the blemishes and fixed some just minor things. I removed some of the stray hairs to make them less distracting, and a little bit of color correction.

Lupita G- Untitled

I took this near a burned down hotel. It was cloudy and rainy. I edited it by using the Nix collection in photoshop

Jordan H- Wavin' Flag

The title of my selected image is Wavin’ Flag. I took this on February 14th in the Preserve for the HDR assignment. I edited it in Photomatix and used the different filters to manipulate it. I think it could be better if I maybe added some more color and some more contrast, but overall I think it looks cool.

Grant S.- Purple

This photo is titled “Purple”. I titled it this because the sky appears purple. I edited it by messing with the hue and saturation. It could be better if it was more focused.

Rere H- Golden Stairs

The name of my image is Golden Stairs. I took it downtown at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Birmingham. It was suppose to a HDR bracketed photo but the pictures didn’t line up perfectly together. I think this photo looks pretty cool. Its a little too grainy, but it gives off a rich golden vibe. I took this picture with my Nikon D3000. It would have been better if it was align with each other and if it wasn’t so grainy _––– the

Ryan F- Green

The title of this image is “Green.” It is a composite of 4 Images created in photoshop. I edited the colors with hue and arranged the composition of the overall image after combining them all. It could be better if i had one more image involved in it.

Chloe J- Adidas

I took this picture 3 weeks ago with my Canon XSi, I took it in the afternoon on a parking deck near the Galleria. To edit it I added contrast to the image as well as adding a black and white VSCO filter. I like the simplicity and cleanliness of this image, I wouldn’t do anything to change it.

Dayne M- Beach Getaway

This picture was taken over the long weekend while I was at Orange Beach. I took this image with my Nikon D5500 and the image is an HDR. I edited the image by blending the images together and brightening and darkening areas that were too dark or bright. The image was also not saturated enough, so I increased the saturation. I think it could be better if the pole didn’t have the numbers on it, but instead had the name of the beach or something. Also, if there was a larger range of colors I would like the image more. Overall, I like the way the image came out.
