Reflections

Michael C.

This picture is called Reflections because of the reelection of the stump in the water. I took this photo at my lake house in Alexander City. It is my favorite because of the lighting and how the sunlight highlights some parts of the log and drapes the other parts in a rich shadow. I did not edit this photo in any way.  

Point of View

Molly P.

I took this photo in my front yard when I was outside reading. I really like this picture because of the angle at which the trees are shown. I feel like it is really detailed but simple at the same time. To edit, I activated the antique effect and added a Vignette shadow around the edges. 

Clavos

Luis E.

I took this picture in my kitchen; it is a wall filter for my DSL service. i cropped it to where you can only see the nail and and then i made copies of it the put them together until I formed a tessellation. I used a filter and made the photo grayscale 

Space Zoom

Natalie S.

This picture was taken of christmas lights in front of my house. I selected only the pinks and blues of the christmas lights and then made a tessellation of it using photoshop.

Feathers

Molly R.

 I took this picture at the zoo over the summer. To make the tessellation, i took a triangle of a peacock's body. I like this picture because it is up close and captures the details in the peacock's feathers. I didn't enhance this picture at all to create the tessellation. 

Bella

Joanna W.

This is a combination of two pictures. The first was taken of my friend Katelyn in the courtyard while she was studying Spanish. The second is a leaf I found outside the school on the side walk. I put a copy of the leaf image on  top of the picture of Katelyn and decreased the opacity so that both images can be seen. Then I just messed with the curves and saturation to create more contrast. This image is my favorite because I like Katelyn's position and the fact that it was a candid photo. I also like the way the leaf blends in with the tree and makes the whole image look kind of faded and natural. I titled the image Bella because it means beautiful in spanish.  

College

Julianne F.

This photo was taken on the Mississippi State campus, where I'm going to college this fall. It is my favorite because I love how well my jump is captured and that it's not blurry.  To edit this photo, I straightened, cropped, and changed it to black and white on iPhoto. In Photoshop, I used the Clone Stamp to fill in where my sweatshirt flew up and showed my stomach. 

Fire

Megan R.

This image was taken of a small candle. The clarity of the wick stands out against the fire making it very interesting. I edited this photo by cropping it and using very natural edits. 

Bricks

Mallory A.

This photo was taken at my house a few months ago. I really like this photo because i love the different colors in it and how one brick is in focus but the rest are blurry. I enhanced the photo and changed the levels of exposure and saturation. 

Hands

Haley B.

This photo was taken in the classroom for the portrait project. It's my favorite because it looks unique. 

The only edits I did on this photo was put it in black and white and boosted the color. 

Close Up

Courtney F.

This picture was taken at my house.I really like it because its sort-of different. I like how it is in focus, and its blurry. I cropped this picture, and changed the saturation a little.

Door

Christopher J.

This is an old photo i took through the glass on my front door. I like how it is half blurry and half clear. I edited this photo by increasing the brightness.

Nature

Damaris G.

This is a picture of a pinecone. I took this outside my house on one the snow days. It's my favorite because of the angle i took it from and how clear it is. I enhanced the picture and made it black and white then made the outsides blurred. 

Caught Up in an Ice Storm

Brittany M.

This photo was taken on my deck during the ice storm that we had in January. I really like the detail of the ice and the leaf that is frozen in the ice. I also like the clarity of the image too.  I edited this photo by increasing the definition and sharpness a little bit and I increased the contrast just a little too.

Chicago

Ashleigh W.

This picture was taken in Chicago last summer. It's one of my favorites because it's very peaceful and it turned out this way with hardly any editing.  I enhanced the photo in iPhoto and boosted the color once.

Trees

John David

This was edited using iPhoto.

Toms

Stephanie S.

First I took a picture of my Toms and then I took a separate picture of my peace sign and I merged the two pictures together to create this image. To edit this image I played around with the coloring and adjusted the brightness and contrast.

Black and Silver

Shahbaaz N.

The liquified background made this picture look interesting. The background was actually a apartment and the darkest portion in the upper right corner is the sky. I had made the car look as if it doesn't know where to go. I use the quick selection tool around the car. Then I used the gradient map for the background and make it look like silver and black. Then I used the liquify tool and made it look amazing.  

Winter

Hannah M.

This picture was taken by the lake at the end of my street. I like this picture because it was snowing outside, and the water on the trees were frozen. I also like this picture because it shows how peaceful outside was even though it was below freezing. I edited this picture by changing the contrast and brightness a little. I didn't do much but I still like this picture a lot.
