EDUARDO M- Panorama


 This picture was taken February 22 on my way to school. I took it with my iPhone XS. I edited by combining 12 different pictures and put them together for the Panorama assignment and I also added a NIK collection filter to it. Overall I think it came out really good and i'm satisfied with my work.


Mitchell C - Shattered


 This image is called Shattered, of course, after the broken glass. I took this picture with my 6D camera body and 27-70mm 2.8 lens near my dad's work. I like the scale, the lines, symmetry, and perspective and even the hues and contrast that I added in post-production. Because it is such a simple subject, I am not sure what I would change about it looking back, but I am very happy with how it turned out!


Jerusha K- Doors


 This photo was taken in an alleyway on a Saturday afternoon in downtown Birmingham. I took this photo with my Canon T7i. There were so many doors that looked like they were in a 1950’s mob movie so I really vibed with that. This door had this yellow mustard and olive color and I really liked it so I took a horizontal photo  so I can get the old age of the doors surroundings to make it have the aged look. I fixed up some weird impurities so you wouldn’t get that distracted and messed with the levels so it can get a pretty nice darker and contrasted look a little deeper and adjusted the doors brightness and contrast and burned a couple areas to give it more character. One thing I wish I could have done better was making the photo even more richer so it doesn’t look so washed out.

Jiya P- Beauty


 The title of my image is Beauty. I took this image for the High and Low Key assignment. To edit this image, I pull the brightness up. I also made this picture a little sharper. I took this picture in my closet where I turned off lights and had a flash on from one hand and the camera on the other. 


Clay K- Zoomed In On The Detail


 My favorite image in the chair assignment was the one that zoomed in on the detail. I chose this one because it looked pretty nice and glorified the detail because it was quite crisp. I like this assignment because it was fun. I wish I didn’t get quarantined in the middle because it prevented me from better and a more variety of images.

Kameron M - Night Lights


 The title of the image is Night Lights and I took it a couple weeks ago while I was downtown in Atlanta. I took the photo with my Canon Rebel T7. I edited it by adjusting the curves on the photo and lowering the amount of highlighting areas. I think the image could have been better had I taken a more clearer picture and spent more time editing it to sharpen the look of it.


Katie H - Peek



The title of my image is “Peek.” It was taken in my house a couple of weeks ago with some of my friends modeling for me. This one happens to be a picture of my friend Mena. It was taken with my Nikon camera. I edited it by doing some patch work and a lot of dodging. The eyes were brightened and lights were reflected on the face. Overall I thought it turned out very good but if I were to add anything, I would add more freckles or make the existing ones pop more. 

 

Emaleigh S- An Old Journey


 The title of my image is An Old Journey. I took this photo in  Old Wetumpka, Alabama a couple of months ago. I took it with my grandmothers Nikon D7200 camera. I increased the sharpness along with the definition to bring out the old look of the object. I also brightened the image along with decreasing the shadows. Lastly, I lowered the saturation to make it look more dull. The only thing I would change about this photo is the angle which it was taken.

Sasha C - Wolf


 The name of this image is “Wolf”. This was taken at the Birmingham Zoo, on the field trip last year. This image was taken with Nikon D3200, I edited by playing around with the saturation and also the contrast. I feel this picture would have been better if the background was different. 


Alana W- Fine China




The title of this image is Fine China and it was taken on December 7, 2020 at my home. I took it with my Canon Rebel T6 and used a black curtain, a light and chairs to prop the bowls. I edited the image by making the background even darker so the curtain lines aren’t seen. I adjusted brightness and contrast on the bowls, levels, and exposure to get it the desired affect of the light coming in from one Side of the room. I feel like this image is pretty cool but it could have been better if I was able to get a more clear shot.

Ainsley M- Golden


 This image was taken back a couple of months ago when we got out of school for snow and ice. I took it with my Nikon d3500 at a field near my friends house. To edit it I started by changing around the colors and adding a little more brightness to make it kind of airey. I also used the patch tool and the hue/saturation to fix the redness on her eyes and nose from the cold weather! I think this image could be better if I spent a little more time editing/adjusting it but I really like how it turned out!

Evelyn C - Inspect


  The name of my image is Inspect and it was taken with my Canon Rebel T6. I took the main picture at the Santos coffee shop at Brocks Gap Parkway, the sunset from my apartment complex, and the necklace in the studio. I increase the contrast and saturation on the background image and I placed two copies of the sky on top. I then used a mask to uncover the Quetzal (bird) so that it popped out and added the necklace in the background to provide a bit more texture.

I intentionally left the two people and the post at the bottom to give it a feeling of sightseeing. Overall I am satisfied with the outcome and the main thing I would change would be how to better incorporate the necklace in the background.

Julien F - Jellyfish


 I took this picture at Georgia Aquarium a few weeks ago. I used my iPhone to take this and did some basic editing on my phone as well. I mostly made it more saturated as well have a higher contrast. I really think of anything else I would do different to this image other than use my actual camera to try and get an better focused shot. I really like this image and it was one of my best from the trip.

Kameron M - 1983


 The title of the image I selected is 1983 (after the jimi hendrix song). It is a composite of multiple pictures taken throughout hoover over the course of a year. I took the picture using my Canon Rebel T7. I edited it by changing the overlay on each photo and turning the colors up and down using the RGB filter. I honestly do not think it could have been better, I really like how this composite came out.

Hannah R- Aldridge Gardens


 I took this photo at Aldridge Gardens with my Nikon D3500. I edited it by turning up the vibrance a lot because I really like the bright colors in it. I Used the burn and dodge tools to enhance the water. It could probably be better but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Sasha C - Big Bird


 The Big Bird.  This Picture is a composite, contains 3 images. This picture was taken with Nikon D3200. All of the 3 pictures were taken in different places. The Picture of the Bird was taken at the Birmingham Zoo. The BackGround picture of leaves was taken In my neighborhood. The Lamppost was taken in Boston. The way I edited a lot of layers of the picture looks as real as it can and I played around with Hue/Saturation. 



Merit O- Happiness


 The name of this image is Happiness. I took the picture downtown January 31st when I was hanging out with some friends. I took the picture with my canon table T5. I originally took about 15 pictures of it and then put them together in photoshop to make it a panorama. I then edited it by making it more saturated and vibrant, and changing the color tent. I like how t came out, I think it could be better if I moved to the right some and tried to get the same amount of parking spots under it. 

Jerusha K- Piccolo


 This image is a composite from our last project and I have combined some piccolo photos that I took in the band room with Mr. Rigsby’s camera. I used the pictures from another assignment. I duplicated the corner pics to be mirroring each other and I added a hand heart silhouette on the actual body of the piccolo. The blending is not the best I could not really get the fade in the top right corner of the end of the piccolo right and the same with the bottom. If I blended the corner pics better and warped the hand on the body of the piccolo it would make the photo so much better.

Mitchell C - Bennett


 The title of this image is Bennett, named after my little brother. I took this picture on my back patio a few years ago. This was my first time using an 85mm 1.2 with my Rebel t5i. I think that the image turned out amazing. I like the composition and how close my brother is. I, of course, converted this image to a black and white, adjusted the contrast and brightness. On the contrary, I don't really like the grain on the side. It had nothing to do with my camera settings, it appeared in post production. As soon as I changed it to a B&W, this is what happened. But I still really like this image and the way it turned out. 


Julien F - Happy Cat


 I call this picture Happy Cat because it’s my cat happily sleeping in the sun on top of my sister’s record player. I took this a about a week ago on my phone while working on the panorama assignment. I didn’t do any editing to image and I’m happy with how this came out. It’s very simple but looks nice.
