Crew V - Family Photo

I chose this picture of my family and I that we took on Christmas Eve. It was the first family photo we had taken in a while and I think it came out great. I adjusted the levels, contrast, color balance, and the tone of the photo. I also had to use the red eye tool on my brothers. This is one of the best family photos we have ever taken.

Antoinette M - Ed Sheeran

I did Ed Sheeran for my typography project. Basically for Ed I chose random songs and his name for my project. This was kinda difficult bc it dealt with many different colors and you had to have many different text. In the end I think it turned out great. 

Lauren F - Jake

This is a photo I took downtown. To accomplish this picture, I first spot-healed and patched any imperfections I thought needed a little touching up. Then, I changed the brightness, contrast, and vibrance. I then added some offset to the picture which adds a little darkness to the spots that need it. What I find most intriguing about this photograph is the way the background colors match him. The shirt, his hair, etc. 

Libby S - Glowstick

In this photo I simply titled “glowstick”, I set my shutter speed as slow as possible and had my dad wave around a glowstick. He made a circular pattern until the picture finally took (which took forever), and the outcome was this. I had him take it with a brick wall background to make the focus be only on the glowstick. If I could do it again, i would ask him to be precise with his circles to make it look even cooler. I love this picture though, because I think it is very original and a quality picture.

Brittany W - Class GIF

To do this project I asked multiple people from my class to go into the studio and I told them to smile or make a funny face. After the pictures were taken I aligned their faces and cropped the pictures.This assignment was different from a traditional photo assignment because you had to think in a way to make the pictures tell something when put together. My favorite thing about this project was that when you put all the pictures together it makes you see things differently. 

Drew D - Motion Blur

This picture was taken a while ago in a parking lot. Just recently I edited the picture to add a motion blur, making it seem as if the car was flying into the parking space. the addition of the blur added more action and rhythm to the picture.

Corbin W - Surrealism

With my Surrealism #1 picture there is two opposite areas of the picture filled with clouds then a hand coming out of the sky is coming down to take hold of someone else’s hand reaching up through the bottom portion of the clouds. Then there is a hand trying to stop the person from reaching to the creator (then hand reaching down.) The picture turns out to go along really well with the message of Psalm 18:16 “He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.”

Caleb G - Portrait

This picture was taken at Tanehill for the portrait project, and it looks kind of funny. The kid is dressed up like a werewolf for halloween, but his face looks bored, like there’s no heart to his costume. He also has a Dr. Pepper, which is funny because he’s supposed to be a ferocious, wild werewolf. He is a representation of the loss of wonder in today’s world, which is a little funny and a little sad.

Lindsey M - Sunflower

I used an outline of the sunflower from the internet and used words about the sunflower to create the image. I like the simplicity of it and I think that putting the words on the image makes it look cool. If I did anything differently, I would make the sunflower more detailed. 

Grey B - Portrait

This is a photo of Coach Steinert in front of his white board. I love this picture because it makes Steinert look like a bronze statue and the texture looks cool. But if I could do anything different i wish I would have gotten a cooler background instead of a plain white background. 

Hayley W - Dolphin Tail

I took this picture this past summer at sea world while watching the dolphin show. It turned out to be a lot better than i thought it would be since i took it without really trying that hard just hoping that it would get a good picture. I like the way the water looks as it splashes off the dolphins tails and the light reflects off of it. I also like that the picture gives off a sense of wonder and energy. 

Mariah M - Camel

For my blogpost I will be submitting my typography animal, which is a camel. The reason why I chose this is because I love camels and they are really sweet and hope to ride one some day. I think I did my best on this animal because it looks very realistic and it is a unique animal.

Chance R - SP

I got this picture from the internet. I chose this picture because I was bored. I used my school logo to show some school spirit. I would make the text inside say “Spain Park Jags” instead of “Spain Park”. I like the way it cuts off the letters.  

Yana V - Landscape

I took this picture over Christmas break in Colorado. My family and I were walking around and the view was really pretty from where i was standing. I love this picture because the snow is absolutely beautiful. And the trees pop out in the snow, because of the contrast of dark and light. I love this picture but to make it better I would have liked to get a mountain in the back.

Devontae J - Flowers

i went hiking one day with some friends and the entire trail was very gloomy and like just a little haunted and grungy until i came across this one spot where the sun was shining with this pond of petal and a flower and it was so beautiful so i took a pic of it.

Heather W - Polaroid

This polaroid is made entirely out of words. I varied the words I was using and the colors and added some shadows for the buttons and the knob. I really liked the way it came out. I worked hard on it and changed specific letters to give it a three dimensional feel.

