Taylor D- Tree

  The title of this image is Tree & it’s basically just a tree in my front yard. I edited this phot by lowering the brightness, sharpening the image and a little blur. I don’t think it could get any better than this, this picture is very fascinating to me This was taken on an iphone 11 probably in portrait mode & it was taken a morning before school in the start of fall.

Dylan B- Ferris Wheel

 The title of this image is Ferris Wheel. This photo was taken at the fair on  September 3rd. I took this picture on my iPhone 12 mini. I edited this picture by turning the color and brightness up. I think it could’ve been better if I had a chance to be a little more still. 

Crystal V- Moo

The title of this photo is Moo. I took this photo at a farm that I went to with my family on monday october 10, 2022. I took this photo with a Sony alpha6100. How I edited this photo was to turn the saturation and brightness up. How this photo could be better is that the photo could be a bit more clearer. 

Muriithi M - Drabby Night

 I’mma be real for a second, the only real reason I picked that name is for an extremely dumb pun and nothing else. Well, no matter what I don’t think I will change the name as I like it as is. This photo was taken a the backyard of my house at night with my camera I used for school. I forgot the name and specifics of it but it’s very bad. However, it makes these nighttime photos look more crypted and cursed, so do a few adjustments light toning up the brightness and boom, instant 11/10. 

Outside of that, I didn’t do much in the way of editing, as it didn’t take much to make it have that “low-quality-found-aliens-gone-owo,” along those lines. I think one thing I could learn from this is to use whatever stuff I use to my advantage, even if it’s the bare minimum of equipment.

Maddox D - Flower

 The Image is called Flower. The picture was taken in my house on September 18. I took the photo with a Canon EOS Rebel T6i. I blurred the background and overlaid a copy of just the flower. I needed to have the end of the flower more in focus.

Benji H-- Robot Art

This piece is called Robot Art. It was taken at my house one night when I felt inspired. I used my old art portfolio pieces to reveal something about myself: my love for art. I used filters to give it a warmer tone than it had prior. Overall I like the result. However, if I was to do it again, I would probably get it to focus more on the robot rather than the red colored pencil.

Ayda M- San Antonio

I took this picture last summer with a Canon Rebel T7i in San Antonio on a road trip with my family to the Grand Canyon. I straightened the picture, increased the saturation, the contrast, and the shadows, and edited it to look warmer. I think if the picture was taken at a different angle where the traffic light was even with the sidewalk I would this picture more. I like this picture because I think it accurately represents San Antonio and how it felt to be there.

Amber H- Eye

 This picture is called eye. It is a picture of my boyfriends left eye. It was taken outside during sunset at TipTop Grill in Bluff Park. This picture was part of my Night and Day photography assignment. My light source was the sun and it could be better if it were more up close to the eye. I really just used the dodge tool, the burn tool, and the spot healing brush tool. I also adjusted the size and hardness of the spot healing brush tool. 

Kate M- Rockstar Wizard

  The title of my image is “Rockstar Wizard”. It was taken at my friend Joseph’s house about a week ago. I took it with my camera which is a Nikon D5600. I edited it by turning the brilliance and highlights all the way down, contrast all the way up, I messed with the curves, and turned the saturation up slightly. I feel like it could be a lot better if it was a little more defined.

Logan S- Night and Day 2

 The title of the picture is Light Lizard. This picture was taken in my front yard at night. I took the photo with a Kodak AZ252 digital camera. For the editing, I made a copy of the lizard, changed the hue to blue, turned that into a mask, and used a textured brush to erase the edges. I duplicated the lizard again and added a wave filter. I duplicated the lizard again and added motion blur. I could have made the background light less intense.

Maci J- 11:59

The title of this image is 11:59. I took this photo in September in my room. This photo was taken with my Canon Powershot SX540 HS. I edited this photo by cropping out a lot of the background and making edits to the brightness of the image. I think this image could have better if it were more clear or I wore a different shirt. The gray shirt sort of makes it look more grainy than it may be. The reason I titled this image 11:59 is because I wanted to take a photo that represented an experience many students have been through. Sometimes you don’t feel like doing work in class or you put something off and suddenly it's night time and you’re incredibly stressed out trying to get the assignment done before the notorious 11:59 deadline. In some of the other photos I took I think you can see that stress but in this one I think it more so showcases the regret and apathy towards finishing the assignment. 

