Bobby, you always take the best photos. I wish i had your photography skills. Do you edit them before you post, or do they just come out like that?

Haha, thanks man! I appreciate that! And yes, for the most part my pictures are edited. That last shot by those trees was taken with my iPhone 4S and edited using an app called "Snapseed." It has a lot of different features and tools, and once you get the hang of it, it's one of the best editing apps out there. As for my real camera photos, I shoot with a Canon 60D, so I have some great images to work with (for example, check out my Caffeine and Octane coverage from this past weekend here, all of these photos are unedited), and I use Adobe Lightroom to edit those. It's always been a hobby of mine and I want to learn more and pursue it more than I do now. Just start taking photos at different angles, try to find cool backgrounds, or replicate photos you see online or in car magazines, that's how I learned! And since I don't always have the DSLR, I have 3 folders of photography apps on my phone to mess with, haha. Just have fun with it!

Nice! Thanks for the editing tips. I have a Canon Rebel T3 that I have no idea how to use properly lol, and I never edited any pics before. I need to get some apps for my android. Hopefully the next pics I post on this forum will be much better.

Messing around with plasti dip. This is the result of a matte white base coat and copper metalizer. Not sure what happened but it came out a dull gold almost light yellow. At least I can just peel it off.

Damn, still have snow in Minnesota? It's 91 degrees in Washington, DC today. Here's a photo from my work parking lot earlier today. Nothing new, still haven't put on my fujin rear lip and sides yet.

Close up of my brakes, lugs, and custom center caps that I made.

I used what came in the wheel kit. It came with 4 cans of the white base and 3 cans of the metalizer. I essentially used 1 can of white on each wheel and 1.5 cans of metalizer on each size because I did them 2 at a time.
