Ashley P- Crown or Leaves

I took this picture in a really old cemetery when I was on a trip with my church. I love this picture because of how old the cross is and that someone put the crown made out of leaves, which made me think of the crown of thorns the Jesus wore, which makes this setting beautiful. To edit it I enhanced the contrast and soften the colors. The only thing I REALLY wish I could change would be if I could have made the date stand out, I tried but only could see what looked like a 28.

Darien B- Alexis

This picture is called Alexis. I took this of my friend Alexis in class with black background. To edit this picture i made it black and white then I believe I used the charcoal filter. I also adjusted the contrast and brightness to make it darker. I really like this picture because its way different than any other picture I've taken before. I think it could have been better if I made it a little smoother.

Taylor S- Kisses

This is a picture i used in my close up assignment. I loved how it turned out i got one hershey kiss then another and so one i angled it different ways then i got the perfect shot. I contracted the picture.

Alyssa Y- Sloss

I took this picture recently when I went to Sloss Furnace. I am not exactly sure what it is of, but I really like the textures in the picture. I edited it by darkening the contrast, and put emphasis on the rusted/discolored areas of the picture. 

Danae A- Point of View

I took this picture in the beginning of the year for the "About Me" project. I think it is fitting because it describes both my love for music and my love for photography. To edit this picture, I raised both the brightness and contrast and bumped up the saturation a little bit, but I mostly left the picture alone.

Anissa L-Blocks

I took this photo with the black backdrop in Mr. Rigsby's class. I changed the colors of the blocks into darker colors. I wanted to make this picture better by getting rid of the grain that you can see on the blocks.

Ashley C- San Rock Cay

I took this picture during one of my beach trips to Orange Beach, AL this past year.  I love this picture because of the vibrant shades of blue in the sky and water.  Also, the sharp contrast of the white boat against the water creates an interesting shot.  I edited this by adjusting the levels and sharpening it.  

Abbey W- Sleeping Bradley

The title of this image is called "sleeping bradley". I added tons of filters, surface blur, painted with color and added her lips from another photo to this one. I was actually just playing around when I made this photo to fix my photo shop tools because they weren't working like normal and I started to like where it was going! Even though its not the best photo ever and you can tell i did a lot of editing I really like this photo because it is so different! It could have been better if the line of the rectangle wasn't so straight and if i fixed the bow around the eye! But overall I really like this picture of bradley and how it turned out! 

Amelia S- Necklace

This is my favorite necklace. I love how simple it is. I can wear it with anything. I edited it by turning it black and white, cropping it, and adjusting the levels. 

Andrew L - Clocks

This is a photo of a clock in my house, and the photo by itself was very bland and boring.  I decided as part of the close-up assignment that I would make this photo one of the abstract, edited photos.  I did this with the filters, and I found a good filter or two that made the photo look like an imprint on sand.  Then, I had to adjust the brightness, contrast, smoothness, etc. to adjust the effects of the filter that made it have the shadow caste across the top.  

Alex E- Upright Bass

This is a picture of my older brothers up right base that he plays at UAB. I took some shots of it for the close up assignment. I thought this picture looked interesting because of the detail in the tuning keys. The one thing i would change would be the background setting and maybe the angle that i took it at.

Madhukar M - Homework

This picture was taken as part of the still life project. I arranged my calculus homework on top of a textbook, and placed my glasses at an angle. My favorite parts of the picture are how the light shining on the rim of the glasses reflects onto the page, and the sharpness of the lead. I feel that I could have made this picture better if i had gotten some more work in focus, and had better lighting.

Odus S- Crystal Stare

Sarah P- Nail

I took this image for the Close Up assignment. I really love the contrast of the grey in the wood and the green from the trees in the background. I love the tunnel affect that the picture has. I edited this just by playing with the levels and colors and touching some minor blemishes up. I just thought the picture looked really cool. 

Zach C- Coke Bottle

I took this picture of a Coke bottle for the still life assignment. I edited this by sharpening the image. 

Yesenia S - Love

This picture was taken in my house one afternoon after school. I really liked this picture at first because of the white smoke - it looks like - but it was just the camera that gave it that extra touch to make it look better. I also used this photo in the Still Life project and I edited it by adjusting the Levels and adding a layer to adjust the coloring. Though I think it could have been better if had more focus. Overall, I liked how it turned out and I hope you do to. (:

Meagan P- Play Ball

I took this picture for the close up assignment. I like how it really stand out with the black background. I also think its kind of cool to see all the dirt and the grass stains on it. I did change the saturation to make the red stand out more than the original picture. 

