Morgan C- Christmas Cupcake

This picture was taken on an iPhone during christmas time. Emily, Liz and I made a bunch of christmas treats and this one was a cupcake with a ice cream cone on top of it. We crushed peppermints and put them on it as well. It was a really fun experience :)

Kinsey V- “Drifting Seasons”




This picture was taken at the Ross Bridge bridge in December with my Nikon D3000. I edited this picture by making a black and white layer and then restoring the original color of the leaf. I also boosted the saturation of the leaf a good amount to make it pop. This picture could have been better if I made the whole leaf more focused, but I love the image as a whole. 

Jackson W- Alabama Theater

The picture I chose was a picture I took downtown at the Alabama Theater.  I really liked this picture because of the colors in the sign and also how blue the sky was.  I increased the brightness and saturation to really bring out the colors in the sign.  I added the poster edges effect just to add a little something to the picture.  The day I went to take this Kimberly and Chris were getting married so thats why it says Congrats to them.  My favorite part is probably the american flag in the back ground.  I took this on a Friday around the afternoon.

Chris A- The Dream

The tile of the photo is The Dream I took it in the front of my house. The camera I used was a DSLR-A100 I edited it by making it black and white and re-colored it. I think it would be better if the photo was taken it the daytime.

This Photo is titled Winter Pool. It was taken in Destin over Christmas break at my aunt’s house. I took it with my Canon Powershot and edited it in Photoshop.

Raphael F- Greek History in Munich

I took this photo Friday at the museum of Greek history in Munich, Germany over Winter Break. This photo was taken with my iPhone because I wasn’t allowed to take my camera into the museum to take pictures. I edited this photo by bumping up both the saturation and vibrance of the colors. The photo could be better if I took it with my SLR instead of an iPhone which would increase the quality by a lot.

Shelby A- Tree Line

The title of this image is Trees and it was taken about a month ago at star lake. It was taken with a cannon EOS. I edited it with bumping up saturation, hue, brightness and contrast. It could be better by being more focused on the trees.

My picture is titled ‘Bernard’s Nap’. It was taken at my friends house on New Years eve. It was taken with my iPhone. I edited it only a little; with a filter and i upped the contrast. I don’t really think it could be better, it’s very simple and sweet. Although i do wish his paw was more in focus.  

Cory P- Christmas Fireplace


This picture is called “Christmas Fireplace.” I took this picture in my living room on December 15th for the Friends, Family, and Food assignment. I took this particular picture with my Sony Digital Camera. I edited this picture by sharpening it up and slightly increasing the vibrance. This picture is not completely in focus so I think I should focus on improving that in the future.



Claire A- Sparkle

The title of my image is Sparkle because its kinda sparkly and I love sparkles. This image was taken in my room on a Sunday night. It was taken with my moms camera. I could have made it better by taking it at a better angle. I like this picture cause I think it looks cool. I edited by adjusting the brightness and contrast.

    This image is called Dodge. Its a picture of someone working under the  hood and then the Dodge emblem and then the truck behind it. I edited this picture by adjusting the saturation and then painting the back ground black and white. Taken with an iPhone.

Ivy U- Rain Rain Go Away

this is a picture i took of a friend standing in the courtyard on a rainy day. we were at hoover high school. i named the picture rain rain go away. i edited it using photoshop and took it with my iPhone 5S. i really like how the picture turned out and how she has her feet turned. i wouldn’t change anything about this picture.

Jacob T- Landscape

This picture was taken above target. This picture was taken with my iPhone 5. I like this picture because of the landscape and how the sky looked that day. I edited it with photoshop and i added a brightness and played with the hue a little bit. This picture could be better if i took out the power line and the small warning poll on the ground.

Tait C- Blurry Water


This picture is called blurry water. I took this picture for the reflection assignment. I took this photo of a creek that runs through my backyard. I used my Canon Powershot camera. I edited this photo by applying a black and white effect and then restoring some of the color. I then boosted the hue, saturation, and vibrance . The final change I made was to apply a filter. The only thing I would change would be to tone down the filter so it is a little easier to see the reflection. Overall I like it.

Marco H- Storm

I edited this picture by making the color negative, which then made the picture look like a storm with lightning. I really like that effect so i decided to add the effect. Its ones of the pictures I edited that i like the most.

Hannah S- Rebecca

The title of this picture is Rebecca because it’s a picture of my friend Rebecca. I took this in the courtyard when we had the portrait assignment. I raised the saturation and hues, then cropped it so the picture focusses on her. It could be better if I had done a separated hue and saturation layer, then a black-and-white layer to really emphasize on her. 

Brooke F- Alabama Theater

I named my image Alabama Theater because it is the sign of the theater. I took it over Christmas Break when I went downtown. I increased the brightness and the vibrance. It could be better if the shadows weren’t on the top of the sign.

