Braden K - Bloom

 The title is “Bloom” for the blooming flowers. It was taken in my front yard after I got home from school. It was taken with my Nikon D70. I edited it by increasing the vibrance, shadows, and texture. I think it could be better if I got closer for more detail.

Reagan H- Flower Shrub

I titled this image “Flower Shrub” because I think it is a Red Buckeye shrub so I thought the name was fit for the photo. I took this on April 7th on the nature walk that we look in class. I look it on my phone and I edited it by cropping around the sides, turning the brilliance and exposure up, and turning down th shadows and brightness. I think I could have made the flower more of the focus by trying to blur out some of the background and changing some of the brightness settings. 
 

Jayda S- Pinky

The title of this image is “Pinky”. It was taken at the Birmingham Zoo on April 16th. It was taken with an iPhone 17. I edited by sharpening the legs of the flamingo and pond and using the filters to make it more lively. Also I upped the exposure and saturation. I think it could be better if I got a closer shot. This zoo trip was so much fun! 

Cassidy D- Down The Rabbit Hole

The name of this image is “Down The Rabbit Hole”. For this, I upped the brightness and contrast. Then, I removed little blemishes without disturbing the overall subject

Jack S- Mountain Sepia

 This image is titled “Mountain Sepia”. It was taken in Late October of 2025 when me and my buddies went up to Camp near Pigeon Forge,TN. It was taken with my SonyA6000. I edited it by adding the framing and the sepia filter ontop of it. I think it could be better by having a more focused subject.

Renea M- 2016 Flower

 The title for this image is 2016 Flower. Taken April 9th or 10th during our class nature walk, I absolutely forgot what exact day that was but it had to be one of those days. It was taken with my camera but not my phone camera. I edited by using the Nik Verez effect on photoshop and increased the clarity and dehaze a bit, brightness decreased some, and contrast increased just a little to give it the vibes I want it to be. It could have been better with the camera staying still and not having that blurriness to it. 

Hazel A- Best Friends Trip

 The title of this image is “Best Friends Trip.” It was taken in Orlando,Florida in the afternoon, waiting in a long line for a newly opened ride. It was taken with my smaller digital camera, a SONY DSC-W530. I edited the following image by doing adjustments with lighting,color,selective color, vivid warm filter and cleaning up by retouching to take blemishes off. If i could make it better i would continue doing more retouches and possibly do something with the background although I like this image in how it is. Another thing to keep in mind this was a good memory of a trip i enjoyed very much as we were able to do many things and go on the rollercoasters and that line was really long stayed there for around 2-3 hours me and another group of friends as we had to figure out what to do to make the time go quicker and at the end the picture that was taken of me and the others was a very funny enjoyable picture as we still laugh about it but worth it for our reactions.

Reginald L- Kaleidoscope.

 This picture was taken 2 months ago at school. And how I edited was first cropped a section of the picture then I copied it the picture 3 times after that I rearranged the pictures to make it look like an illusion. And lastly I gave it some color and added a grain filter. I think the overall outcome made the picture look like a post card.

Sarah J - Sleepless

 This photo is titled “Sleepless”, and I took it on the night of March 19 in New York City on the HHS Theater trip. It was taken on my iPhone XR and I edited it by using the vivid filter in the photos app. I could have made it better if I had a different angle or defined the buildings more, but overall I like it.

Josiah G- Untitled

Had taken it at my house 4 weeks. It was taken with my phone cameras. I did not put any edits into. It would have been better if I actually had any edits. No other information. 

Clay G- Creek

 Where and when it was taken- On our walk on the trail. What it was taken with- my phone. How you edited it. brightness. How it could be better- more editing.

Kavi H- Close Up Photo

The name of this photo is “Close Up Photo”. I named it this because it was taken during one of the assignments where a close up picture was needed. I took it with my personal camera and I edited it by changing the coloring and shading.

Angel H- Building

 The title of this image is called “Building.” I forgot where this image was taken, although it was near the galleria, it was taken like 3-4 days before the architecture assignment was due. To be honest, I didn’t bother to edit it much, the only thing I really did was lower the brightness and extend the contrast a bit more. It could have been better if I actually tried to edit it but that didn’t happen. 

Tully S - Sunset Trees

 The title of the image is Sunset Trees. It was taken the week before spring break. I took this photo with my EOS 2000D. I didn't really edit it at all due to how good i think it came out. I don't really know how I could make it better.

Jack S- Birmingham Skyline

 This image is titled Birmingham Skyline. It was taken over Birmingham on Feburary 20th during one of my flight lessons. It was taken with my Iphone16. I edited it by removing the planes wing and window frame to make the image more clear. It could have been better if I took it at sunset or had more interesting lighting instead of just being at mid-day.

Anna R- Pounce

 The name of this photograph is “Pounce”. I took “Pounce” with my Eos 80D Canon in Savannah, GA at Pounce Cat Cafe. I edited the picture by increasing the brilliance and making the color slightly more warm. I believe the picture could have been better if the wooden counter in the back was gone. 

Anastasiia O- Home

I named this picture “Home,” because this is a picture of my house. I took it with my Iphone 15 pro max, when it was already dark outside. I removed some things with photoshop, like a bag of concrete that was on the ground, ruining the picture, made the light brighter, and then added a filter to it. Overall I think I did pretty good. 
 

Wrilen W- Architecture 3

 This photo was taken near Wald Park on Hwy 31 in Vestavia Hills, during the night time. This photo was taken with a Kodak Pixpro AZ528 camera. I edited it by turning up the structure and highlighting adjustments in photoshop to sharpen the photo and add more light to the background. I don’t have any opinion on how this could have turned out better and I think it looks good overall. 