Jose Gomez B - AMX

 The title of the image is AMX and it was taken in my apartment complex. It was taken with a Canon EOS Rebal T7 camera. I edited the color, contrast, and saturation of the image. I like the photography, but I think it could be better If the source of light was better. 

Anna Gale H- A Candle's Light

  This image is called “A Candle’s Light.” I took this image of a candle at night in my living room. It has pumpkins that I used to decorate for the fall with the candle as the light source. I took this picture with my iphone 13 pro, but I still think the phone camera captured the light well. To edit this picture I changed the light to show more in the shadows. I also edited out some fuzz that was on the candle. I think this image could be better if I used my camera that have at home because I think the quality would be better. I like this photo because I think it fits the spookieness of October. 

Amelia G- Walflower

    The title of this image is Walflower. This photo was taken in my front yard on September 23rd. I took this picture with my iPhone 13 and I edited it by increasing the saturation, sharpness, and highlights. I think it could have been better if the stem wasnt so thin. I really like this image because the peddles are really sharp and stick out but it also goes well with the wall behind it. 

Ahmad J- Yellow Moon (First Post of 22-23 School Year)

 I took this photo near the shopping center at the front of the neighborhood. It was taken around 8 at night. It was taken with a Nikon Coolpix L340. For editing I raised the contrast a bit and edited out the power lines. It would be better if I could zoom in more and bring out the detail. Other than that I think this was a pretty good photo.

Liv R - Coloboma

The title of this image is Coloboma. A coloboma is a defect in the iris of the eye. I took this photo in the studio with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras and a macro lens. I edited this photo with the levels tool (my personal favorite tool:  you select if you’re changing the bright point, mid-tone, or black point and it adjusts the rest of the image accordingly.) I also used a Nik Collection filter. I think this photo could be better if I were able to get even closer to her eye. I had a lot of fun learning to use Macro-Lenses!

Alex B- Sweet Boy

 This image is named “Sweet Boy” because when I met this cat at a park he instantly walked over to me and let me pet him. It was taken and Bluff Park Elementary Playground, was taken on the 25th of april with my iphone SE 2nd generation. I edited this image by making the image sharper and making the cat’s eyes very saturated with the sponge tool. I could make this better if it was a better camera.

Trevor P- Melancholy

 I call this picture Melancholy, I took this image for the architecture assignment. I like this picture because it makes me wonder what the story is behind this. This is at an abandoned building that has been left barron for a few years now. I wonder what caused the building to be shut down and why work was put to a pause. I took this image with my Nikon D5100 and added a film filter and played with the colors a little.

Aidan P- Shark Eye

This image is called shark eye and was taken with my iphone at the Ripley’s Believe it or not Museum in Tennessee. I took this during spring break of a robotic shark eye that was used for a robotic shark submarine model. My main editing was used with the Nik Collection and specifically the color cast to try and give it some underwater colors in the background. The eye is not perfectly centered but it was kind of hard since the eye was always opening and closing. I also didn’t notice it until a while after I took it. The center of the eye is also a little blurry which I don’t like but it was mostly because of the light. I still think it’s an overall a clear picture with most of it and the angle was pretty lucky.

Mary Mason P- DIsney

 I named this image Disney because it was taken at Disney. It was taken in Magic kingdom at Disney during their fireworks show. It was taken with my iphone 12. I didn’t edit it. I didn't think it needed editing.

Raven L- Contrast

 This picture is called Contrast because it is two different architectural buildings next to each other creating an interesting contrast. It was taken on March 27th of this year with my iphone 7. I increased the blackpoint and the brightness. I wish I had my camera on me to take pictures with better quality. I also wish I took more than one angle instead of taking the picture while I passed by.

