CameronY - Rikka

This image is called Rikka.  I took it at night with my Nikon D50.  The subject of the photo is my anime figure in front of my plasma ball while my camera’s shutter speed was super low.  I edited it by turning shadows down and black point up to give it a super dark background.  I also edited it in photoshop to give it it’s rainbow color.  I took this image for the About Me Project and decided to edit it a bit for the exam.  Honestly very surprised with what I created and I’m very proud of this image.  I feel like it could be a small bit better by not being as fuzzy but I don’t think that takes too much from it.  Overall very happy with this photo.

Antonio K- K

The color is very original. I like the how pieces of light come into the image and contrast from the dark shadow. It gives the image more details.

Kameron M - Shattered Backboard

I call this photo “Shattered Backboard” because thats the name of the shoe featured, it was taken in a hotel room in Nashville with my Canon T7 Rebel. I edited the photo by changing the color and tone and converting to an HDR image. I think it could be better if I lowered the exposure and gamma.

Bryson S - Hubble

This picture is of a desk ornament plasma ball I’ve had for years. To take the picture, I slowed the shutter speed down to 30 seconds, to capture the streams of light in different positions. It created a really cool galaxy looking effect, almost like a Hubble Telescope picture. To edit the picture, I made a rainbow gradient layer and applied it as a color mask. I was really happy with how it came out, and think the bright colors serve to stand out well against the dark background.

Sydney R- Beauty and the Beast

“Beauty and the Beast” shows my two dogs, Chester and Bella. I took this photo at home on my balcony. My sister held a treat in her hand while I took the photo to get him to look towards the lens. To edit I used the Adjustment settings. I increased the brilliance, the exposure, shadows, brightness and contrast, andI also decreased the highlights. I believe that this picture could’ve been improved by having both dogs looking towards the camera lens.

Nema H- Juicy Couture Perfume

The title of the selected image is called Juicy Couture Perfume. It was taken on September 24, 2019 on the dining table. This photo was taken with my Canon camera and I like how it turned out with the dark background. For editing, I used Photoshop and used the tools in it like hue and saturation for the bow color to pop out more, used brightness and contrast to darken the background of the wall and lastly exposure. This picture could be better if I didn’t brighten the design on the perfume bottle which made it look white and not showing well. Also, the left side of it is too darken compare to the other side. Overall, I am happy with the results.

Kara A.- Toby and Lucy

The title of this image is Toby and Lucy. This image was taken at my moms house. It was taken in the backyard.It was taken with my Nixon Coolpix A10. I edited this image to focus more on the dogs. I added a small filter to add more light. This picture could have been focused more. I could have added a better filter. This is a picture of my dog toby and his puppy Lucy. They are very attached to each other and love to play together.

Kaleb E- Mr Mantis

The title of this photo is called Mr Mantis. I took this on my back porch on a cool October morning. It was taken with my rebel t6. I only enhanced it.  It could be better if I did some cropping and change the location.

Sydney R - Bella (Again)

This picture is called Bella (Again). For this picture I took it in my living room in front of a window that had a lot of light shining through. It was taken with my FinePix S2980 camera. For editing I turned the picture black and white, made a color layer to replace the color of her eyes, used Sharpener Pro 3, contrast, and a brightness layer. I don’t think this photo could be any better, I love it already as it is. By the way, it took forever to get her to lay down and stay in a spot where I could take a good shot.

Kaitlyn R- The Feature

This image is called “The Feature” and I took this image in the living on October 1, 2019. I used a Canon camera to take this image. I used photoshop to edit this image, and I had made the lighting of the image a little darker to bring out the light of the Christmas lights, and lastly I change the color tone of the white to be a light brown color. It could be better If I focus more on the center of the cards, so you can see the words on the cards. The reason why I name this image the feature is because I used tarot cards in the picture and tarot cards either express something about who you are ,or things that might happen in the feature.

