Badass camera Eric. Saving money to get a 14-24 f/2.8… So much $$$

raised exposure, brigthness and fill light. lowered highlights and lights to balance out. raised the blue color saturation to bring the car out.

Sweet, Phillip. More opportunities to make us lust over your car now. I don't know if you shoot RAW, but if you are not, you are losing a lot of information from that little moment. At least RAW+JPG. Once you're comfortable enough with Lightroom, you can go back, tweek the raw files for better post-processing results than jpeg, and polish those moments you captured.

I was trying to figure out how to edit the sun because it was blowing out the pic.

At least in LR5, Right-hand side below the Histogram (default settings). I mostly use the brush on the far right. They're masks.
