Nicole T - Art Show

The name of this image is Art Show. It was taken in January at the Birmingham Southern Art Competition with my phone. I edited it by merging the pictures together because it’s a panorama and using the clone stamp in any blank areas. I also made it black and white with color added back in. It could be better if I spent a little more time fixing the tiles at the top.

Tyler L- Ryder

I titled this photo Ryder because the subject is my dog Ryder. I took this photo while hiking with my dog along the Cahaba while shooting for my Black and White assignment. I shot this with my Nikon D3300 in Aperture Priority mode. I edited this photo my using a black and white layer and sharpening my dog. If I could Change something about this photo it would be to have a line of shadows going across his face to give him a mysterious look.

DeVaun J-Neon

The name of this picture is Neon. I took it as apart of my studio shoot.I used blacklight paint to do the designs on her face and used a blacklight to make it glow. I also used glitter based makeup to make her sparkle a little more. The only editing I did to the photo was brightening it so that it looked more clear.

Asil H- Pink Flowers

I took this picture with my iPhone 7plus last summer when I went to Chicago. I edited this image by cropping it and adding filters to it and I played around with the picture as well.

Grant S.- Thoughts of The City

This picture is called “Thoughts of The City”. I edited this by turning the picture of Jahir black and white with silver Efex. I then did the same thing to the picture of the city. I then used the analog efex to use the double exposure tool. I could of made this picture better by cropping Jahir better.

Heath M- Markings

The title of my image is called “Markings.” This was taken a couple weeks ago during the black and white assignment at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at around 5:00 p.m. This image was taken with my Canon EOS 40D. I edited this picture by first taking it through my camera’s HDR settings, then I went into Photomatix and played around with the tools, then used the adjustment tools and cropping in Photoshop. I believe this picture could be a bit better if I just was able to get a clearer shot and had a tripod at the time when I was shooting.

Raven H ~ Dandy

This image is title Dandy because it is a dandelion in the grass. I took this picture on my phone while at my brother’s soccer game. As for editing, all I did was blur the background, sharpen the top of the dandelion, and used brush tools to add the blown away pieces. I really like this image but it could be better if I could’ve taken some of the existing bristles off to give it a more realistic look.

Alyssa-Flower on Black jpg

I took this image with my Canon Rebel at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens a couple of weeks ago. It was kind of overcast to there were some very dark shadows in the image and once I put a black and white filter on it I liked how the white popped out from the darker black background. But like my high key and low key images I blacked out the background since there were some inconsistent gray and white spots that took the attention away from the flower and the metal it has. I think if I adjusted how I took the original image I could have kept the background and played with the colors more. There are also some specks on this flower that I did not get rid of and I could have made the flower a little more appealing if I got rid of the specks.

Olivia H.- Brother

This is a picture of my brother that I took for a choice assignment. I took it with my T-6 Canon camera. To edit it I just messed around with it and used the select tool to move some parts of the pic and for each section I colored it. I didn’t color them all because I felt like it would be to much. I would like to edit it more but Im not sure how. I also sharpened the image and brightened it some.

Alicia U- Building

This picture was taken on a Saturday morning with my cannon camera STL1.
This picture was also used for the HDR assignment. I edited by using Photomatix 6 and then I took the picture into Photoshop and edited by making it brighter a little. I then colored the top of the clouds because it wasn’t going very well so I used the color yellow and then I clone stamped on the left and right sides to make it look a bit cooler rather then leaving it all yellow. I think making a 3D looking. To make this picture better I would have taken the picture at a better angle so the tree doesn't bother in the way of the picture and maybe clean it up a bit more.

Ryan F- UFOs

I took this photo a while ago towards the beginning of the school year. The concept was to add a pattern overplayed on the image that kind of matched the subject to shapes in the image. I took it with my Canon EOS Rebel T5i. It could be better if I had a higher elevation to take the picture from.

