Usually, Contest Corner Challenges are all about taking a photo with a specific theme. Contest Corner Challenge #62: Before & After, however, is a little different. There’s no theme - no specific subject that you have to photograph. Instead, you have to take two photographs of something - anything. One before blank and one after blank. The blank can be anything you choose. So instead of taking and submitting one photograph, you have to take and submit two photographs,

One of the things that inspired the theme for this contest is the fact that we have two sponsors. Our first sponsor is AutoFX Software - one of the largest developers of Adobe Photoshop plug-ins in the market. And we have a repeat sponsor in Think Tank Photo - a group of designers and professional photographers focused on studying how photographers work, and developing inventive new carrying solutions to meet their needs (use code WS-171 to receive a free bag with every order over $50!). If the winner is a Premiere Member, they will receive the Mystical Bundle (Mystical Lighting and Mystical Tint Tone & Color - a $299 value) courtesy of AutoFX Software and a Digital Holster 30 (a $69 value) courtesy of Think Tank Photo. If the winner is not a Premiere Member, they will receive DreamSuite Series Two (a $149 value) courtesy of AutoFX Software and a Digital Holster 10 (a $45 value) courtesy of Think Tank Photo.
