Katie N- Silhouette

I call this picture Silhouette. I took this last year when I was coming home from Tuscaloosa. It was taken with my iPhone 8+. I edited it by strengthening the contrast and saturation. I don’t really know how it could be better.

Hillary A.- Roses Are Red

 This is not a rose but thats the first thing that came up in my head. I forget when I took this but I’m glad I did because it looks cool. I edited this using the Nik collection. Under the Nik Collection, I used the color Efex Pro. ye

Hayden M - Race Car

This is a picture of my friends (George Sougeron) dads racing car. It is a Porsche CarreraS not sure what year. It is cropped but not edited in any other way.

Daniel T- Sunday Morning

This image is called Sunday Morning. I took it before church. It was taken with a canon rebel. I edited it by removing some blemishes from the wall and adjusting the lighting. I think it would have been better if the cars behind the subject weren’t so distracting.

Katie H- Sunset on the Streets

The title of this photo is called Sunset on the Streets. It was taken from inside my car while I was on the way home one day; coming home on the highway. This was taken around September 17th. This was taken with my camera on my iPhone 7. I edited it but increasing saturation to see the sunset colors and by adding focus to the photo to make it sharper. It could be better if the photo was clearer. It is a little blurry if you look at the trees. I thought the colors of the photo turned out really pretty and overall is a decent photograph of the sunset one evening.Katie

Jennifer L- Untitled

My picture has no title but it was taken around a month ago here at the school in the courtyard and I took it with my Canon T5 Camera. I edited the picture by adding the filter Transfer, Increasing the contrast not by much, Increasing the shadows and lowering the highlights, and also brightening it a little bit. This picture could be better if the blu in the sky had more details with how I edited it or maybe the colors of the flag could be more brighter.

Morgan H - Party

This photo is entitled ‘party’ because I had taken it at my birthday party this year. I had taken it at my house during nighttime. I had taken it with my digital camera, I cannot remember what the name of it is but it is from Nikon. I had turned on the shutter and put it to 4.0. I edited it by lowering the brightness and that was it. I think it could be better if my camera was on a tripod.

Hannah R - Night Motion

I took this picture for the day and night assignment. I took it at night and used glow sticks as a light source. I shook the camera to try to create motion in the picture. When editing, I increased the saturation and contrast to make the glow sticks pop a little more. I like the results of this photo.

Nicholas L. - Spirit Realm

This picture is of my pool.  I did the picture without the filters when the class was doing the kaleidoscope demo.  I thought that it looked interesting and Mister Rigsby said that we could add a filter or something to it so I used the Nik collection to make it into a sort of world of warcraft rendition of the spirit realm.

Madalyn M- Flower

The title of this picture is Flower. I took it with my phone. I turned the Brilliance, Exposure,  Highlights, Shadows, Brightness, black point, and the cast down. I turned the contrast, saturation, and contrast up. It could be better if the color was smoother.

Skylar J- The Leaf

The title of this picture is “The Leaf”. This was taken in my driveway two days ago. I took this with my iPhone 7 camera. I edited it using Silver Efex Pro in the Nik Collection. It could be better if it wasn’t blurry at the top of the leaf.

Emily S- Untitled

This picture is untitled. This picture was taken this past summer at Santa Rosa/Destin Beach in Florida on 30A. This picture was taken with my Nikon d3400. I edited this picture by brighten it to make the sand a little whiter and the water a little bluer. I also sharpened it a little so you could see everything clearer. I think I could have taken a little more time to edit this picture. But I really enjoyed this picture and it shows what I love about the beach.

Rachel G - Diamond Color Efex Pro

The title of this image is “Diamond Color Efex Pro.” This was taken in September in my room. It was taken with my Canon EOS Rebel T6i. I edited the photo by using the Graduated User Defined filter and I chose the color as a magenta. I also brought the vertical shift in colors down a little so the diamond wasn’t magenta. The photo could be better if the scratches on the diamond weren’t as visible. But overall, I liked the way that the light reflected off of the diamond in the picture.

Aundrea A. - Zig-Zag

The title of this picture is Zig-Zag. This picture was taken at the back of my house. I took this picture with my NIKON COOLPIX B500. I edited it this picture by cropping it and then changing the brightness and contrast. I think the picture could be better if I had been able to get the lights all turned the right way so you can see all of the colors all of the time and not just part of the time. This picture took a while to figure out how to make the lights look like they do.

