Jacob T- The Enterprise

I called this picture The Enterprise since it was the same name as the boat. It was taken on Dauphin Island with my Canon Rebel T6. I edited by increasing contrast and the color. I also put a HDR filter on it to try and flatten the tones. In the original image the left side of the boat was really over exposed and started to look worse when messing with the contrast. I think that I could still work on the over exposed part of the boat.

Olivia N -Broadwalk

The title of the image is Broadwalk and was taken in Destin,FL. I edited the image in Photoshop and cropped some of the image. I edited the picture by increasing the detail extraction and saturation in certain areas of the background. Also, the brightness and contrast was adjusted to make the building and its surrounding details appear clearer. The image could be better if the sky was not as grainy and if the image was taken at a different angle.

Michelle A- Butterfly

  This is a butterfly I took from the Zoo trip. I photoshopped the lines in so they are more noticeable. I made the blue on it glow so it looks more alive because it’s dead. I don’t remember much from this trip but I do remember it was a hot day.

Mollie E- "Over the Shoulder"

This image is entitled “over the shoulder” and it was taken at the zoo when we went on the field trip. I took this with my Nikon d3400 and I edited this in Photoshop. I brightened it up and used the levels and curves tools. I added some light green to the background and used the dodge and burn tools on the eye as well as added a vignette. There is a little bit too much noise in the background but overall I really like this picture.

Jasmine W - Isolated Fox

“Isolated Fox” was taken at the Birmingham Zoo on April 11th. It was taken with a Canon PowerShot SX530 HS. I edited the picture by first turning it black and white. I added a layer on the picture so I could make the nose a little darker. I also used the levels tool to show more contrast. I’m not sure how it could be better. 

Hannah J- Curling Fire

This picture is called Curling Fire. It was taken in my front yard on 4/18/19. I took the picture with my Canon PowerShot, and edited the contrast and lighting before added a filter. It turned out pretty much how I wanted it, so I wouldn’t change anything.

Jahred T - Bowser

This picture is named Bowser, you know the giant turtle dinosaur thing out of the Mario games. I took it at the Birmingham zoo on April 11, I took it with a ronin canon camera.I used the HDR features on it and toolkit into photoshop to brighten it a bit more than the HDR did

Esther K- Isolated

I named this picture Isolated for the reason that this is an animal that is isolated from everything else. I took this picture at the zoo and it was in the bird section but it was isolated from the other birds so I took the opportunity and too a picture. I sharpened this picture and I inserted it into photoshop and changed the brightness and contrast. This picture could be better if it was more focused and the background was blurred.

Carson R - Endangered

This image is entitled “Endangered”. It was taken at the New Orleans Zoo the weekend before Spring Break with a Nikon d3400. I edited this image by increasing the contrast of the elephant and brightening it up a little bit. I then painted the background black. I used the dodge and burn tool to mess with the details. I also had to remove lines of wire as the enclosure was in the way which took a very long time. I then moved the image to Lightroom in order to increase the clarity of the animal. I don’t know of any way this image could be better.

Dalton C. - Sloss

The title of this image is “Sloss”. It was taken over winter at Sloss furnaces. It was taken with my Canon Rebel T1I, I edited it by changing the saturation and sharpness then turning it to black and white. I think it could be better if I took it at a little better angle.

Charis H- Posture

I took this picture a few weeks ago at Briarwood in my sister’s ballet studio. It was taken at 9:00 am when the sun was still not fully at its peak, so the lighting was perfectly balances and was able to cast perfect lighting and shadows. This picture was taken with a Canon Rebel XSi. I went simple with editing and increased the contrast and used the doge tool to highlight some areas.

Emily R- View from the Plane

I took this picture with my Canon, on the plane to New York. This was I think in New Jersey. All I did to edit this was bump up the color, saturation, tone, contrast, and sharpness. It could be better if it was more in focus and had more of the salt deposits, rather than the trees.

Jahred T - Plant Spine

I took this picture around this time last year, I used Photomatix 6 toed the picture I stacked the picture twice onto it self I used the Enhanced 2 setting on it to give it the texture it has. I then took it to photoshop and used toy camera 7 to give it the zoomed and darker texture.

Magali V- Warmth

The title of the image is “Warmth” because of the feeling that I felt, the lighting and the pinecone reminded me of sunshine and the time of the year when summer starts to cool off into autumn. This picture was taken in the studio with a Cannon Rebel. I edited this picture by darkening the background and by enhancing the colors. I feel that this picture could be beer if it was centered differently.

Lauren B- Chicago Sky Deck

This picture is called Chicago Sky Deck because the band went to Chicago this March and I took my Canon ti6 with me to capture some cool architecture. The is an HDR photo that I edited using Photomatix Pro and put a cool filter on it. I also turned up the color and saturation some and cleaned up a few things in the background. I really like this picture but I think if it was not foggy and the picture was taken at a little better angle it could be improved.

Olivia H. - Pretty Bird

I took this picture at the National Zoo in Washington DC over spring break. I took it with my Canon T6 . To edit I did very simple things, I darkened the image and upped the contrast. I sharpened it and then I just selected the bird and made him more vibrant. I really like the angle I took this picture at and I really like how it came out.

Zach B- Dream Far Away

No statement provided.

Jacob T- Beach House Pano

I called this beach house panorama and it was taken on dauphin island.  It was taken with my Canon Rebel T6 and is made up of 53 pictures. I edited it by using the Niks Collection in Color Efex pro 4. I really like how there is so much detail that shows up but because of that the sky is a little too grainy. I also think that the sunlight that hits the blue building could have been extended a little more to look more natural.

Hannah J- Living in A Fish Bowl

This picture is named Living in a Fish Bowl. It was taken in my front yard and at the Georgia Aquarium during our marine science field trip. It was taken on my Canon PowerShot, and edited with different filters and colors. The fish could be more precisely cut out, but overall I like how it turned out.

Mollie E- "Highway"

This image is entitled “Highway” and it was taken on the Alford Avenue exit in Bluff Park. I took this with my Nikon d3400 camera at around 8 at night with a tripod and a very slow shutter speed. I edited it in Photoshop by bumping up the contrast a little bit and changing the levels and curves. I also used the Analog Efex filter from the Nik Collection and I think it gave it a really nice effect. I wish I could have avoided the motion caused by the cars passing on the bridge, but I don’t think there was much I could to to stop that.
