This is Glen's post at the top, just wanted to stick it somewhere we could find it again in the thread. Sorry Sheepie :oops:

I will be donating a prize for this comp, either a Wolf Eyes Sniper torch which has a blinding 100 lumens out the front end and 4-6 lumens with 24 hrs run time from the tail end or alternatively the same torch with a crennulated bezel (called a Defender) for those whose photography is in the rougher areas. A very handy torch for photography, these are small enough to fit into a bag (12cm or 13cm) with good output from the tail, but with a light bright enough to reach 50m or so into the darkeness or temporarily dazzle or disorientate an attacker if attacked. These are the sort of lights seen on shows like CSI or NCIS.

If anyone wants to donate a prize for any comp please don't hesitate to, just speak to Gary, Scott, etc

Looks like Scott's already worked out where his entry will be photographed ;)

After the quality of shots entered in our last challenge, I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this time round.[/img]

That is a disturbing series Leigh. However, I guess it must be said that one man's chop is another man's cherie.
