Clay K- Untitled

This was taken on my deck. It was taken with my Nikon d5000. It was taken at dawn on a partly cloudy day. I edited it by adding a red hue to the background, softened the background, darkened the shadows and added a multicolor fade filter onto the lenses of the glasses. It could be better if there was less bright colors and if it was more sharp.

Alana W- Downtown

The title of this image is downtown, it was taken in Downtown Birmingham on September 24, 2019. It was taken with my Canon Rebel T6 and I edited this image by enhancing it, I added the fade filter, adjusted the light and color, sharpened it, added definition, and gave the image a bit of noise reduction to give it a nice grainy approach. It could be better if I had cropped out the tree on the end or took a similar shot without the tree.

Bryson S - Sommarhöst


The name of the picture means “Summer Fall”, and represents a transition from summer to autumn. I took this image early in September, after bringing my camera on a walk. I found this bridge on one of the trails, and it seemed like the perfect place to take a picture. I used a Canon DSLR on a tripod to take the picture. To edit the picture, I used a channel mixing layer on photoshop to convert the green on the right side of the picture to the autumn colors.

Destiny P.-Disney Pyramid

I took this at Disney in December at Animal Kingdom. They were doing an African dance when my family and I were walking by. I didn’t edit this. I took it with my Sony camera. I think it looks great the way it is but if I could have gotten the whole pyramid of the dancers I would have loved that.

Emilee T- Flower

This image was taken a few weeks ago at Samford. I took this with my iPhone 8 plus. I edited this image by enhancing the colors and replacing some of them. I also experimented with the brightness in this photo. I, personally, really like the way this image turned out. I love the colors in this picture.

Kilee M - Cold Mornings

The title of this photo is “Cold Mornings”. This photo was taken on the morning of October, 29th. It was taken outside my house looking out at my bus stop. It was taken with my phone since I was on my way to my bus stop. I edited it by making it a bit darker and making the blue of the fog a bit more saturated. It could be better if it wasn’t as blurry and pixilated.

Diana H - Sister and Her Best Friend

I took this photo of my sister and her best-friend when I went to the fair. I was in the rid and the view was really cool so I tell myself let me take a picture.I took this Picture from my iPhone camera.I remember that it was almost sunset.I edit this photo by change the color and make it darkness and make the sky kinda looks like kinda pinkish.I really love this photo :)

Jayla F- Fake Love

Fake love Is the title of this photo. This was taken in my house in my bathroom it was taken with my I phone XR . I changes the color  to a red almost pink and uncolored my hand but left it cooled in the mirror . I thunk it would look way better if I didn’t have a gap in between my fingers.

Ali H- Creativity

This photo is called Creativity because makeup gives people a way to express their creativity. I edit his photo by lightening the photo up and adding more color to the photo. By lightening the photo it enhanced the glitter shades and gave them more than what was already there. I could made this photo better if I added more make up products than just an eyeshadow palette to build off of the idea of creativity.

Destiny P- Watercolor

I took this at my house and it is of a water bottle that my brother put oil, water and coloring in. I took it on October 1, 2019 for the Night and Day project. I took the picture with my Sony camera. I opened it in Photoshop and started messing around with the photo. I edited it by changing the lighting. I then changed the color of the liquid just a little section at a time. Then I used the smudge tool and moved the colors around the photo. I feel like if I could have made the top of the bottle more visible it would be better. Something I think people should know is to just have fun. The pictures don’t all have to be a specific way, experiment.

Kay P- My Road

The name of this image is called My Road. It was taken at my home sometime in August of 2019 and it was taken with my Canon Powershot. I didn’t edit this picture but it could probably be better if I increased the sharpness of it.

Jaiya D- Family Faces

The title is “Family Faces” and it was taken September 21 at my brothers wedding. it was taken with my Canon 7i and 18-55 m lens. I edited it by increasing the contrast and using flash so that it can mainly focus on my mother and brother. It could have been better if I would have cropped the picture so the remaining people wouldn’t be in the picture, which would keep them as the main focus. This was the first wedding out of all of my siblings, and all my siblings were involved in the wedding.

Vladimir S- Walk

I took this photo in clearwater during the summer. It was a pretty good view from where I was, so I just did it. I actually like this picture a lot its one of my best shots.

Madeline. P.- Washington D.C.

 This Photo was taken  when I went to Washington DC. I took this picture with my phone and using portrait camera. To edit this photo I used adjust and gave a little bit of brilliance and gave a little bit of contrast. This picture could be better if it would be taken a little bit more  farther. I went to Washington DC because I had a religion event at this day.

Samuel M- Mr. You Want a Cookie

The title of this photo is Mr. You Want a Cookie.  It took this when I was chilling with my friends at home. I took it with my iPhone 6 plus. What I did to edit this photo was to darken up to the room. It didn’t want much detail in his face so I bought up the definition of the photo. I think the photo would had been better if there was better lighting in the room. Before the room was too warm it had a lot of orange in it thats why I had to darken the room.

Savannah P-R- Smile

The title of this selected image is smile. The reason this photo is named smile is because this is one of the only photos of my best friend smiling. This was taken last school year outside the new band room. I took this with my phone and I edited this by increasing everything in the light portion of the photos app except I decreased exposure and highlights. I also increased saturation, edges, and falloff. I think I did the best I could have done with this photo.

Reagan M- Maggie

The title of this photo is “Maggie”. This picture was taken in my kitchen around dinner time. It was taken with my Dad’s Canon EOS Rebel T5i. I edited this picture by touching up my dog’s face and adding light to the picture.

Jamari J- Playsation is Trash

The title of my image is called Playstation is Trash. Is was taken at my house yesterday night. I used color and light to edit it. It could be better if I took the time to take at a different angle. Extra information could be that no one likes playstation and its trash.

