Description:

After much success with Photo-A-Day I thought to celebrate April we would have a month long Photo-A-Day Swap.

This is a commitment to take 30 unique photos in the month of April from the prompts below – one for each day of the month. The goal is to be creative, think outside of the box and share your photos (and your life!) through a month worth of photos.

Listed below is a list of 40 prompts, each photographer can interpret the themes as they see fit, and can choose the theme that fits them best. However, each them can only be used once.

Your goal for this swap is to take one photo, one for each day of the month using one of the themes below. At the end of the swap, send them all seven photos to your partners identifying the theme that you chose for that day. (For example April 1st – theme: animal, picture: my dog, April 2nd – theme: colour, picture: local café)

At the end of the swap (By May 2nd), you will email the photos to your five partners – you may wish to use an online photo hosting site such as Photobucket or Flickr. Alternatively, maybe put together a slide show or weekly collages.

Yay! I'm happy to see this one is month-long and hope lots of people sign up! My schedule gets a bit busier in April (especially on weekends), so I was worried I might not be able to join for fear of late swaps!

@tweetyiscool29 - many said it was tight getting the photos out in a week. So I thought we would try something a little different!

Love the idea, watching for now, but I was wondering, since we're supposed to take a pic per day, would it be okay to make the sent by-date the following Sunday (for example) just to get everything organized in the few days between and not have to do that right on the last day?

Hey there! Same as the previous comment, I'm watching for now and would like to know if you could move the date until next Sunday so we can all have time to send the pics and put them together in an album.

And about the sign up date.....if the deadline is April 1st, that means the partners will be ready to be sorted out by April 2nd. I guess it doesn't matter since we're still going to take the pics, regardless of who's our partner, but just a friendly observation.

Great idea, love photo challenges!

@liveve308 - I switched the send by date to be May 2nd - which is a Saturday. Hopefully that helps some of the watchers, and gives. I won't push it back further as I hope to have a May Challenge up as well.

@milamilamura - Yes, sign up day is April 1st, to give people that as the last chance, I try and assign partners ASAP, and since this is really a "senders choice" theme, it won't effect the sender that much, just make sure to take a photo on April 1st.

Sorry, I can't join this one. I enjoyed the weekly March swaps a lot. I'll be traveling on May 2 and don't know if I could get the photos sent,mjhaertling@gmail.com

Love the idea. I'm with you in the group Write Now, and I'd love to see something similar in that group.

We will be taking a break in May - starting weekly swaps once more in June