Devin T - Soccer Game Huddle

This is a picture I took before a Spain Park Boys’ soccer game as they huddled. I like this photo because of its natural feel given off from the picture. The group seemed focused and ready which was a good time to take a picture of them. This picture is for my photojournalism project, and it is my favorite picture from the project. Unfortunately, I had to zoom in all the way to get a close up of the players so the photo is grainy.

Matt L - Colorado Sunset

I took the picture of the mountains in Colorado. The picture of the sunset came from Lake Martin with the levels adjusted. I think it looks cool with the two pictures put together. 

Matthew S - Running

I title this photo “Running.” I took this photo at a track at a middle school. I created this image by having my friend run past the camera and i took the photo while he was in mid stride. I like the overall colors of the photo and how it has the washed out type look to it. I would try to get a clearer shot of my friend running and a mored blurred out back ground.

Giliian E - Subject Motion Blur

This is a picture (subject motion blur) I took of Mallory spinning in a circle.

Jack S - Tennis Freeze

I took this photo at the Spain Park tennis courts, it is an action shot. I like this photo because you can see the tennis ball right before he is about to hit a backhand. If i were to take this photo differently I would make the background less busy.

Hunter F - Surrealism

This picture is from my surrealism project and it was the first one. I used these photos off the internet, but I still like the way that this project turned out. This project took me a while to figure out all the certain details, but I think the final product was really good. I think that if I could change something about this picture, I would have to do different people for each character in the image. 

Lauren J - Warhol

This is my Warhol picture. This is a picture of my two best friends Marie and Jason. I really like this picture because I love the colors I chose and it looks really cool.

Jazmain H - Max

The image that I used for this assignment is a picture from off the Instagram of one of my favorite drag queens Max, who is now on season 7 of Rupaul’s Drag Race. What I like about the project is that I did it so that the words are not all the same size or font. If I could do the assignment over I would have liked to have a different picture, preferably one with different hair because I feel like it would have looked better.

Gracie S - Architecture

I took this picture at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. They had all these little red steel houses out in the courtyard and I thought they looked cool, so I took this picture. I like it because it leads your eye in the direction of the glass windows. I could have tried to get the people out of the background so it would be a clearer picture.

Noah P - Action

I took this photo before a basketball game. I really like how her leg’s got blurry in this picture. I wouldn’t do too much different than this picture because I like the way it turned out.

Jonah T - Subject Motion

I took this picture for the action photography project. To compose this picture I increased the shutter speed so that the camera would capture a longer period of time and I captured my little brother’s basketball team’s huddle. I like the picture because It’s really cool to see all of the team’s movements in one picture. 

Preston R - Portrait

My favorite picture taken was the one titled Portrait 1. It was taken in my yard, in the late afternoon. I edited it by adjusting the levels and colors, and i cropped it. It would have been better if the Red Sox sticker wasn’t on the truck. I like this picture because I really like the colors of the tree in the background. I wish I had taken the picture earlier in the day

Leah M - Colorado

I took this photo while I was visiting Colorado. I like it because I like how it looks like there is a reflection but there really isn’t and it uses the rule of thirds. I also just really really love Colorado. Like a lot. It probably could’ve been better but I was on top of a rock so I was trying not to fall. 

Hunter T - Person

i got this picture online, and just filled in his whole body with the actual word for that body part. I made one word of each body part bigger and kind of stand out then surrounded that word with multiple more in different sizes and slants. If i were to do this differently i would have just copied the one word multiple times instead of writing out each one, that would have made this project go by twice as fast.

Madelyn H - My Dog

I took this picture of my dog. i like to call her the most “photogenic” one out of the dogs i have. she is always ready to pose and smile for the camera. this is one of my favorites out of the ones I’ve taken.

Jordan D - Portrait

I chose this black and white picture because I love portraits. I also love the effect black and white adds to a picture. It usually make sit more serious and since my subject is making a serous face, I think it adds up nicely. I also like how unique this picture is because theres a scarf wrapped around her head. The whiteness of the scarf matches with the darkness of her eyes and lips really well. 

Jordan S - Portrait

I took this photo in my friend’s front yard. I like this photo because its main focus point is her face. If I were to change something about this photograph, I would have taken the photo with a less distracting background. With a less distracting background, the portrait would turn out better than it is. 

Rachel C - Fall Colors

This is a picture of my friend Kylie, I took it in Mt.Laurel. To edit the picture I increased the saturation and warmth to make the background colors pop. The reason I like this portrait is because there is a nice contrast of cool and warm colors. I love her expression and the way the fall colors complement her hair. 