Jerusha K- "2241"

This picture is called “2241” creative right. Anyway this picture was taken right outside my house one cloudy morning before school in early October. I took this picture with a iPhone 7. I edited this picture by making it black and white to make the picture look more dramatic and more prominent; I also increased the exposer and brilliance and I also decreased the saturation and contrast. These changes made the picture look more focused and it brought in some contrast. If were to make these picture better I would fix the balance it looks a little lopsided.

Kevin T - The Light

The title of this image is called “The Light”. This was taken outside of my house on October 2nd.  I took this with my cybershop camera. I edited this by darkening the outside and brightening the light behind the clouds. This could be better if their was more color to it.

Madeline. P- Nicole

This photo was taken In the court yard of Hoover High School. Her name is Nicole and she is from Colombia. The reason I took this picture in school was because it was Hispanic Heritage Month. To edit this photo I use a little bit of brilliance and a little bit of contrast. Also gave I put a little bit of color intensity.

Sophia C- Ant's view

This picture is called Ant’s View. This picture was taken in my backyard for the night and day assignment. I edited by messing with the saturation and vibrance, also with the levels and curves. I really like this photo and how the sun comes in the image.

Jamari J- Dream BMW

The title is Dream BMW. It was taken at my grandmothers house September 24. It was taken with my iPhone 6s plus. I used shadow and blur. And I could have used less filters.

Emma H- Bella Boo

This was taken in my room next to my bed on Wednesday 23, 2019. This was taken with my phone. I edited it by brighting the color in the collar and her eyes because it looks like she was shocked. The colors stand out more in the background as well. I also cropped it drown to be closer to her face. It could be better by her face being a little down more ad a little less of my messy room. I was sick this day so I was home alone with the puppy and my cat and her. Molly was laying on my chest and my cat was somewhere napping and all Bella wanted was to go outside but I couldn’t get up and move because of Molly the sleeping puppy so she wasn’t happy when I told her that.

Sade' W- Angel

This image I took of a statue in front of my house. I took this picture with a Canon T6. I edited this image my darkening the shadows and I played around with the levels, contrast, and highlights through photoshop. I love this picture because of the intensity in the image and the contrast between light and dark colors.

Jonathan S. - Jeep

This is a picture called Jeep. I took this picture in a parking lot. I edited this picture by brightening it a little and then lowering the shadows. This picture could’ve been better if I were to add a little bit of light on the other side of the car.

Reagan M- Streetlight

The title of this photo is “Streetlight”. This photo was taken at my house, on September, 24th, one night after school. It was taken with my Dad’s Canon EOS Rebel T5i. I edited this picture by darkening the background and adding a red filter over the picture to increase the color of the brick. I think this picture could be better if the actual light was a little clearer. I think this picture turned out really good!!

Cam M - Bessemer City Limits

The title of this picture is “Bessemer City Limits” This was taken in Bessemer, Alabama. During the day on August 24, 2019. I took this picture with my Canon Rebel T6. I edited it by adding a sun flare in photoshop, and adding some saturation. I think it could be better if the sun flare was real.

Caleb S- My Style

              I picked this photo because I liked the angle I took it at and the quality of the photo. It represents my style. I made the photo black and white and increased the definition. I also gave it a light vignette. I took this with my Nikon D3400. I took this pho on my back porch in the evening. This photo could be improved with more light exposure.

Jaiya D- Spooky Season

This picture was taken at a festival in October in Georgia. It was taken with my Canon Eos T7i. I edited by increasing the saturation and contrast a little in order to add more depth to the picture. It could be better if I blurred the background and increased the saturation a little more in order to enhance the colors a little bit more.

Madelyn S- Ren

The picture shown was taken in the court yard on a partly cloudy day, perfect lighting for what she was wearing. It was taken with a canon rebel T6. I increased the brightness and altered the contrast just a tad bit. Maybe have a different type of lighting if I could ever retake it.

