I would've had a few more but some of the stuff was encased in glass and I still don't have a polarizing filter The reflections were ugly.

Anyway, thank you for the compliment. I like to think of myself as a talented photo hack

Great pictures, Sledge.

Is there any way you could use a photo-editing program to remove the unsightly reflection effects from some of the pictures of glass-enclosed displays?

It was a special opportunity to meet other hybriders in person. We went to an International Auto Show, but a meeting could be just for a picnic or something.

I must agree, those are some professional quality pictures there! Thanks again for the tickets!

It was nice to see all the hybrids, and cars, but it was just as cool to meet fellow boardmembers and hybrid owners.

In the summer, perhaps we can use the MI roll call thread to organize a picnic, though I will steadfastly refuse to organize that.

No problem.

Actually, not having pictures of those posting adds spice (and a touch of mystery) to the forum.

And now we know who we are.