Dayne M- Camo

I took this image two weeks ago at Botanical Gardens with my Nikon D5500. I wanted to edit her to look as if she was blending into the background. To edit it to look this way, I used many copies of the image and masked out the areas I did not want. After that I applied a screen layer so that its somewhat see through and somewhat solid. To change the colors of the leaves and Maggie, I used a hue and saturation layer to make the leaves lighter green and Maggie darker so she has around the same brightness as the background. It would be better if she blended in a bit more while still having Maggie as the subject. Other than that, I really like how it turned out.

Cameron S- Loot

This photo is titled “Loot”. I took this picture of him a few weeks ago at my mom’s boyfriends house. I actually took this on my iPhone 10 and edited in photoshop by darkening the background and making is fave a little lighter. I think it could be better if the tip of his ears weren’t cut off at the top.

Cullen S- Untitled

This picture was taken at my house during the start of the final stages of my move out of it. I would alway likes to go outside in the mornings and lean over the side of the deck and look over it down into my cul-de-sac. I took this photo for the HDR assignment and dropped the exposure on my camera before settling with this setting. I shot in raw and edited it by bringing up the contrast and exposure a bit more and that was about it.

Anna Grace L- Galaxy Moon

This image is called Galaxy Moon and it is a composite of three images all taken with a Canon Rebel T5. The image used as the galaxy on the arms is a borrowed image from Google. To edit this I placed each individual picture in different sections to have to outcome that I wanted. The image is supposed to reflect how the Galaxy holds the moon in its hands. That is why I edited it to make it look like the moon was being held. It would be better if the moon was complete and not cut off a little.

Lesly M- Eucalyptus Record

I like the color green a lot because I enjoy looking at things that are green, for example, grass is nice to look at because it’s green. I decided to edit this image using the color green but I did not want that to be the only color visible so I left the orange and black from the actual record. The light reflection in the image is nice as well because the record is reflecting the window light. As you can see the actual record is so messed up. It has a lot of scratches to it but I personally think it gives the record personality like dang mistreated af. But anyways the way I edited the image was adding a filter that felt right then I added noise to the image. After that I darkened it a little bit. Usually when I want to make something look vintage it always ends up working just right but I was bored just seeing that the image was just vintage looking. So I wanted to add something modern and I decided that I just wanted to liquify the image a bit. So then I dragged the edge of the image and ran it through the middle of the image but not going over the hole of the record. So then I just stopped editing because I liked the end result. I would change it if I had a better idea on how to make it cooler.

Olivia H - Little Sister

I took this photo at my house of my younger sister. To edit I changed it to black and white and I sharpened the image. I also got rid of stray hairs. I took this with my cannon T6. I like taking portrait pictures and bring the eyes out more by brightening them. I wish I could get rid of the light on her chin. I take a lot of pictures of her and I think it because we are very close and we almost lost her when she was born so she is very special to me, however she does get annoyed with me toking pictures.

Dayne M- Bubble Gum

I took this image over the weekend on top of the Pizitz parking garage in Birmingham. I took it with my Nikon D5500 on manual mode as I tried to mess around with the settings and my extended flash. To edit, I adjusted the overlay layer, added a filter to give the image a cool tone and bring out her eye color. It could be better if her right side wasn’t so dark, other than that I like how it turned out.

DeVaun J- Lookin Out

The Name of this picture is “Lookin out”. I took it on Feb. 5th at moss rock. I bumped up the vibrance and saturation a good bit. It would be better if the blue around the top of the trees wasn’t so gross looking.The picture is of my best friend andy ! He’s hard to photograph because he moves a lot lol.

Ryan F- Overlooked

The title of this photo is “Overlooked.” I took it with my Canon EOS Rebel T5i a couple weeks ago for the theme I decided on which is self portraits. I took this picture in Moss Rock Preserve using a tripod and a timer to take a picture of myself. I edited it on my phone in Lightroom. I used a filter, changed the lighting, modified the colors, and increased the sharpness and quality. It could be better if it was more dramatic and interesting.
