ReRe H-Passion

The title of my photo is “Passion”. I took this picture 2 weeks ago in my bedroom. I took this photo with an Fujifilm FinePix S8600. I increased the exposure , contrast and saturation up. I also turned the temperature down. This photo could have been better if I used the rule of thirds to make sure the picture is even all around. The reason I picked this photo was because I love music and it means a lot to me.

Grant S- Downtown Birmingham

The title of my photo is “Downtown Birmingham”. It was taken last year on Veteran’s Day when I was on my way to a Veteran’s Day parade. I took it with my iPhone 4s. I made the picture cooler, sharper, and added some contrast. It could be better if I had maybe taken the picture in front of the fence. I am happy with how it came out.

Samuel C- Lego Statue of Liberty

• This was taken at the River chase Galleria on August 31, 2015
• It was taken with a Nikon D40X camera
• I edited it by brightening up the image and removing some dots left on the photo by the camera
• I could have straightened the image up a bit more either by holding my hands steadier or by using a tripod and used the flash on my camera at the time to have a consistent light source across the photo

Briggs A- Caged

This was taken at my house recently. This was taken with my Kodak easy share Z710. I edited this photo with iPhoto editing. Through this I changed the contrast and the overall brightness of the photo. This picture could have been better if I had gotten him to go and run around.

Trey D- My Baby

I titled this picture My baby. I took this picture at my house in the dining room last summer. I took it with a Polaroid. I adjusted the the brightness, increase the saturation and contrast. There is nothing else that can make this picture better.

Daniel M- "328i"

This photo is called “328i”. I took this photo in a parking lot last week. I took it with my D40. To edit this photo i turned the exposure down. I think I shouldn’t have taken it so low to the ground.

Areez L- Untitled

This photo was taken outside of my friends house in the morning last year, and it was taken with my phone. I edited this photo by enhancing the image and adjusting the highlights and shadow settings. I think I could’ve made this photo better by taking it from a different angle where more amiable light is present.

Briley S- Land of the Free

This photo is titled ‘Land of the Free’ because the American flag represents our country and the fifty states that make up the USA. I took this picture a few weeks ago in the courtyard after lunch with my Samsung SL720. i turned the sharpness way up and increased the saturation. this picture could be better if there were some clouds in the sky or  some trees in it.

Nicole T- Lilac Sky

The name of this picture is Lilac Sky. It was taken on August 23, 2015  and it was taken from a car as we were driving past a forest area. I took this picture with a Canon Powershot Sx 150 IS. I edited this picture on iPhoto using the Antique filter, the Fade filter, and the Boost filter. I also used Cooler, set the exposure to .91, contrast to -36, saturation to 55, set the definition to 58, highlights to 80, shadows to 37, sharpness to 42, de-noise to 58, temperature to -49, tint to -81, and I cropped it. It could be better if the trees were less dark.

Riley Y - Balance

I called this photograph Balance, because I think it fits well with the principle of balance. It was taken in Mentone, Alabama on August 2. When I edited this picture, I turned up the saturation, definition, highlights, sharpness, and temperature. I think it could be better if there was more light on the cliff in the center of the picture.

Oryieon M - Ink Pen

The title of this pictures is called ink pen. It was taken in my history class about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I took it with my iPhone 4s. Their isn’t any edits on the picture.Im not sure how it could have been better.

Rebecca S- McWay Falls

The title of this image is McWay Falls and this is of McWay Falls in Big Sur, California. This was taken the summer of my freshman year. I took this with my Nikon Coolpix L320 and i edited it by increasing the contrast, definition, and temperature and decreasing the exposure. One way this could be better is if it was taken on a tripod so there wasn’t any camera shake because the trees are a little blurry.

Wes S- Untitled

It was taken in Atlanta, Georgia at the braves game on July 17th I took this picture with my iPhone
I edited it by raising exposure, contrast saturation and I also raised shadow effect. I think it could be better if i used a better quality camera to begin with. This is the amount of wiring that goes into wiring a broadcast for an Atlanta braves game.

Josh C- Little Forest

This photo was taken in my house earlier this month (September of 2015) for the recent about me assingment. I used a Cannon Powershot ELPH to take this shot. This photo has little edits other then some adde definition and increased shadows using the editor in iPhoto. The edits make the picture way more enjoyable to view as it makes it seem more like a over head shot of a erotic forest then a close up of a flower pot. It would be better if I had a tripod to better stabilize the shot however the shot is still pretty fine.

Blakely W- Coca-Cola

I took this in my room on a shelf. This was taken a few weeks ago for the about me project. I took it against my blue wall and on my camera. I edited this by adding contrast, saturation, sharpen, and added definition. I think this picture would be better if I cropped it the other way and did the full bottle.

Gabi B- July 4th

The title of this picture is July 4th. I took this picture on the fourth of July this summer at the Hoover Met. I took it with my iPhone 5c and edited it by increasing the saturation and contrast and also changed the tint.
This picture could be better if you could see what the background was instead of just seeing black.I like this picture because you can see the shadows and smoke of the Firework.

Sydney G- Happy

The title of this image is Happy. This was taken in my room a couple of weeks ago. I edited this picture by brightening it. It could be better by the angle.

DejonF- Appetite for Destruction

The title of the image is called “Appetite for Destruction”
This photo was taken in my living room on September 2nd.
This photo was taken with my Cannon PowerShot SX130 IS
This photo could be better if there wasn’t the car seat and the stroller in the back ground.

Matthew W.- Weekend Warrior

I named this photo “Weekend Warrior” because I took it on a weekend vacation with my friend up in Mentone Alabama. I took this photo about 2-3 hours before sunset with my Nikon D80, and I did not edit it. I could have made this picture better by focusing more on the first foot.