Michael C- American Flag Black and White

The name of the picture is American Flag Black and White. it was taken over Labor Day Weekend with a Canon Powershot SX200 IS. i started edited the picture by cropping, straightening, and enchanting it. then i turned the boost all the way up to seven. after that i turned up the definition highlights sharpness and de-noise all the way up and the shadows to 80. i did all of that in iPhoto then later on i continued editing it by making a black and white layer and adding back in the color of the red and blue. it could be better if some of the stripes on the flag weren’t messed up.

Melissa M- Anna

This image is titled “Anna”, it was taken at my grandmothers house over christmas break.  It’s of my cousin Anna when she was taking pictures with her camera,and I took it with my Nikon Coolpix.  I edited it by bumping up the contrast and sharpness, The only thing i would change is more space above her head.  Other than that i was very happy with the results.  

Jade B- Untitled

the title of this image doesn’t have a title. it was taken in dallas texas on christmas day.i really like this picture because of how it feel that the building is wrapped around and how the lights are out of focus. it could have been better if that one part of the building wasn’t so bright from the sun.

Ashley G- Sunset Forest

This picture, Sunset Forest, was taken on Christmas Eve at my Grandmother’s house. It was taken with my iPhone 4s. When I edited it, I lower the brightness and made it more vibrant. It could’ve been better if I was closer to the river.

Haley G- City Life

It was taken in Birmingham with my cell phone which is an HTC Rhyme. I put a black and white layer on it and erased away the black and white on the tress and taxi. I think it could be better if the taxi was sitting still.

This picture is titled NC farmhouse because it is a picture of a farmhouse up in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina. I took these over Thanksgiving break when I visited App State. I took it with my Canon Rebel, I turned up the contrast some and made it alttle darker. It would have been better if I could get the whole house in the picture but I had to drive by and take pictures and couldn’t get out. 

Rebecca G - Bob Cat

Meredith V- Sunglasses

The title of this image is “sunglasses”. I took this photo for the reflection assignment a few weeks ago at moss rock. This photo was taken on my Nikon camera. I edited this picture by adding a warm tone, increasing the contrast and saturation, as well as using the touch-up tool. I like that the first lens is what grabs your attention, but I wish that the back lens was a little bit clearer. 

Claye G- Colorado

 Over Christmas break my family and I stayed in Telluride, Colorado. This is a picture of the town and i love how you can see the mountains in the back. I really like this photo except I wish there wasn’t mud on the ground, but there’s nothing I can really do about that. I edited it by cropping the bottom and increasing the saturation. 

Sydney B- Street Light

This picture is called “Street Light”. I took this picture while I was in New York. i love this picture because of the angle that the picture was taken. I edited the picture by adding a lighter blue to the the middle of the sky closer tho the light and a darker blue around the branches. I also added hints of pink to the tips of some of the trees for a little bit of color contrast. Overall i really like this picture and wouldn’t change anything about it.

Hannah G- Over Christmas Break

This picture was taken in my front yard over Christmas Break. To edit it, I added a filter on my iPhone 5 and increased the saturation. I like all of the different colors of the sky. 

Matthew E- Tree Reflection

This is a photo of a tree that reflected off the table on my by back porch. I thought that this photo was cool because of the sharpness of the table. I added saturation to the photo to make the tree seem more intense also i faded out the chair to make the focus more on the tree and table. This picture could have been better if i made the tree a little less saturated. 

Allison S- Crazy Flower

The title of this image is “Crazy Flower”. I originally took this photo for the color assignment last semester but then I ended up using it for the pictorialist assignment. I took this picture with my canon powershot. To edit it, I added a lot of contrast, played around with several filters, and then used the liquify tool to bend the edges. It could be better if the very center of the flower was more focused but other than that I love it. 

Tyler C- Grapes of Wrath

This image is called Grapes of Wrath and was taken on a dirt path. This picture was taken for my English assignment and includes a quote from the book, The Grapes of Wrath. I edited it by lowering the saturation to give the image a more gloomy feel. This image could be better if the background was more clear and there was more detail on the grapes.

David K- Twin Hotels


The title of this image is called Twin Hotels. It was taken over the summer in Chicago, Illinois. It was taken with my iPhone. I think it could be a little better if part of the roof wasn’t in the picture.

Aleena B. - Into The Dark




The title of this image is Into The Dark. This was taken under a light in a room of my apartment about a week ago. It was taken with my nikon d80 and I warmed up the image a bit. I didn’t particularly want to add too much because I really enjoy the simplicity of it, though I would’ve liked it to be more centered.

Chloe W- Beach Reflection

This photo is called Beach Reflection.This was taken for my reflection assignment. To edit this picture I sharpened the photo then I changed the lighting of the photo. This photo could be better if there was better focus on the upper part of the shades by the top of the palm tree.

This picture was take on a sunday afternoon around 4:30 in my Grandparents backyard. It was a muggy day out which makes the picture look tired. The camera i used is a Nikon D50. i edited it by bumping up the contrast and brightness and enhancing the colors. It could be better if i had chosen a different setting to take the picture with on my camera because of the fuzziness.