Grace R- Fall Colors

This picture is called “Fall Colors.” It was taken with my phone camera in Norcross, Georgia on November 2. It was an overcast, chilly, and very fall day. I used the Color Efex Pro 4 NIK filter on Photoshop to edit it. I made the colors warmer and brighter. I think it could be better if I had used a real camera instead of my phone because it would have been much better quality. Overall, I really like this picture.

Chris R - Background

I called this Background because it has no subject. I took this photo at Aldridge gardens with my Canon Eos Rebel 1i. I feel like the image could be sharper, but I’m still quite happy with it.

Imani P- Bloom

I named this photo “Bloom” because it’s the first ever photo I’ve edited and taken for this class so it represents my blossoming as a photographer. Also it’s a flower so that seemed like the obvious choice. This picture was taken outside my apartment building on 10/17/18. I took the picture on a Samsung Galaxy J3. The phone’s camera quality is not that good so I chose to make the picture black and white and only revealed the original color of the flower underneath. I darkened the blues and greens in the picture to make the flower stand out more. It could of been more creative, I feel like it’s a little basic as is, but I don’t know what to do with it. Also, I should of smoothed out the background more.

Jacob D - Rigsby at Work

This image is titled “Rigsby at Work” and it features Mr. Rigsby working at a computer. It was taken in class on October 3, 2018 with my Nikon Coolpix S3700. I edited it by putting on a black and white filter and then played around with lighting, contrast, and colors. I think it could be better if it was a bit sharper and less blurred in certain areas. Other than that I love the photo as it is. I did also take it when he was paying attention and distracted with helping a student. It’s a candid shot.

Faye M- Flower Girl

The title of my selected image is “Flower Girl” because the subject is a girl holding sunflowers in her hands. It was taken around November 3rd and it was taken in my sister’s room, but the girl in the picture isn’t my sister. It was taken with my phone because I didn’t have my camera with me, the picture was a kind of impromptu thing. I edited it by increasing the saturation and decreasing the light while also trying to sharpen the image just a little. I wish the image wasn’t as grainy, but I didn’t expect very good quality from my phone camera. Even though I think it could be better, I think the girl’s smile is a good moment that I captured.

Erika P- Seaside

This picture is called “Seaside.” I chose this title because I was at Seaside when I took it. I took it with my iPhone 7 two summers ago. I increased the saturation a little bit but that’s all I did. I think it could be better if the water didn’t look so dark.

Deebaj F- Untitled

This image doesn’t have a titile, but it was taken two month ago when I was going to Atlanta. I take this photo with my Camera, Canon EOS Rebel T6. I edit this photo on the photoshop and Nick collection (increase darkness and bright the colors) to make the photo more better. I like how its turned out in the end.

Anna Claire H -Reflection

 Elected a photo I call reflection. I took this photo at railroad park about a month ago. It was taken with my cannon Eos rebel xs. I think it could be better if the people were to in the background. I love hoe the sun is refecting onto the cloud.

Natalie M - Untitled

This image doesn’t have a title. It was taken a few weeks ago at Bluff Park Elementary School. It was taken with my friend’s iPhone 6s. I didn’t edit it because I liked how it already looks and I didn’t feel like it really needed editing. It could probably be better if I tried to edit it.

Alyshan A - Thinking of a Name

I do not have a name for this picture. I took this picture of my friend at the hoover met during the summer. To edit it, I got rid of a bit of color to make it more low-key. I also increased the black point just a little, and I got ride of a little exposure. I wanted to give it a more mysterious look. To make it better, I would control the exposure more; I do not think I did a good job of doing that.

Tyler W- Airfield

This picture is titled “Airfield”. It was taken with a nikon d90 at Shelby county airport about a month ago. Edited this picture using Color Efex pro and analog Efex pro. This picture could have been better if the weather was better, I had a different lens, and if there were more planes in frame.

Anna S- Colors

I call this picture, “Colors.” I took it at the lake while I was watching the sunset. I took it with my go-pro. I edited it by enhancing it, turning up the contrast, and intensifying the blue tones. It could be better if there was not as many ripples in the water and it was more clear. I love the sky. The colors are beautiful. It is really important to me to take in the looks of the sky because you will never see the same looks of it again.

