Johannes S-Police Car

This is an image of a police car in my neighborhood. I used the picture for the day and night assignment, and I think it is pretty cool. I like the lights, especially the ones of the police. All in all, I think this is one of the best photos I have taken all year.

Emily A.- Candle Handles

This is a picture I took of some candles on my back porch. I took this photo for the "Name with Pictures" assignment. I really liked the colors and I thought the picture looked cool. I cropped it to focus more on the handles rather than the buckets themselves. I also darkened the background so that the handles would stand out more. I also enhanced the color of the whole photograph. 

Gavin M- Wifi Drain

This is a picture of a drain in a water fountain at my old school.  I felt compelled to take this picture because it thought it looked like the wifi symbol

Alyssa Y-Cars

I took this photo around 9 o'clock at night on HWY 31. I set the shutter speed uber low to capture all of the cars flying by. 

Catherine S- Camping Cousin

I took this picture of my cousin when I was camping. I edited it by making it brighter and bringing out the yellow colors to make the flowers pop. 

Anissa L-Ross Bridge

 I took this photo at the Renaissance Ross Bridge hotel. The sun was shining on the building from a perfect angle so I decided to take a picture of the building. I increased the saturation of the sky and this increased the brightness of the color. It could have been improved by getting more of the sky within the picture.

Emily B- Leaving Tuscaloosa

I took this photo when I was leaving Tuscaloosa. My picture was originally edited on instagram, but I did more editing to it for the photo blog. I boosted the contrast, increased the exposure, and boosted the saturation. I'm really pleased with the way this picture turned out, but if I could change something about it to make it better I would add more of the darker bottom in the picture to make it more balanced.

Alex E- Day at Star Lake

This is part of a picture from Star Lake that I took last weekend. I really liked the feel of the picture and how it looked relaxing. I edited this picture by cropping, enhancing the details, adding a little levels, curves, brightness/contrast, saturation, and selective color on photoshop. 

Arisha L- A in a Tree

I took this picture outside of school during advisory. I was trying to find pictures of different objects that spelled out letters in my name and I saw this, took a picture of it, and edited it. I love how the edited version really brings out the A in the whole picture.

Amber A- Hope

I took this picture in my backyard during the night. The original image was in color, but I made everything black and white except for one flower. I enhanced and boosted the color. Additionally, I altered the curves to achieve the right shade for the flower. I could have improved this image by making the color of the flower more red than scarlet. 

Abbey W- Contradiction

This is a photo I took in New Orleans when my parents and I went on vacation. I like this photo because it just makes me laugh! I named it contradiction because it is one. I enhanced the photo, made it warmer, and boosted it!  I like how it looks old and rusty! It could be better if I would have taken the photo right in front of it instead of the side. 

Abhay T-Sunset

This is a photo that I took for the "About Me" assignment earlier this year. I increased the saturation, changed the exposure, and also used the retouch tool to clean blemishes here and there. I really like this picture although there isn't necessarily a specific subject, just the landscape as a whole. I really enjoy the colors in this photo as well.

Andrew L - Flower

This is a photo that I took outside of my church.  I saw that this was the only flower in a patch of ivy, so I zoomed in and got the best focus on it.  I edited the photo with by changing it to black and white but keeping color on the flower and cropping.  I used the photo for the Day and Night assignment and I shared this photo because I really like how the flower pops with color right in the center of the frame.

Amelia S- Ballerina

I took this photo for the "about me" project we did earlier this year. I took it while I was teaching class. I like this picture because you can tell she loves to dance. There was originally two other girls in the picture but I cropped it out to just have her. I edited it by turning it black and white. I think I could have done better on this picture by taking it the opposite direction and gotten her reflection in the mirror too.

Danae A - Apples

I took this picture for a photography competition in ninth grade. I brightened the picture, increased the saturation, blurred the background apples and made it selectively black-and-white in photoshop. 

Shelby C.-Miranda

This is  a picture of my friend Miranda. She is sitting in the street by her house. I used exposure and curves on this picture.

Steven Finley - Fashion & Abyss

 I entitle this picture Fashion & Abyss. Its what most would obviously consider a fashion picture b/c its a picture consisting of a model showing off clothes. Its edgy and dark a perfect print for an autumn clothing line. i turned up the contrast and played with the exposure to add some mystery and eeriness to it. the clinched fist adds a little bit of umpf, into the picture

Johannes S-Soccer Ball

This is a photo of my favorite soccer ball of all-time, which is a FIFA world cup ball from 2006. The ball is very important to me and I edited the picture by cropping and adding saturation and brightness.  I am a big soccer fan and I like to play it as well.

