Wintermod in SoCal

It's rains a lot but that's pretty much it. I washed and waxed the car and then decided to test the new camera I got for Xmas. Enjoy

nice pics what camera did you shot it with ?

[J.Drama]

Canon Rebel T3. Shots are unedited as well. I need to purchase some photo editing software. Any suggestions??

[m/w]

Lightroom or Photoshop should do just fine. Awesome car, by the way.

It rained yesterday.LOL,car looks good though,
I would loose the rack.the fairing looks cheap and too small.

[J.Drama]

It only rained up here at 6pm and it was already in the garage by then.

As far as the rack I actually use it to transport my bike. I'm not one to just have it on there for "the look".

oo you garage it.....i see.if you ride bmx you know you can just turn your bars all the around and the bike will slide in backwards,in the rear seat?if you ride dirt i understand,the rack,but for street/park

What year/kind of focus isnthat and does it have an oem lip kit ? Love it so much, my first car was a focus so I have a soft spot for them and yours is amazing in my opinion I would buy one like that in a heartbeat. I think the roof rack takes away from the body lines too much though.

Love your Focus, great execution of OEM+ there

Regarding Lightroom vs. Photoshop:
Lightroom and Photoshop are meant for different end users. Lightroom is for workflow and photo editing. Photoshop is for photo editing and major image manipulation.

Lightroom takes all of the typical photoshop image adjustments and turns them into sliders for ease of use. It can adjust white balance, exposure, levels, sharpening, split toning, cloning, dodging and burning (really any localized adjustment), graduated neutral density filters, etc. All the typical image adjustments plus cloning.

What it can't do are layers, so you can't, say, put a different set of a wheels on your car, or adjust the ride height, or replace the sky in your pictures.

Lightroom is a lot more easily accessible and costs considerably less. It's aimed at photographers who need software to help them categorize and archive their pictures and do all of the typical image adjustments. Photoshop is aimed at professionals. Having not taken any courses on photography or photoshop in college, I can definitively say that Lightroom is easier to learn, but photoshop will probably still give better results if you take the time to master it.

Edit: no matter which you go with make sure you get the student discount. It's MASSIVE for either product. If you aren't a student, find one.

I mountain bike mostly. I also go to the beach a lot an have a beach cruiser when I go body boarding.

This is a 2009 Ford Focus SES fully load with everything except a moonroof. It's not an OEM lip. It's actually a 3dCarbon lip kit made specifically for the Ford Focuses. I agree, the rack takes way from the car but I use it 3-4 days out of the week.

I'm looking into both right now. Thanks for the input.
