Update: Nick's Ford Focus ST

It's been hot as shit lately. But today was the first day I experienced a glimpse of seasons changing. I had to take advantage of the cloud weather. So I did. Nick just got his car washed, overcast present. It was a sign for me to shoot. We drove up to San Marcos/San Elijo's Double Peaks Park which overlooks San Marcos. Here are some of the settings. I used my strobe to fill in the dark shadows. All edits were done in Lightroom.

Check out my old post on it's stock days. It's changed a lot, performance and aesthetically. 

Like always, thanks for looking.

Nick Wong's Focus ST(ock)

My first friend, Nick Motherfuckin' Wong. Yeah, that guy. He had some cool cars in the past, started with a Mitsubishi Lancer, Mini Cooper S, Subaru WRX Wagon, Yamaha R6, and now a Ford Focus ST. Top of the line focus, still fairly new. What makes this better than a regular Focus? EVERYTHING. The only thing this probably shares is the body. Engine includes a sporty turbo, 6 gears, stiffer suspension, bigger brakes. Interior, Recarro seats, Microsoft SYNC touch screen, ST trim throughout the car to remind you that you're not in a regular Focus. A lot of subtle changes from a regular one. He just got it, it probably won't look like this again. Big plans for this car. Nick is one of those guys that enjoys tinkering with his toys. He is never satisfied, he needs to put himself outside the crowd. He's a hipster like that. I think he should of bought the Scion FR-S, but that's just me. Here are some of the shots. Not bad for a quick photo shoot after the rain. We basically just cleaned his wheels and windows. Other than that, his car was dirty as shit. Hopefully you can't tell.

Camera Info: Canon 40D, 28mm and 100mm. Canon 430ex for off camera fill. Synced with RadioPopper JrX. All shots edited through Lightroom 4.
