    What exactly are HDRs?

    HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. Its a photographic technique that produces some stunning colors as well as brings out extensive details in photos. The way it works is you take 3 identical photos at different exposures, combine them together, and then tonemap the resulting image. Each exposure picks up on different colors and details of the image that the others miss, so combining them together highlights a lot of detail that is normally lost in an image.

    As you can see the photos often look like paintings with the colors and detail

    I’m 99.9% sure he’s not. This family owns many restaraunts in the Madison area.

    I also very highly doubt it. I’ve talked to Gus from Gus’s in East Troy a few times and he’s a car guy so obviously would know the protocol to follow when dealing with cars. Also, the cruise nights in East Troy have been highly successful for many years and if such behavior were going on there that wouldn’t be the case

    Interesting indeed. If you’re going to pay premium for a limited edition (and thinking its an investment because of the rarity), I can see why it would upset you to find its only half as rare now

    I’ll be on vacation in New York this weekend so no shows for me. I’ll try and make it to QSL on thursday and see what’s going on there. I plan on GoodGuys next weekend. I look forward to hearing how the shows are this weekend!

    Sounds great, thanks a bunch guys for doing this! If you have any photos from other shows you can send those too. The wider-variety of shows we have represented in the Photo Gallery, the better of a resource it will be

    I went from about 7:45PM to after 8 and there were about 80-90 cars I would say. It also appeared that some were leaving when I was driving in and more kept coming so I’d say they broke 100 overall for unique cars throughout the night.

    I was very impressed with the 38 Packard and original Cobra, very nice cars! I took some pics and will have them up soon.