Maddie M - Music Panorama

 The title of my image is “Music Panorama”. It was taken on March 17th, 2026 with my Canon EOS. The image is a total of 60 photos combined to make one. I edited it in photoshop by using the Photomerge option and not blending them. Then a warped the photo to make it fit in the area and finally adjusted the brightness. It could be better if I took a few more photos for the top row so the very top of the building wouldn’t be cut off. 

Braden K - Blue & Gold Mall

The title is “Blue and Gold Mall” and It was taken in Franklin in the “Factory at Franklin”. It was taken with my Nikon D70 and I edited by adding a gradient for two colors, increasing the brightness and saturation, and changing the hue of the chairs. I think it could be better if I removed those people in the background. 

Cassidy D- Lila

The title is Lila. It was taken in my room in the summer with my iPhone. I didn’t edit it too much since I liked how it turned out. I could have backed up a little bit.

Renea M- School

 The title of this photo is “School” because I really did not know what else to title it, and it was just a photo while trying to get a panorama. It was taken at school during 3rd period, and the date taken is March 16th, 2026. Taken with the class camera we have for Photography which I have no clue on what kind of camera it is. I edited it by increasing the contrast, lowering the brightness, exposure settings as well, and removing some of the objects in the picture. Could be better by the editing being better and really experimenting with the effects, and filters in the photoshop application. 

Kendal R - Snow Day

 This Image is called “Snow Day” and it was taken on my Canon EOS Rebel T7. I took this picture on March 16th, at Hoover High School. I made some lighting changes and I made the snow more visible. The colors could be a bit brighter but overall, I mess with this shot. 

Aubrey M- Color Run

 The title of this photo is Color Run, it was taken last year after Color Run, with my Nikon camera. I added a motion blur and turned down the exposure, dehaze, and turned up the contrast. I don't know how it could be better so if anybody has any suggestions let me know. 

Lilly S- Sunset Lake

 The title of this image is Sunset Lake. It was taken at Star Lake on January 30 with my IPhone. I edited it by slightly turning up the exposure, brilliance, contrast, shadows, black point, and some color properties. Also by turning down the overall brightness. I think it could be better if I took the picture a little more to the left, so more of the clouds were captured in the frame.

Reese J- Night Sky

The title of this image is called Night Sky, it was taken in my backyard on march 3, 2026 just hours before the blood moon. It was taken with my olympius 0d-e. It was not edited because the way the camera caught the moon with the clouds already looks unreal in my opinion. It maybe could be better if it was edited a little but not to much.

Ava J - Glow

 I named this image ‘Glow’. I took this picture at nighttime in downtown Birmingham with my iPhone. I edited it by decreasing the light and increasing the color. My editing was to make sure the lighting in the picture was highlighted, for extra effect. It could’ve been better if I had stood at a different view or perspective to take the photo, but I pretty much like everything else

Susan D - Blue

I named this image Blue, I figured it fit the theme and both sky and water is stereotypically blue. It was taken from a window of a hotel when I was traveling, at the time I didn't have my camera so i utilize my phone camera. I edited this by adding dehaze, using the dodge brush, and some color and saturation changes. I think I could have made it better by adding a color filter but after seeing the color I got from dehaze and clarity I didn’t feel the need to do that. 

Jayda S- Chi Town

 The title of the image is “Chi Town” and it was taken in Chicago, Illinois on March 13th, 2025. It was taken with an iPhone 15 pro. I edited it by turning up the contrast, texture, clarity and sharpening the image. I think I could be better if I go closer to the buildings so you can see how big and tall they really are. I loved this trip. It was so fun and freeing. Chicago is one of the best cities. 

Reagan H- Legos

 This image is titled “Legos” since it’s a picture of some of the legos sets I have in my room. I took it on my old phone in my room on November 4, 2025. I edited it by cropping out some of the sides and turning the brightness down some so that the keytar is the main part of this picture since it’s the most colorful thing in this picture. 

Tucker C- Detail

 This is one of the photos I took for the architectural assignment. I took this photo near a strip mall by my house with my Nikon D-40 camera. I didn't do much editing-wise, just added some contrast and brightness to reveal the windows and some cropping. I believe this photo turned out okay. I chose this photo mostly because of the cool stains on the wall and the design of the windows. Overall, I think it's a decent photo, but I would rather like if I took a wider image to include more of the wall and to make the window more on the left side of the photo 

Denver C- Hideout

 The title of this picture is Hideout. I took this photo in downtown Birmingham on March 21st. I took it with my Nikon D3000. I edited it by making it more vibrant and a little less bright. It would be better if I got the bird more in focus.

Angel B - Love at First Sight

 This photo is named, “Love at first sight.” It was taken during January around 4:40 on a Saturday. It was taken with my iPhone 16. I edited it by lowering the exposure so the sunlight could be more visible through the trees. It could’ve been a lot better if I cropped it or even had a different angle where the sun could be more flat out visible.

Isabelle G - New York State of Mind

 The title of this image is New York State of Mind. This was taken December 28, 2025 on the Brooklyn Bridge. It was taken with my iPhone 17 Pro. I edited it by increasing the lightning and sharpening the image. It could be better if maybe it was at a slightly lower angle.

Aime A- Believe

I named this photo “ Believe”. I took this photo when I went to the middle of downtown on March 3rd. I took this photo with my Canon camera and I edited it by cropping the image, by making the lights and colors pop more by bringing the highlights brighter. I think I could have made it better if I removed the car in the corner.