Kevin T - Moments

The title of the selected image is Moments. This was taken in my house on the 2nd of September. I took this with my cybershop camera. I edited this by darkening the background and increasing the focus on the wording in the middle of the frame. I think it would be better if the light was more bright and natural.

Kaleb E- Off the Wall

The title of my photo is called off the wall. I took this outside my house in late august. I took it with a canon rebel t6. I edit it by rotating it and enhancing it.I could have done better by choosing a different place to take the photo. These shoes are my favorite pair.

Taha M- Friends Are Worth Sharing A Dog House With

This photo is called “Friends Are Worth Sharing A Dog House With”. I took this picture at my friends’ house. I took it using my iPhone 7. I edited it by using the chrome filter and increasing the brightness. It could be better if I increase the brightness.

Trey B- Sun Reflection

My title for this image is, Sun Reflection, and I took the image on 27 Aug, 2019 with my Canon camera. For this image, I didn’t make any edits since it already had high definition.
It could’ve been better perhaps if it was less centered it would have more going on, rather than just having the sun’s reflection and a few trees. This image isn’t exactly my best work, but it's a start to improving myself as time goes on.

Kaitlyn R- The Last Light

The title of the image is called “The Last Light.” This was taken in the bathroom in August 2019. This image was taken with a Canon camera. I had added a fade filter to this image and change the lighting of the picture. The way I can make it better is by maybe changing some of the things that I had edited within this picture, for example, the filter I used can be a big difference for the photo. Another thing I could change is the lighting of the picture.

Kara A- River

 This picture is called ‘River’. This picture was taken ivy the front door of my house. It was taken at night but it was taken inside so the lighting was good. This picture was taken with a Nixon Coolpix A10. I edited this picture in many ways. I cropped this picture to focus more on rivers face. That is the cats name. I thought this picture did not need a filter since the lighting was good. It could have used a little bit more lifting but it could have also used a small filter. In this image is my stepbrothers cat. He is very mean and he likes to play with this small Ball and he likes to carry it in his mouth. He is an American /shorthair and he is 2 years old.

Colin D- Fillmore

The title of this image is Fillmore I named it this because it is the same model as the stoner car from the movie cars. It was taken at Rosemary Beach at night. I took it with my iPhone and edited it by turning the colors up a bit. It could be better if I used a better camera and got a better angle. Overall I like how this image turned out because this car looks pretty cool.

Ethan N- By the Front Door

This picture was taken at my house by the front door. It was taken on August 22 at 7:02 PM.
It was taken on my Nikon camera. I edited the color and the brightness of the photo. It could be better if the background was blurry and I had used the rule of thirds. He is 4 years old and is about to be 5 years old

James L- Keyboard and Mouse

This is my keyboard and mouse to my game and I love being on my game. Gaming is so fun for those who don’t game you should , it clear your mind and help you relax and don’t think about the hard things that going on about life at the moment.

Jack J - Pink Floyd

The title of this image is Pink Floyd because the artwork is of Floyd album covers. I took this picture in my house on August 30th. It was taken with my family’s Canon Rebel. I edited it by adjusting the temperature of the image to give it a blue tint, which brings the eyes toward the Relics model. I don’t think the image could have come out better. Another reason why this image is my favorite is because I admire Pink Floyd’s album covers and the creativity and uniqueness of them.

Jacob V- Behind Bumpus Middle School

This image was taken in the spring of 2018 behind Bumpus Middle School. It was taken with my Nikon D70s. I edited the image with photoshop and was taking a more pictorialism approach at the edit. The image could have been taken in better lighting.

Sydney R - Bella

The title of this picture is called Bella, and I took it with my Finepix S2980. This was taken at a small sports court near my apartment complex, and shot this photo last weekend when I had free time.

 On that weekend my sister and I went down to the court and let our dogs run around so I could take some good shots of them running around. You can even see my other dog, Chester in the back ground.

Chris A - TV


This picture is titled “TV”. It was taken in my bedroom a few months ago. It was taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T2i. I edited it by turning down the contrast a tiny bit. It could have been a better picture if there were something else going on, on the screen.

Kendall O- Ocean

The title of my image is called “Ocean”. This is an image of a cap I bought at an antique shop. At the time of this photo the sun was shinning into my living room and decided to use this to my advantage to take the picture on a Monday afternoon. I took this photo with a Nikon Coolpix L820. The way I edited this photo is I increased the brilliance of the photo and decreased the highlights as well as increased everything in lights. I decreased the contrast of the color as to make it cooler and added a bit of vignette to make it seem as if you’re rising to the surface of the ocean. I feel that this could be better with bit more time if I had it. I wold have had more time to edit it as to not be rushed.

Ethan F - Tuesdays of the Past

The title of this image is Tuesdays of the Past. It was taken august 23 at the Galleria mall. I used my Kodak Easyshare 740. I did everything I could to increase the brightness of the image, then made it black and white and reduced noise. It could be better If I had a camera more suited to low light shooting. I had to use a half second exposure, resulting in a bit of motion blur. I particularly like this image, because I knew the restaurant that was there before it closed.

Clay K- Untitiled

This picture has no name. The picture was taken off my deck in my back yard. The photo was taken one day after school. I edited it by adding shadows, adding highlights, and changeling the hue of the bushes in the background. I could make it better by brightening the picture as a whole.

Savannah H- Cloudy Days

I title this picture “Cloudy Days” It was taken outside of my apartment a year ago and I took the picture with my iPhone 8 plus and I edited it into Portrait mode and set a somewhat dark filter and I feel like it could be better if it didn’t have the lines over the clouds.

This image is titled as my About Me 3 which was included in my about me assignment. This picture was taken of the sky just before a storm at my house. It was taken about three weeks ago.