Jacob V- Flowers

This image was taken earlier this year in my front yard. Taken with my Nikon D70s, I edited this photo with desaturation and hue changes. I used the 3 way division because the sudden change seemed cool to me.

Taha M- Ant

The tile of this picture is “Ant”. It was taken inferno of my house before sunset. I took it using my Nikon camera. I edited it using the chrome filter, sharpness, and hue/saturation to adjust the picture. It could be better if I increased took the brightness level on the rocks.

Savannah H- Sky

I took this outside of my apartment and maybe 3 weeks ago and I took it with my iPhone 8 plus and I edited it by darkening the image and giving it a good filter and it was taken around sunset towards the end of the day.

Grace T - Cicada Shell

This picture was taken at night in my front yard with a Cannon camera. I took this picture by holding two flashlights on the left and underside of the bug to make its hollow insides show. I think this picture was one of my hardest to take because I had to hold the flashlights and the camera at once but thankfully it turned out just as I hoped it would. I edited the photo just a little bit by turning up brightness and the saturation.

Kendall O- Believed to Be Gods

The title of this image is “Believed To be Gods”. This was taken in my bedroom and the subject of this photo was of my favorite book titled The Ocean at the End of the Lane and one of the pages mentioned children and Gods and I remembered annotating it because of how powerful the line came across. The picture was taken with a Nikon Coolpix L820 along with some Christmas lights and my phone flashlight to help support the lighting of the photo. It could be better if there was more lighting in the photo to make the words of the book pop. Maybe if I also had more time to edit.

Samuel M - Orange Flowers

This is my photo Orange Flowers. I feel like I did this most editing on this photo. There was so much I had to do such as cropping, doing color saturation, the shadows and highlights, thought I had to choose another photo. The more time I spent with I became more satisfied with it. I should have choose a different position with it since the biggest problem was the sun.

Amira H - George

I took this photo of my little brother George. I took this photo with my iPhone. This photo represents my siblings and I have many memories with my brother. I was there when he was born and we went through things together. I edited it by putting a filter and increasing the brightness. I took this outside my house a month ago. (Don’t post this one)

Kay P- Night Light

I call this image Night Light. I took this for the Night & Day project. I was really into the way the light made it look like there was sunlight in complete pitch black darkness. It probably would’ve turned out better if I tried playing around more with light and color but I was happy with the result.

Ramzi M - Snow

Rams Maflahi, I took this photo with my old iPhone seven. I took the picture 2 years ago when it snowed. The subject is the man with mergers from the tree in the background.

Carlos G.- Downtown

With this picture I Changed and played with the background to bring out the characteristics of the church. Like on the roof and where the bel is located, many features seem to stand out more with the whimsical purple sky. The green trees complement well with the color of the church.

Katie G- A Girl, Her Cat, and Her Bestie

This photo is called “A Girl, Her Cat, and Her Bestie”. This was taken in my friends room on September 2nd, 2019. This was taken with a Canon EOS Rebel. I upped the brightness and sharpened it. It could be better if I had put a filter or my friend was more in the frame. This is a candid environmental photo and it is one of my favorites.

Nicolle D- The Rolling Man

This picture was taken at railroad park on January 5, 2019. It was taken with my Canon EOS 700D.
This picture was edited by color, light and was cropped. This is my good friend Santi, he likes skateboarding a lot.

Chris A - Flag

The title of this photo is “Flag”. This picture was taken next to Firebirds near the Riverchase Galleria. It was taken with my Canon EOS Rebel t2i. I edited this photo by increasing the contrast and brightness a little bit, I then cut out the flag and duplicated it and turned the opacity down and moved it over a little bit. I wish I could have gotten the picture while the flag was up in the air more.

Kenyon S- Through the Looking Glass

I named this photo “Through the Looking Glass” because of the edit I did to his eyeglasses. It was taken in my friend’s room October 1st in the evening. The picture was taken with my Nikon D5600 and it was edited by making the hue more red around his face making his face a little warmer and adding a photonegative filter over the lenses of his glasses.The photo could have been better if I took my camera wasn’t on manual mode since it automatically raised the ISO and therefore lowered the quality of the photo.

