I Like Werner's idea too... Contrasts can be a simple as night and day, sweet and sour, boy and girl..

So lets give everyone a few days to gather their plans.

For the month of April CONTRASTS is the suggestion I would select

It sounds like we have a consensus. On to the hunt!

And thanks, Werner, for some clarification!

sounds good.. contrasts it is. I had to laugh at myself.. see, I'm a very literal person and laughed when I read "simple as night and day, .." and heard my inner voice say, yeah ok how ya gonna do that?! LOL but then the creative muffled voice said, oh there are ways! still struck me funny. ;)

LOL really? hope I don't dream about how to photograph night and day at the same time hehe.. then again it would be good for me to be creative!
My goal this month is to have fun with photoshop, but I won't 'create' the contrast image, just enhance or tweak the heck out of it.. but the subject will be photographed first for real, not make collages.. that's my goal.

My inner voice won't shut up.. hope we both get some sleep tonight! :)

This might be a little too restrictive but I found a list of contrasts, Itten's Contrasts, on this site that will help anyone who is struggling with the idea.

http://www.simdavis.com/2009/01/practice-ittens-contrasts/

By coincidence, there happens to be exactly 30.

BUT there are plenty others that are not included in this list that have been mentioned in this thread.

I think I will try this. As I've mentioned, I combine the challenge when I do it with my PAD gallery. I had decided I might not be strictly doing a photo a day because with the film, the developing, the printing, the matting and photoshopping with digital, photography is getting very time consuming. So I'll join in when I can. It sounds interesting.