Megan C - Fierce Thinking

   I named this image “Fierce Thinking” mostly because the bob cat to me looks like it’s in a deep thought but has a serious look on the face. I took this in the summer at the Birmingham Zoo with my Nikon D3400 camera. I edited this image in photoshop using the Bi-Color Used Defined effect and by lowering the contrast a little on the effect. I think the image could be better if some parts of the body weren’t as faded, but overall I’m happy with the final look.

Alyssa C- Jack Skellington

This image is called Jack Skellington. I took this photo a couple days before Halloween after I had just finished craving my pumpkin. I decreased the highlights and increased the shadows this way the light in the pumpkin would really glow. I wish that the other pumpkin to the left had more color to it when I had edited this picture.

Dontreal L- Old York

The title of my photo is Old York because obviously it has a old look to it. I was in New York when I took it; around Manhattan. I took it was a small Sony camera. I put a old filter on it with the Nik collection and brighten it up with curves in photoshop. I could’ve made it better by taking a cleaner picture to maximize results

Ainsley M- Wind Chimes

This picture is titled “Wind Chimes”. This was taken of a wind chime in my backyard at the beginning of September and was taken with a Sony digital camera. I edited it by increasing the brightness and contrast so there was more focus on the wind chime. I think it could be better if the sunlight was distributed equally throughout the chime so there weren’t parts of it that were dark.

Ethan D- My Basketball Goal

The title of this photo is My Basketball Goal. I took it a couple weeks ago outside my house. It was taken with my Sony camera. I just changed the color of this photo. I wish I could’ve filter the picture a little more. The goal in the picture is my goal.

Devon H- Controller

This image is called controller.It was taken at home I don’t remember the day.It was taken with my iPhone. I just lowered the curves.It could be better if my controller was clean.

Alyshan A - The White Flower Thing

The name of this photo is “The White Flower Thing.” I named it this because it is a white flower; however, I am not sure what type it is, so I just mention it as “thing”. This was taken a couple weeks ago in my front yard. I took this picture with the Sony New 5 camera. To edit the picture, I inscrease the contrast and significantly increased the definition. I wanted to do what I could to give the sharpest image of the flower. This could be better by touching up on the color aspect of the picture. I have no other information to say about my image.

Tyler W- Belle over Bama

This Picture is titled “Belle over ‘Bama”. I chose this title because my car’s name is Belle and I took this picture overlooking Alabama. I named my car Belle because it means “the prettiest at a certain event”. I took this picture on my Nikon D90. This picture could have been better if the weather had cooperated and gave me more sun instead of clouds and if I had a better angle. I edited this picture by darkening it and adding more color.

Trevion C. - Saturday Morning

The title of this image is “Saturday Morning.” This image was taken on the access road near Hoover High School on a Saturday morning. For this image, I reduced the saturation and decreased the brightness. This image could’ve been by exposing more details on the image.

Rachel G - Spiderweb Daytime

The title of this image is “Spiderweb Daytime.” It was taken on my back porch on a day in September with my Canon EOS Rebel T6i. I edited the photo by blurring out the background a little, sharpening the spiderweb, and increasing the white tones to blue and the brown tones to more orange. I also added some grain to the photo and made the temperature more warm. It could be better if there wasn’t a piece of pine straw stuck in the spiderweb. Even though this picture was taken in September, it kind of reminds me of the beginning of fall and the changing of the seasons.

Morgan H - Bibby

This picture is of my cat, Bibby, from when I first got her. She was so tiny and could basically fit into my palms. She would cuddle with me and sleep on my pillows when I wasn’t there. This picture is of Bibby laying on top of my pillows. I took this picture with my iPhone and edited it by using square crop and added more colors and lightened it and put higher exposure. I think it could be better if it was centered.

Katie N- Afternoons at Tip Top

The title of the picture is, “Afternoons at Tip Top.” It was taken a tip tip a few weeks ago when I went there with my friends to eat a sunset dinner. I took this picture with my Canon camera. I edited it by putting a blue tent on it to give it a purple look.I think I could’ve made it better if I had focused the camera better.