Rebecca P - Surrealism

i took the picture of the girls while i was at the pumpkin patch. then i took the picture of the sidewalk and the sun out in the court yard. what i like about this picture is how they are walking into the sun holding hands. its cousin love forever. i would probably make the people more evident in the picture, instead of fading them out so much. This is my favorite picture, because they are my friends and i just thought it captured their relationship really well. :)))))) 

Khari N - Dog

I took this photo in the middle of my room after giving my dog a bath. I like the quality of this image and how good he came out to look. If i could go back and make something different about this picture, it would be to catch him with his tongue out because everyone likes those kind of pictures where the dog has its tongue out. My boy was bad at a point but now i think he gets the gist.   

Josh T - Hawk

This image is a typographical image of a hawk. I found the initial picture on Google Images. To create the hawk, I used a text layer, then converted it to a shape layer. I then manipulated this shape to fit the body composition of the hawk. If I could, I would go back and try to make each tip on the hawk’s wings more uniform. 

Mary Katherine C - I Believe in Nashville

This photo was taken in Nashville, Tennessee. (shocking I know) I like this picture because its  picture of art so kind of like art.. of art. I like the patriotic colors and how it really adds emphasis to the plain white wall. If I had the opportunity to retake the photo I would of taken the picture with it more centered and better lighting. All in all I love this photo, and Nashville. 

Olivia J - Michaela

This is a picture I took of my friend Michaela at Aldridge Gardens. I like this picture because all the colors tie the picture together in a really cool way. If I could take this picture again I would make the lighting better so she didn’t have a shadow on one side of her face. 

Marvin T - Pathway

I took this photo at Moss Rock with my family. We just decided to go hiking in the afternoon, then i found this pathway, which i liked for some reason. I guess i like this picture because I did not  know where the path might take me. Also there were some pretty sights along the path. If i were to change something it would be to capture more variety and not be to plain and boring. 

Madeline E - Wreath

This Picture was taken when fall first started. It was a door decoration wreath and it was really pretty and i think it turned out really good with the iron door behind it. I took this picture at my house on a pretty sunny day with perfect weather

Sara S - Sunset

I took this photo over spring break when i was at the beach. I loved how tranquil the waves were and how the sunset reflected on the ocean. I did no edits on this photo because I thought it was perfect the way it was. 

Morgan L - Alabama

This was my typography 2 assignment. I decided to make the state of Alabama made up of the word and of the cities in their places. I worked very hard to make this as geographically correct as possible, while also trying to make it creative.

Sarah A - Water Lily

I took this photo at the koi pond in the outlet mall outside of Hobby Lobby. I really like how the picture turned out and I love the colors. the lily is set in the rule of thirds which makes it looks a little better instead go it being in the center. the lily brings out the color in the picture while the lily pads and leaves are mostly green and brown. Another reason why i like this photo is because the sun was not shining that day so i was able to get a better result. This is my favorite picture that i have ever taken. 

Merritt H - Freeze

I took this picture in the woods behind my house on a rainy.  It was kinda difficult to get my sister to go outside and get her to jump in the water numerous times, but it turned out well so I don’t feel bad about it.  I like how her converse stand out against the other colors and how the water is easily seen.  This is probably one of my most favorite pictures I’ve taken. 

Olivia N - Brothers

I took this photo in Jacksonville, AL. I like this picture because of the vibrancy of the colors. If I could have done something differently, I would have taken the picture at a closer distance instead of me having to crop the picture that I did now. I would also get rid of the light in the left corner. 

Rebekah C - Dandelion

I took this picture at my farm by picking a dandelion and holding it up to the sun so that the sun was behind it and the flower would glow. I like the picture because it’s my favorite flower and I like the way the sun looks behind the flower. It could have been better if I took the picture with my camera instead of my phone. 

Morgan P - Mia

This is a picture of my puppy Mia. She is a Cavapoo and is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. I took this picture in my Tita’s (grandma) backyard. I had my camera with me and we just played around a little bit. I love this picture because it shows her adorable little face and her attraction to the camera. 

Olivia S - Converse in Leaves

I chose this picture particularly because i loved the black and white photo project.It also shows a lot of detail in the leaves and the converse stand out a lot. I took this photo in my front yard, but i think i could have made the picture more interesting if i zoomed in or had a different back ground.

Summer S - Pan

I took this photo at school in the hall by the windows and had my friend run across the hall. I followed her with the camera as she ran and this is what happened. While editing the photo, I messed with the curves and levels. If I could change anything, I would go back and try to retake this photo because of the darkness on the right side.