Savannah P-R- Band Sunset

The title of this image is “Band Sunset”. It is named that because I took this photo at the first band competition performance I had and when we were about to preform this was what I saw and I decided to take a picture of it. I took this with my phone and messed around with colors and saturation. This is one of my favorite photos.

Cameron Y- Magenta

This image is called Magenta.  I named it so because of all the different pinks and purples are present in it.  It was originally going to be used for the Night and Day project but ended up editing it to be used for something else.  It was taken in my backyard of my neighbor’s rose bush with my Nikon D50.  I edited in it photoshop by adding a gradient diagonally through the middle of the center rose.  I made one side darker and more purplish and the other side was more colorful and pinker.  I really love this image a whole lot and I think it might be my best.

Merit O- Sam

The name of this picture is Sam. I look this picture in the preserve when some and I were having a photo shoot. I took this picture with my canon reble T5. I edited this picture by making it just a little more saturated and making the color of his shirt pop more. I also put a filter over the picture so it wouldn’t be so green tented.

Eduardo M- Adventure In Night

The tittle of this picture is Adventure In Night. It was taken like about a month ago in downtown Birmingham Alabama. It was taken with my DSH Sony camera. I edited it though photos app I think the picture was good but I just added a fade filter to give it a little bit more of brightness. I think it could be better with a better background but overall I think its a great picture of my friend name Jose Flores Rodolfo.

This picture was taken in my backyard

Trey B- Haustmorgnar

I call this image, Haustmorgnar in Icelandic, meaning, Autumn Mornings. I really like this image and thought it would make for a great photo blog for your opinions! I took this image at my house on October 16th. For this image, I increased the vibrance, the definition, and decreased the highlights. I think perhaps if the trees in the bottom right and left of the picture were bigger, or if I had taken this image from a different spot, it could’ve been better. I hope you guys enjoy my photograph!

Vlad S -Moon by the Beach

I took this picture in the summer when I was in clearwater. I saw the perfect shot so I just snapped a pic real quick. I like this picture a lot , I think it looks pretty good. All did to this picture was make it brighter. It was just small little touches nothing big.

Amari W- na-A-ture

The title of this image is na-A-ture. It’s a play on the fact that the sticks are in the shape of an “A”. This picture was taken outside my apartment complex. I took this picture with a VIVITAR DVR 786HD. I edited it by increasing the light and contrast.This picture could be better if the camera was able to capture more details of the sticks.

Evelyn C - Ducks

The title of my image is Ducks, yes I know it should be geese but I like it as ducks better, and I took it at Aldridge Gardens when I visited with my family some weeks ago. This was taken with my Canon Rebel T5 camera. I brightened the image and added some contrast. I believe it could have been a better picture if I focused some more of the goose’s head that was dipped in the water. But besides that I feel happy and satisfied by it and by being able to get a shot of a goose drinking water.

Sasha C- shutter speed

Shutter speed, it was taken at the bridge on the highway not far away from my house. the picture was taken at night. It was taken with my Nikon D3200. I changed the filter and make the picture more clear. It could be better if I make the road more visible.

Jack J. - El Diablo

This image is titled “El Diablo” and it was taken on my back deck with my Canon Rebel. I edited this image by selecting the skateboard and adjusting the hue and making the background black and white. This image could be better if the camera wasn’t taking the picture at an angle.

Julien F - Dragonfly

I took this photo which I called Dragonfly during the about me project in the first nine weeks. I used my camera and edited it both in photos and Photoshop. In photos I turned up the saturation while in Photoshop I color contrast it. I am really proud of this image since it took multiple tries on getting the right angle of the dragonfly while making sure to not scare it. There isn’t much I would change about the photo and I had a fun time taking and editing the photo.
