Emma B- Moving Day

 I took this image on April 2nd, 2024 at my friend’s new apartment. I took this picture with my iPhone 11 Pro Max using the Dazz Cam app. The only thing I did to edit this image was crop the Dazz Cam logo out and turn it horizontally. I don't think this image could get any better. You can see the excitement on their faces and that's what makes a good photograph, the emotion. I would’ve helped them carry the box but I had a broken hand at the time so they made me sit to the side. That day was eye-opening because it made me realize that we’re growing old and becoming adults with our own little lives. What might seem like time is going by slowly to some, to others it's going by too quickly.

Michelle R- Animals

Animals it was taken at the zoo on Wednesday of this week. I took this photo with my Canon camera. I darked the tones to make the details of the turtle pop out more and be more clear. I am not sure I would change anything on it. Its so cute!!!!!!

 

Vincent S - Fedy 4k

 This is a picture of my camera focusing on two of my plushies in my closet I took with my phone. To edit it, I used the raw camera filter to make it look grainier and a bit brighter. I like this picture a lot because of how stupid they look. It’s silly.

Sophia T - Earthy

I took this image in Moss Rock of my beautiful friend, Kenia. I edited it in Photoshop using the Nik Collection. I was inspired by 70s rock album covers by muting the color tones, adding grain, and increasing the haze. I would have liked to see this image taken from a different angle. Other than that, I am happy with how it turned out.

 

Aidan P- Generator

This image was taken at Sloss Furnace back on December 28. I used my Canon Rebel T7 camera to take the picture from different angles but this one was the best. I used a filter to add an old look to it while also increasing the grain. I made sure it had a slight yellow tint for the and by doing these things it made it a little less clear. I do like tnat it made it look older though since it’s a picture of something old. I thought it gave it a look from an old film or documentary so I thought it was at least an interesting picture. One thing I might change is a little more light in the back but that might mess up the front some. Overall it was a different picture from my rest but once again I thought it was at least an interesting picture.

 

Wendy S- Flowers

The title for my image is “Flowers”. It was taken in my neighbor's yard which had a field of these flowers, I took this picture with my iPhone I edited by fixing the brightness, warming the colors, and brightening certain colors.

 

Caroline M- Lotus

 The title of this image is Lotus. I took this photo on March 24, 2024 on my spring break trip to Austin. To edit this I used the remove tool to remove all the dirt from the lily pads and remove some leaves from the water. I used a bunch of vibrance to make the pink stand out more and I used the selective color to turn the leaves a more orange-ish color. Im very happy with how this photo turned out especially knowing how the original photo looked.

Dylan T- Vivid Spring

 I took this picture at Orr Park in Montevallo over spring break with my canon rebel T7. I really liked the angle of it it looked like a long hallway of trees if i had to describe it and i thought it would make for a nice picture and it did. I didn't do much but play with the colors a bit and make it look more vivid and im pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

Nathan E- Inner Demon

 This is a photo I made when I was bored in class one day. I used a Snapchat filter then took that photo and adjusted it from the colors of the shirt which I pated back in and then I took an eye photo I had and warped the colors then coped or related the eye so it fit in both eyes.

Helen S- Depth

I titled this image Depth. I took it at my house about 2 weeks ago. I used my Canon Powershot camera. I edited this image by cropping the image in and using the burn tool. I used the sharpen tool to sharpen parts of the eye and eyelashes. I think this image could be better if I used a higher quality camera and a zoom lens. Overall I’m very proud of this photo because of the detail I was able to capture.

 

Kenn J- Autumn Shining

 The title of this image is Autumn Shining. This was taken not too long ago in the digital photography room. This was taken with a Cannon Digital Camera. This was a composite layered image with multiple sections one was not edited and the other I changed the brightness and contrast and i played around with the camera raw filter. I think it would be better with some more lighting on her face. 

Dori H- Butterfly Touch

 The title of this piece is “Butterfly Touch”. I created this image about two weeks ago however each individual image used to create it was taken throughout the school year. To create it I used my friend’s arm and masked it to make it come outward from the image. I also morphed the arm to align it with the mirror and to angle it to the correct perspective. I then added the butterfly and added my signature glow. I do wish the glow was more evenly distributed, I feel as though it is slightly leaning towards the right side, making the left side of the butterfly empty. It’s a small detail that isn’t too noticeable but I will still likely change it to make the image slightly better. I’m not sure but I might also pull the butterfly closer to the hand. I really like this image and It was super fun to work on, I hope to create more like it soon.

Alex BH- Whiskers

 This image is called “Whiskers” because of how prominent his whiskers are in this image. This photo was taken in my room on April 3rd, 2024. I took this with my Olympus Stylus. I used the camera raw filter to edit the exposure and brightness while adjusting the cropping. It would be better if i had gotten more of his ears in the photo.  

Steven L- Ocean

It’s a simple picture of the sea, there is nothing particularly important about it. I took it when I was at the beach for a day, and I edited by applying a motion blur motion and a HDR filter. Lastly I increase the brightness and the shadows. I think it looks good, not my best picture but I like it. 

 

Emily K - Puerto Rico Building

 This picture is titled Puerto Rico Building because I took it during spring break in Puerto Rico with my Canon rebel t7. I brightened up the image and messed with the blue tones. I think it could be better if I dodged some of the darkness under the awnings. But overall, this was a fun assignment and I had a great time taking pictures in Puerto Rico!

Maci J- Spring Bud

 The title of this image is “Spring Bud”. I took this photo in my backyard sometime in March with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras. I edited this photo by making adjustments to the clarity and used the dodge tool to make some areas brighter. I think the quality of this image is good enough I just think it’s kind of a boring subject. This photo was supposed to be one of my transition photos between winter and spring; I think it kind of achieves this purpose but it’s not one of my stronger images. 

Brandon B- Take My Hand

This image is title “Take My Hand”, and is an I took of my hand with fake blood on it.  I took this image on April 1st in my garage around four in the afternoon.  My editing started with removing my hand from it's original background, making it as it's own layer.  Next I created a background with a picture I took of clouds, and used a blending/smudge brush to blend it into the seen background.  I added White and black color to the background mix to show some light and dark at the top and bottom respectively.  I masked some of the background around the wrist of my hand.  Next I used a screentone brush in green to splotch around the image for added detail.  From there I flattened the image in order to apply curve adjustments and Nik collection filters.  This could be better if I spent more time on the masking and details at the end.

 

Wendy S- Oreo

The title for this photo is my Dog's name “Oreo”. It was taken at a parking lot on a weekend, It was taken with my iPhone. I edited it by removing some leaves and cracks on the road, I also brightened the brown on his eye. It would be better if Oreo were looking up a bit more so that his whole face was in the shot but other than that it was a nice photo.  

 

Emma B- Not Listening

 This image was taken in the studio at school on February 7th, 2024. I took this image with the Canon t6. I edited the image by combining my different exposure photos into one which is called an HDR. Next, I chose a filter to be applied on top of the image from the HDR selections. Finally, I went into Photoshop, removed her fly-aways, and smoothed the background. It would be better if I had a better background.

Michelle R- Sorpresa

Sorpresa in English means surprise. It was taken at a parking lot and it was taken on Valentines Day. The photo was taken with my Canon camera. I retouched some spots and lights the color within the flowers and I also darken the background to center the flowers and the inside of the car. I believe if I could have spread out more of the white balloons I would have even inside the car. Everyone deserves flowers, not just girls but boys too.
