Tag Challenge XXVII (27)

February 16th, 2012
It is time for Tag Challenge #27!

Make sure to note the entry dates: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday February 16 - February 19.

This is how it works:

Go to the "Browse" section and then to the "By Tag" 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 Thursday February 16th to Sunday February 19th 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 whoever's idea it was to post a link to find out. GMT is the white line in the middle: http://www.worldtimezone.com/

Tag your entries as "tag-challenge27" 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 Monday, February 20th. The winner will be announced Tuesday, February 21st. That person will host the next challenge!

Thank you so much Caryn - @cmc1200 for selecting me as a finalist and to all of you who voted for my shot of DOG and CITY. I had not done a tag challenge before last week, and I tagged it wrong, so it never got properly entered! and now I'm loving it and just a bit hooked! It gets you thinking more creatively! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this week!

OK I just got DOG and BLACK & WHITE...hmmmmmmmm I would have to go looking for a dog lol, tho there is a lady with a gorgeous huge b&w dog around here!
February 16th, 2012
Even though I am choosing the 5 finalists, I thought I would do the tag challenge just for fun, if the opportunity should arise. I got MACRO and KID. =)

Football and Road, i wonder how many kids i can get squashed setting this one up
February 16th, 2012
I figured I would try and make myself think outside the box. My tags are blue and hands .. could be interesting..
February 16th, 2012
Mine are night and selfie. Should be good.
February 16th, 2012
I've never done one of these before either, so I think I might try. I've got park and buildings. Here goes...
February 16th, 2012

I am the worst picker ever. I've yet to catch one of my strange picks. This week: kitten rain, which seems so doable, except that I don't have a cat and never see a stray one around here. At least, I get to enjoy the great photos you all put up every week!!

I'm going to try this - Got Colour and Grass - should be fun.
February 16th, 2012
@swguevin -- If you really don't think you can do that one, try again! Don't let that stop you from the challenge. Try again, just don't peek! For example: I don't have young kids and that can be tough, lots of parents don't want you to photograph their children. And I picked MACRO and KID. If you want, I'll pick two for you?!

So I had a bit of fun today and ended up with a Tag Challenge Story, bear with me ;)

The tag challenge this week I got Football and Road.
The definition of 'Football' depends entirely on where you live. Rugby isn't generally refered to as Football but it can be called Footy on occasions.
My first thought (rather obviously) was my foot-ball on the road, duh. very boring so processed the life out of it.



I then thought, hmm, rather than football and road, maybe road and football might be better ...
My footballs are now a road in carnage, its the scene of a bus crash! A traffic jam is forming behind the accident!!



The accident scene is now cleared and there is a sense of rush hour gridlock as all the cars crawl along as the road clears

@emjay8 --creative thinking!
February 18th, 2012
Ok, here's mine! First try at doing the tag challenge! I got kitchen and morning, so here is our office kitchen, in the morning. Coffee time!

Come on everyone! Let's get some tag challenge photo's up! We have today and tomorrow to do this and it's the weekend, let's get clickin'!!

I have my niece today, so I should be able to get some shots of her. I picked MACRO and KID. Most times, it's hard to get close ups of kids you don't know...parents are cautious...and rightfully so!

"spring" and "animal"
February 18th, 2012
I got Book and Chocolate!
February 19th, 2012
This was all but a failure of a challenge for me, but at least I didn't entirely give up! My tags were trees and Christmas. I managed to work it into my daily journal by having a finger painting session with the kiddos.

February 19th, 2012
@emjay8 like your creativity and execution!

@rockinrobyn thanks Robyn :) good job on getting a christmas tree done :)
February 19th, 2012
Good job everyone, we only have a THREE more hours for entries to be submitted!

I am not eligible, but took the challenge anyway. I am using a point and shoot at the moment and (a damaged one at that!) so I did what I could....I got MACRO and KID.



February 19th, 2012
If allowed, I'm taking a stab at my tags (Christmas + trees) again, because the last photo I posted was just too lame, even for a novice like me!

February 19th, 2012
@rockinrobyn - I think it's allowed, numerous entries prior to the cut off time (2 hrs from now) are allowed!

Flowers & Outdoors

Forgot to tag, if it's too late, no matter
February 19th, 2012
I got DOG and CAT. Hopefully it is not too late to submit an entry. If it is, oh well, I had fun, and I'll do it right the next time.
February 19th, 2012
I got GREEN and DOG.
February 19th, 2012
@crazyhorse2008 @pngmeri @wenbow

You have until 7 EST. One hour from now! Make sure you tag it properly!
February 19th, 2012
February 19th, 2012
mine was "nature" and "flowers" :D yea! So my entry is the itty bitty Australian Orchid blossom.
February 19th, 2012
I forgot to check the time. so this is what I came up with for blue and hands.


February 20th, 2012
The challenge is now closed!
February 20th, 2012
Of course I could not submit my image as my internet was down over the weekend and only picked up the image on Saturday. All of last weeks images will be added at lunchtime. This is the image I took anyway.
