i really like this set. colors are really vibrant. good use of b&w and color, imho. the blue really works with it. i think my fav is the one where its all blurred.

the only thing i would do is either wash your car, or fix all the spots if they are rock chips or something like that in the B&W pic of the front close up.

It's clean, trust me. I drive it on the freeway everday so it has a lot rock chips. Need to have the bumper resprayed.

But anyway, much appreciated!
Anything else you or anyone else would recommend?
I really want to get a DSLR and a tripod, but college owns my wallet.

A simple Panasonic point and click. The model is the DMC-FX01. Nice point and click, but I'm looking for a bit more.

theres something off about the windows in the 1st pic maybe your blue is bleeding into the interior or your color on the house seen through it is just a touch off of what the rest of the background is but I can't place my finger on it... other than that I agree with FBG, it is a very nice set.

It's more than likely when I edited it with photoshop that did that. Around the windows was a hard part for me to do without getting the interior as well.

But your kind words and criticism is appreciated.

i see what you mean, the interior is unusually blue.

did you adjust the color balance on it at all or the contrast? to make the blue pop more? that might have done it. you could go in and select the really blue parts of the interior and pull some of the color out. you know, depending if you were bored or obsessed w/ editing. just a suggestion.

I just cropped that area and added a black and white filter. Left the color balance and contrast alone. Adjusting those is too complicated for me.

The interior is grey, and when the sun catches the window it does have a slight blue tint to it, so it may have factory blue-ish tinting.

Would one of you mind editing the blue out of the window area so I could get an idea of what to do? I'm not really sure how to go about removing color, besides a black and white filter. I do have photoshop cs3 and macromedia fireworks 8, if any of you are familiar with those and could walk me through it.

I had a feeling... BMW's grey interior is usually a cool grey so it picks up the blue tones really easily.

plus its probably mixing with reflection of the blue sky off the windows
