Ok! Time to Swing in for the first comp of 2006!

The Theme as Decided By Potatis who had the honour deffered to him from Rokkstar:
:

This means that those who have joined pretty much from today and onwards will be ineligible to enter this current comp unless you get that post count up and attend a DSLR Users function of sorts by the time the due date rolls around.