Katie H- Guardian Angel

The title of this photo is “Guardian Angel.” This photo was taken in my house one night as I was about to go to bed. It was taken on my iPhone 7 because I just snapped the pic with my phone as I was walking by. I just edited it by toning down the brightness a little bit and sharpening the photo. It could be a little better if the shadow from the shovel was not present.

Hillary A- Hoover Bucs

This picture is of the Buccaneer Stadium at Hoover High School. My family and I were watching my brother play football, he’s a freshman, and I decided to bring the camera just incase anything cool happened. I took other several pictures of my brother playing, but I liked this one. I edited this picture in photoshop. I just enhanced the sky a little.

Kelsey M- Pool

This photo is called “Shadow”. I took this photo last summer at my cousins house. I really like this photo because its calming to me and relaxing. What I did to the photo was enhance the photo put a filter on it, brought down the color, and brought up the lighting.

Daniel T- Birdhouse

The title of this image is birdhouse. I took in in the night in my backyard. I took it with a canon rebel. I edited it by turning up the visual noise. I like how it turned out.

Madalyn M- Avondale Park

The title of this picture is Avondale Park. I took it at Avondale Park a year ago. I feel okay about it I would like it to be cleaner. I edited it by turning the brilliance and contrast up and the highlights, shadows, black points down. Then I turned the color, saturation, contrast up and the cast down.

Hannah R- Untitled

I don’t have a name for this and I took this picture while one of my friends was driving. I took this back when we were doing our about me project. While editing, I added more saturation and contrast. I also added more of a warm tone to the image. I like how this turned out, but I could have tried to get a better angle of the sky.

Aundrea A. - GT

The title of this image is GT. This picture was taken of a friends Mustang GT. It was taken with my Nikon COOLPIX B500. I edited this picture by cropping it, changing the filter to Chrome, boosting the brilliance, shadows, contrast and black point, I decreased highlights and brightness. I also made the fall off greater and made the radius bigger, I finally used the retouch tool to take away some of the darker spots on the car. I think the Picture could be better by being able to get the rust out of the picture.

Jacob D - Space in My Backyard

The title of my image is “Space is in my backyard.” I used a Nikon Coolpix S700 in my backyard on September 17, 2018.The photo is of part of my backyard. It shows the lower back porch, the path in my yard, and some trees. This was during the Night & Day assignment and I thought about taking a photo of my backyard. Which I did with a little bit of interesting editing to it. I never thought this was one I would show for photography. This was more of a personal piece. This photo represents the weird part of me. Which is actually one of my more defining characteristics. I have a large fascination with space but am afraid of going to space since we know so little. I feel safer at home. So why not combine the two? And that is what I set out to do. A lot of editing went in to this image to make it look the way it does. I did some cropping and editing with a lot of the small details like sharpness, brightness, contrast, etc. A lot of small little details like I said. Though the most interesting feature and my favorite part is the large contrast in color in the more nature part of the image. I used color saturation, hue, and vibrance a lot here. I wanted it to seem other worldly. Like space had invaded my backyard. Which is the effect I got. If I was going to edit it more than I would go through and add more details with space features. Like a black skyline in the background with stars. But the lighting come in to effect and my skills aren’t good enough for that. Someday though, I will be able to do that.

Yovani T- Georgetown Park

It was taken in Hoover about a month ago. It was taken with an iPhone 8 plus. I did editing to the color and contrast of the picture. It could be better in my opinion if I could’ve made it a little brighter.

Chris R - Confused Goose

I took this photo when I saw it watching me. I think this photo represents the look on your face when a stranger walks up to you for no apparent reason, but show no malicious intent. I was happy with how it turned out.

Garrett H- Cross At Day

It was taken at my house off of the back deck. It was taken with my Canon dslr. What I did to edit was fix a little of the paint on the cross and I enhanced a lot of the colors in the image. I really like this image because my religion is a really big thing for me.

Natalie M - Untitled (Bluff Park)

This was taken at Blue Park Elementary School one weekend recently. It was taken with my friends iPhone because my phone died while we were there taking pictures. I did not edit this photo because I liked the way it is better than when I tried to edit it. It could be better if I knew what I was doing and how to make it look good by editing it.
