Tag Challenge XXV!

January 31st, 2012
It is time for Tag Challenge #25!



ENTRY TIME IS CLOSED!
Time to pick the finalists hmmmm...!!!



Make sure to note the entry dates... Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday (February 1 - February 4).

This is how it works:

Go to the "Browse" section and then to the "By Tags" page. Close your eyes and pick a tag. Do it again (no peeking) and now you have your assignment! You can now take one picture that encompasses your two randomly chosen tags! Please clearly state the name of the two tags that you picked when you post your entries so we know what your assignment was.

You may enter this four-day challenge from Wednesday February 1st to Saturday February 4th until midnight GMT. Entries must have been taken and uploaded during these times only! Entries outside of the date range will not be accepted. Don't know when midnight GMT is where you are? Me either, I like whomever's idea it was to post a link to find out, GMT is the white line in the middle:

Tag your entries as "tag-challenge25" so I can find them, and feel free to share them in this thread so everyone can see!!


I'll choose 5 finalists and voting will begin on Sunday February 5th. The winner will be announced Monday February 6th, and then hosts the next challenge!

Thanks to everyone who voted for me last week, it was my first win, yay! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this week.

As an example, this was my entry for my random tags I picked, 'Camera' and 'Self Portrait':


Good luck everyone!! :D

Ok I just tried to see what I'd get this time, And I got off kind of easy again, 'Colorado' and 'Summer' haha...I just so happen to be in Colorado & tho it's not summer that can't be too hard to fake. Nothing very creative is popping into my head tho, hmmmm???
February 1st, 2012

February 1st, 2012

February 1st, 2012
@tamsg4 - This going to be so much fun - I have a few ideas as well!!
question - do we have to use the same tags for the course of the 4 days or can we switch things up and each day get new random topics
February 1st, 2012
@shawnacadwell You can enter as many times as you like!!
February 1st, 2012

February 2nd, 2012
It'll be so easy to pick finalists with 3 entries!! ;-P
February 3rd, 2012
Here's mine. Leaves-Door. This is what I came up with. I only do point and shoot and haven't gotten into any of the photo-shop stuff.

February 3rd, 2012
@kjphotogirl Ha! Clever! ;)
February 3rd, 2012
@kjphotogirl Very creative!
February 3rd, 2012
I picked ice and metal for my tags -- too easy for here in Maine -- in the winter!
I don't want this photo as part of my 365 -- can I pick a different day (from last year, since I just started a month ago?) Can I delete it after I enter the challenge? How does that work?
@tamsg4

February 3rd, 2012
I picked ICE and METAL --

February 3rd, 2012
@kjphotogirl -- Do you have a wreath you could attach leaves to? You could then hang it on a door. But I think your idea was very creative!
February 3rd, 2012
@mainebrighteyes I thought of that, but I don't have a wreath. Thought about just sticking the leaves to my door. This was easier, and I could walk away and not clean up!
Thanks Everyone else too!!
February 3rd, 2012
@mainebrighteyes Well I'm certainly no expert I've only been around here a month too lol, but yeah I think you can put it in an old slot & delete once it's over!
February 3rd, 2012
@tamsg4 -- I just did anyway, LOL (I put it for the this day, last year!) Thanks! Can we do more than one? I might want to try more words, cause the ones I got weren't too much of a challenge!
February 3rd, 2012
OK, so I just did it again (for fun) and got purple (actually clicked on it! LOL) and woods. THAT should be interesting....
February 3rd, 2012
@mainebrighteyes Yes absolutely! Purple woods huh? Hmmmmmm lol!?!
February 4th, 2012

February 4th, 2012
My clumsy and creepy attempt at "glass" "texture." Taken through opaque shower glass...

The thought was someone drowning under ice. Cheerful!

February 4th, 2012
@bcryan It looks cool!
February 4th, 2012
night + water
February 4th, 2012
@melee09 Oooohhh nice reflection!
February 4th, 2012
@tamsg4 thank you!!
February 4th, 2012
'love' and 'rocks' Unfortunately, my loving parents wouldn't air guitar for me.. really wish I could have gotten that! Gotta go for second best ;)

February 4th, 2012
@ashmy Awwww cute!
February 4th, 2012
Wow, I *got* it! my tags of PURPLE and WOODS, amazing!!

Urban Woods

This photo was taken (and I almost missed it!) for the Tag Challenge XXV. I picked the tags PURPLE and WOODS. I had a couple of ideas in mind, but would not be able to do them until Saturday and that is a very full day for me!
As I went about the Art Walk tonight, I saw so many beautiful things....and took various photos. One art gallery had a fabulous display in the window of purple light on broken glass and white ceramics. After we picked up take out Thai, we were in the car heading home. We passed the library and I have been wanting to photograph it during the day....but the street is always so busy! I just *had* to circle around the block. I really liked the RED light streak I saw....and when I got back around, it was GREEN! Then BLUE! and THEN PURPLE! I had my challenge!! The etching on the glass is a "play on woods" here; books and/or trees/woods, especially since books used to be trees.....books are Urban Woods. Processed Trees.

SOOC other than the frame/name.

February 5th, 2012
@cmc1200 Nice!


And I guess time's up...time to pick only 5 of you, tough choices!!! :-O
February 5th, 2012
@mainebrighteyes I just realized after picking finalists that your pics weren't on the tag page where I was picking from!!! :-O
February 5th, 2012
@tamsg4 -- :( Did I use the wrong one?
February 5th, 2012
@mainebrighteyes Did you add it? They are there now I swear they weren't before!!
February 5th, 2012
@tamsg4 -- I did add it, because I had typed in the wrong thing (apparently) before. I thought putting it in this thread was also entering....LOL, did I tell you before how new at this I am?!
February 5th, 2012
@mainebrighteyes Hahaha I thought I was going crazy for a second!! :-O Ah well, you'll know for next week ;)
February 5th, 2012
:( I bet I woulda won.