Caeden H- Pretty in Pink

 The title of this image is “Pretty in Pink”. I took this picture in my grandparents backyard on April 10th. I took this image with my Iphone 12 Pro. I edited it by increasing the brightness, color, contrast, and saturation. I think it could be better if I had been able to isolate the flower so it was the main focus. 

Tyrick H - Pictorialist Candle

 This is a picture of a candle that was taken in the living room of my house. I took the picture with my iPhone 11 pro. I edited this image a few different times. This is most likely my favorite way. I added filters and added different colors. It was really fun editing this picture and one thing I would probably change is that I feel that I should have taken the image at a different angle.

Marshall H- -- Chat Noir

 The picture I chose is called “Chat Noir” which is French for “Black Cat.” This picture was taken by my iPhone 13, it was a really sunny day and my cat was taking complete advantage of the rays. I didn’t do much to this picture besides crop it-- my camera picked up the cool glare.

Alexander M - The Road

 I titled this photograph The Road because I wanted it to match the bleak and apocalyptic atmosphere of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, The Road. I took this on the walking trail behind the school on February 22nd with my iPhone X. I edited this to saturate the colors and reduce the blueness of the sky. This could have been better had I introduced more color to the image to make it less brown. 

Ani W- Stranger Things Action Figures

 I've titled this image Stranger Things Action Figures since this photo is of two characters from the Netflix show Stranger Things, (yep very creative with naming things, not). I took this image over the weekend in a dark hallway of my house using my Canon Camera. I edited this image by using some of the Nik collection filters from photoshop. I really enjoyed staging the characters, using different types of lighting, and editing the photo making it look like a scene from the show!

Sydney R- All In the Wooden Details

 The title of this image is called, “All In the Wooden Details”. It was taken at a church somewhere outside of Hoover the week before spring break for my Architecture project. I shot this picture with my Nikon D3500. To edit, I cropped and rotated the image a bit, and then used the Camera Raw application in Photoshop to mess with the brightness, contrast, blacks and whites, and the overall color of the photo (Which I made slightly green). I wish that I had edited out the object in the bottom right corner since it messes up the composition of my photo.

Santo P- Cars

 This picture was taken in Homewood after work. Here is my car and a friend's car too. I call this picture Cars. I took it with my iPhone 11. It was about 11:00 pm.

CAROLINE M- Spring

This photo is called spring, it was taken April 11, 2022, at my neighbors house for a last minute babysitting job. It was taken on my Iphone 8 plus. I didn’t really do anything to edit it except mess with the brightness. I wish I had my camera so it wouldn’t have been so blurry. This picture was supposed to be funny because the cat was looking at me weird but as soon as I took the picture he moved his head.

Madison S- Nostalgia

 The name of this Image is Nostalgia. I took this picture when I was on a cruise in Mexico and it just gives me good vibes and I really miss the beautiful view.

Akelsa N- Disney

 I TOOK THIS PICTURE AT DISNEY DURING THE WEEKEND BEFORE SPRING BREAK TAKEN WITH MY PHONE I EDITED IT IN PHOTOS.

Adam T- V8

The title of my image is V8 because that is the engine that is in this specific Corvette. It is one of my friends’ dad’s old 73’ Corvette. It was taken outside around the time of the architecture assignment and was taken with my Rebel XS Canon camera. I edited it by just dimming the lighting so the reflection of the sun isn’t as blinding and you can capture the components of the engine. I feel as if it could be better if I got a bit closer to capture more details.

Ayla S- Fort Morgan

 This image is titled, “Fort Morgan.” It was taken in Fort Morgan over Spring Break. This photograph was taken with a Canon Rebel T6. I took away a few distracting rocks in this photograph using the healing tool. I also increased the saturation of the brick, the grass, and the sky to make it more vibrant. I think it could be better if it was taken from a different angle.

Nora G- Shadows

 This is called Shadows. I like it because I like how I took 4 different images and put them all together. I think the lighting is bad but I like the way it looks anyway. I didn't edit the lighting because it would get how I wanted it too so the only edit is the adding other pictures to it. 

Connor G- School House Rock

 I took this picture downtown at an abandoned elementary school. I upped the lighting and put it through the nik collection and this was the result. I really like it.
