This is a photo thread, not an internet rumor thread. I guess every forum has 'them'.

ZOMG those are fantastic, I've still yet to attempt fireworks.

Great fireworks pics! I attempted fireworks. Nothing to see/post here.

Thanks guys. Pretty simple to shoot, actually. I have a remote shutter cable so I literally just lied on the ground, used my gear bag as a pillow, and had the shutter open for a little while.

Same deal for lightening (though these were shot hand-held, I'll have to try again next storm)

New Toy:




I was looking for a new OBDII reader. The old one I was using was a USB ElmScan which required a laptop and software to pull codes. On top of that the software I had from Elm didn't run on Mac so I had to run a virtualized XP box inside my Mac and bring it out to the car I was working on.

Picked up this "Ultra-Gauge". First off, not bad on price, $79 shipped, and it has a 9 dollar rebate that I have yet to fill out so it'l be $70 in the end. It will read codes and clear them. but the best part is when you'e not using it to pull codes you can use it as a gauge to display whatever OBDII value you can get from the interface. Unfortunately the options are a little limited, but I like having my IAT displayed that way next time my aftercooler pump conks out I might actually notice . The display is a little washed out in the pics, but it's actually very easy to read in both night and day.

Interesting little piece of hardware and now I have a very portable OBD code reader.

That's pretty cool Kenta.

Very nice toy! Tempting to pick one up at that price. That's really good and able to customize your display/set alarms etc. that's very cool.