Samantha D- Eye

I took this picture of my friend's eye when we were hanging out. To edit it, I adjusted the exposure, contrast, and enhanced it a little using photoshop and iPhoto to darken the eye and her skin color.

Tripp W.- Alien

I titled this photo "Alien" because I wanted to make the green on the stairs look like luminescent alien blood. I first had to edit out a large heart and someone's name on the stairs. Then i adjusted the levels, turned down the brightness, increased the contrast, and added a few cooling filters to make it seem like night time. To make the blood seem like i was glowing, i added a layer mask and added a little green to the walls surrounding the blood.

Steven F- Red Shoes And Dead Leaves

Luiza L.- Natural History Skull

This picture was taken at the Alabama Museum of Natural History in Tuscaloosa. At first, the picture was not very dramatic, but, after making it black and white, I created a new layer and turned on the overlay setting. Using both the light and dark choices on the overlay, I created more definition between the highlights and the shadows in the skull to make it more dramatic. I think this picture could be better if there was more contrast between the skull and the background. On some of the extremities of the skull, where the light hit, the outline of the skull blurs into the background.

Lakeshia.B - Wheel of time

I take this for the still life assignment  It's called Wheel Of Time  I really like how this one come out. I just mad it black and white and got close up so the wheel would be more of the focus. I darken it so it would get a grey feel I take this photo of my apple holder in my living room.

Josh V- Alabama Baseball

This was an image I edited for the Composite Assignment and I thought it looked really cool. I first took a picture of a t-shirt I have that says "Alabama Baseball' and made some adjustments. Then I duplicated the background layer and used the motion blur filter. Then I went to blending options and used difference.

Jordan M- Cross

I named this picture Cross because when I edited it, I cut out an X in the picture and rotated it. For the rest of the picture I did multiple layers of increasing color saturation as well as layers of Gaussian Blur. I like how I took this picture on accident and now it is one of my favorites.

Stephanie P- London

I used the picture for the composite assignment. I took all of these picture in London, the original picture was of the Farris wheel, after i duplicated the layer and edited it I added the picture of Big Ben. I edited that layer and added the picture of the water and the side of the olympic building. Last i added the London sky line at the bottom. 

Johannes S- Ball

I chose this image from the Still Life Assignment and called it "Ball". I edited this image by making it grayscale at first, and then by cropping it. Then, I edited the image by adding a gradient layer, as well as coloring some parts of the image darker on a new layer. Afterwards, I also adjusted the black and white settings of the image. This image represents who I am because it shows how I like sports, especially soccer. 

Mylie U- Manipulated Baja

This is a picture of the baja blast in a glass. I took it for the still life project. I took this at my boyfriend's house, in his windowsill. I made the color more blue by using the hue layer. 

Yesenia S - Pink Flower

Meagan P- The Notebook

I really love this picture! I used some romantic books that I had and one of my favorite lines from The Notebook. I used this for my composite and had the books, the page, and a rose. I wish I had taken another shot of the page because I wish you could be able to read it more. 

Sarah P- Brushes

I took this picture during school one day of some brushes that I got from the art hall. I really like the orientation of the brushes and how they are angled. To edit this image I played with the levels and made it black and white. Then i reduced the opacity to around 30 percent to allow for the antiqued look. I really like this image, but i feel it could have more added to the image, like some paint or a painting. 

Maia S- Winter Ride

Rayna B- Angel

This is an image I took of my bracelet and necklace in class while working on still life. I brightened it a little and added the quote to it. I also darkened the background to give more of a dramatic feel. I chose this picture because both of these pieces of jewelry are from my parents and that means a lot to me. 

Madison V- Flag in the Wind

I took this picture at my grandmother's house because I liked the way the flag was blowing in the wind, and how there were no clouds in the background.  I enhanced the image, sharpened, and increased the saturation of the photo.  

Nick E- Dartboard Composite

This is a photo I edited for the composite assignment that is called Dartboard Composite. The images it's composed of are of The dartboard, a tile pattern from a kitchen table, and a wall fixture that isn't really seen, but used more for color and shadow. I like the warm colors in it but wish you could see all three items used and integrated within the photo. 

Ryan S- Looking Through the Clouds

I called this picture "Looking Through the Clouds." This is a picture of the tailgate of my truck. Then I also added a picture of my dog's eye (which has a glare in it all of the time, so the glare isn't from the camera) and a reflection off my friends golf cart. To edit it, I adjusted the levels, made the eye layer a linear dodge layer, made the golf cart layer a linear light layer, and made the background a color burn layer. I like this picture because I thought the colors were really cool.