Zack C- "Some Grass"

This picture’s subject is some rained-on grass and dirt outside the barn at out old farm a few weeks ago. We had gone there to bring back an old truck left there. Luckily, I didn’t have to move it, the people who did took a a long time, and I had brought my camera. I took this with my Fujifilm S5 Pro SLR with a Nikon Macro Lens. I took a lot of pictures that day, but this is my favorite of the bunch. I just love to look at all the detail. When editing this picture, I wanted a realistic, believable look that also permitted the most beautiful possible. If I edited it too much, it would cartoony of fake, and I didn’t want that, so I spent a lot of time on this one. I lowered the contrast a little and raised both the exposure and saturation slightly. I put the definition and highlight detail at about half and the sharpness all the way up (why not?) I also lowered the temperature a little and tinted it slightly green just to get the most out of the colors. This, as I said before, is probably my favorite picture I took that day, maybe ever, so I can say, with full honesty in my heart, there isn’t anything I want to change about this picture; I really like it, but I am interested to hear any suggestions you may have!

Chloe j- Lookout

I named this photo “Lookout” This was taken at the Vulcan this summer. It was taken with my canon xsi. I edited it by charged the tint to more of a green/yellow, and using the enhancement tool. It could be better if I worked harder on editing it, other than that I am happy with the outcome of this picture.

Peyton R- Near Post

I took this photo over the summer, at the soccer field next to the met. I took this photo with my Cannon Rebel. To edit this photo, I decreased the temperature to give the photo a cooler look. I also increased the definition and the exposure. I am very happy with the results of this photo considering it was the first ever photo that I edited.

Bradley C- Lucky

I named this photo “lucky”, this was taken at my house in my room around last Christmas. I took it with a Nikon D7000, I like the original picture. Its dark enough and plus I like it original.

Eric H- Orange Sky

The name of my photo is “Orange Sky”, it was taken in Destin, Florida last Christmas break. I took this with my iPhone. I edited it by making it warmer and adding saturation. I think it could be better if it was sharpened in more. 

Maison R- HHI, SC

I took this picture on vacation when I went to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina with my iPhone 6. I edited it by increasing the contrast, saturation, and highlights.  Also, I decreased the shadow and noise. To make it better I could have made the biggest tree more towards the right. I like how all the colors in the picture really pop.

Alena D- Little Boy Eating Grapes

The photo is a statue of a little boy eating grapes. This photo was taken over the weekend and this statue was on my back porch. It was taken with my camera,a Canon EOS Rebel T5. The only thing I did to the photo was turn a little brightness up to add some affect to the boys face but I liked how it turned out. I also like how you can see all the details to the statue. I honestly think that I could have angled it better and added like saturation or made it feel like it was back in the old days.

Tanner R- Sunset

The title of my picture is sunset.  This picture was taken at Tip Top Grill on August 22, 2015. I edited this picture by increasing the the definition, highlights, shadows, sharpness, and the de-noise.  My picture could be better by making the colors contrast a little more. I like this picture because it shows how many different colors are in the sky.

Megan S- Car Ride

This picture was taken in my friends 1985 Mercedes Station Wagon. I took this a few weeks ago whenever we were driving around. I edited it by cropping it and putting the antique filter on it. It could be better if it weren’t so blurry.

Ryan M- Itzy's Eyes

I took this photo that I call “Itzy’s Eyes” on August 23rd, 2015, when she was sunbathing on the couch in my family’s home. I took the photo with my EOS 1200D digital camera. I edited the photo by boosting, darkening, and adding sharpness and definition to the photo. I feel it would be a better edited photo if while my edits still did add effect to her eyes, which is what I was trying to do, but also not make her ears unidentifiable because it is very hard to see her ears in this photo.

Ella P- Jamaica

I took this photo over the summer when my family and I went on a Disney Caribbean Cruise. I entitled it “Jamaica” because that’s one of the places we stopped. I added a boost filter to this photo and increased the saturation as well as the sharpness. I wish I was able to include more of the mountain scene in the background. This is one of my favorite photos because it has a lot of blood colors and intricate details in the architecture.

Rajiv P - Racquet Ball

The title of this image is Racquet and ball. It was taken a couple of weeks ago, outside my house, in the cul de sac. It was taken with a Cannon Powershot 160. I enhanced the image and added a filter (Boost). I also darkened the image and turned up the saturation. The definition and highlights was turned up to 100. Exposure, contrast , and saturation were all turned up. I wish I would have took the picture at a tennis court, because it would have made the perfect back ground and tie the picture all together.

Mychael O- Flower

This photo was taken in my yard at my house about a month ago. I took it with my Nikon D60 camera. I edited it by turning up the saturation and adding sharpness. It could be better if I would have centered the flower a little more.

Lana M- Logan

I titled this photo Logan. It was taken on the band bus on the way to the Mountain Brook game on September 12th. It was taken with a Cannon SL1. I used photoshop and i used the adjustment layers to fix the colors, contrast, and saturation. I also used the color range to edit the shadow and highlights. Then I selected the background and tinted it blue and changed the opacity of the layer. I wish that I would have gotten more color on his eyes and that there were more shadows to make a greater contrast.

Christine G- Six Flags

the title of this photo is six flags. this photo was taken during the summer in six flags over Georgia. it was taken with samsung galaxy s6. to edit this picture i cropped it. the photo could be better if i captured the entire rollercoaster. this photo is my favorite because me and my family made so many memories during this trip to six flags.

Tajane C- Rose Garden

The title of my image is called Rose Garden. It was taken in my driveway around September 15 on my IPhone. I edited it through IPhoto on my mac at home. How my picture could have been better was that I could have taken it with a real camera and not a phone. An extra detail about this picture is that I like this picture because roses are one of my favorite flowers.