Taylor S- Empire State Building

This is a picture of The Empire State Building in the inside. I edited this picture by Boosting it up 4 times. I chose this picture because its a historical event. And also i thought the picture was gorgeous!!!

Mary L- Pork Chop

This is a picture of our great dane Pork Chop. We adopted him when he was one and we have loved him ever since. I took this downstairs in my basement for the about me project. 

Jordan M- Mad Max

This picture is of Max right when he was yawning. It makes it look like he is growling or about to bite me because of how perfect the timing was. To edit it I increased the sharpness and increased the shadows to make his fur more detailed and make his teeth stand out as much as possible.

Elijah E- Audi R8

The background on this picture is that this is the car my mom bought me when i was with her one week. It is an Audi R8, she bought it for me cause in her words "she wanted too", I am still ecstatic about it and i really don't know what to do about it

Alex D - B&W Hammock

This is my hammock in my back yard. I changed it to black and white and boosted it slightly. I really light this picture because i light how the sun shines on the rope part and also goes through to the ground.

i used the sepia color and white and black color in the side.

Katelyn H- Roll Tide

This picture is titled Roll Tide. I took this picture in my room one night. I was going through my closet and I noticed how much Alabama stuff I had laying around my room. I have much more than shown in the picture but here is what i found in my closet. I think this picture represent me well because in the fall time all I do is watch football and the only team I pull for is the Crimson tide. 

Shannon A- Still There

Madison V- Malibu Beach

This is a photo I took of Malibu Beach last year during spring break, while I was in California.  Malibu was one of my favorite places I went to because the atmosphere was so peaceful and the people were really friendly.  I enjoyed watching people surf and seeing the mansions on the hills in the distance.

Emily W. - Time Clock

I took this picture in my house in the parlor. It's a close up of this really old clock we've had. I bumped up the sharpness, and added some definition, contrast, and saturation. 

Ashley P- Feeder

No statement submitted.

Katie W- Lay Lake Sunset

This picture is called "Lay Lake Sunset". I took this a few weeks ago when I went to my grandparent's house at Lay Lake. I took this picture with my iPhone, and I think that if I took this picture with my Cannon T3 the picture would have had much better quality. I edited this picture by boosting the color slightly and adding a little bit of contrast.

This is my cat Larry. I took this picture at my house, after-school.I like this photo because of the sharpness of the picture.

Emily Bertolino- Tree in My backyard

This picture is of a tree in my backyard. I took it in the winter last year when I got home from school one day! When I edited my photo I added a lot of saturation, I contrasted it, and highlighted it. I love all of the colors in it and I am very happy with the way it turned out!

Josh V- My Birthday Cake

 This is an image of my birthday cake. I took it while celebrating my 17th birthday with my family and friends at my house. I edited the image by enhancing it and making vignette 2. I also gave the picture a lot of definition and some highlights, shadows, and de-noise.

Jessica P- Frog

This picture was taken at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Valley Grande, AL.  My brother and I had flipped over an old canoe and found it. I like the way this picture focuses on the frog's face and shows depth of field.

Joerdan K- VANS

VANS was taken in my room when the sun was going down one day. I didn't have to do much editing to it though the flash made it turn out how i wanted it to. I kinda cropped it and brightened it just a little bit more to bring out the detailing of the leopard print on the shoe canvas. 

Landry T- Bucs

This Picture is of a bucs sticker that is on my fridge at home. I took this picture before school one day. I added additional boost and darkend it a little.

 It was taken in the woods on a cloudy day i uesd an application on my phone called Retro Camera.

Anissa L- Rainshower Journey

This picture is a picture I took going to my grandmother's house in Mississippi. This is one of the main roads we always take to get there. I used the cool setting on iPhoto to edit this picture and used the edge blur. This picture could have been better if I didn't have so much camera shake, but the car was moving so I think that's what caused it. I also like how the clouds look and the ground because I'm not used to seeing it rainy around that area.

Alexis M- Wilson Wave

I edited with instagram with the "Brannan" effect and blurred everything around the basketball. This was taken at the Hoover YMCA and i like this picture because I took this after i was done working out and "Ball is Life".

I am really glad how this picture turned out.

Danny J- After Game

This picture was taken after a game against USC on September 9th at the Riverchase soccer complex. To edit it, I boosted the green, made the picture much colder, and I increased the saturation because the original picture was too bright and the colors ran together. I boosted the green so the trees look orange instead of orange-brown because of the sun. 

Ryan T- Rave Motion Pictures

This picture is Rave Motion Pictures on Patton Creek.  This picture was taken after a rain storm in the afternoon.  I used cooler effect and lighten function.  My objective for this picture is to make it really unique like it was almost night time.
