Thank you to everyone who voted for my entry (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!) and to those who participated in number 58. Also thank you, Nada, for hosting the last two challenges (even through Hurricane Sandy)!!
We would like to see more entries, it is hard to keep up with all the challenges on here, the tag is a fun and terrific way to get creative & find a bit of inspiration for your next shot especially if you are stuck for ideas.
It is easy to play, so tag! tag! tag!
TAG CHALLENGE 59 - NOTE THE NEW DATES that include a weekend.
Start of challenge: Monday, 5th November 12:00pm CST
End of challenge: Sunday, 11th November , 11:59pm CST
Voting starts: Monday, 12th November
Voting ends: Wednesday, 14th November, 11:59pm CST
How it works:
Go to the "Browse" section and then select the "By Tag" link. Close your eyes and randomly click on a tag. Do it again (and no peeking)! These two tags will become your photo assignment. You will then use your two randomly chosen tags as an inspiration to create one picture that encompasses both tags. Please CLEARLY state your two tags when you post your entries, as this will let me know what your assignment was. You may submit more than one entry.
For this challenge, if you chose a set of words that you feel it would be impossible to do anything with, rather than skip the challenge all together, you may opt for the host’s tag words of “LIFE ” and “BLUE” (selected randomly as above).
The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries The winner will host challenge #61 (to go along with the new date range).
Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge60 so that I can find them.
Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too.
NOTE - Photos must have been taken within the challenge time frame to be considered for a vote.
I have eyes and sunrise. Since I know I won't be getting up for a sunrise shot I would either have to have a creative play on words or go for the host words of life & blue. I hope to try it this round.
@myhrhelper -- Haha, I don't blame you! I always make "plans" for sunrise photos, but most days I am already busy getting my 6yr old on the bus and if it's on the weekend, there is just no way! You can choose one host tag and keep one of your original randomly choosen tags. Know anyone with Blue Eyes, lol?!
@joeymc - I can't wait to see what you come up with for that one! Sounds interesting!
@la_photographic Wow Laura that worked out perfect! I can't wait to see your push results - I know it will be good! I still have to go look to see if I have those sparklers,
@ekstazie --If you feel that it would not be possible, you can always swap out one of your words for one of the host words which are "Blue" or "LIFE"! Maybe BLUE and REFLECTION would be better? Thanks for joining us!
I might have a go, though I often attempt to and get rubbish tags! The host words might help me out if I get a bad combination this time I guess. It's better having a weekend in it. I'll go and select my words and see how I go.
@jtrudell --Don't forget that you can swap out one of your words for one of the hosts words which are "BLUE" & "LIFE". Might give you better options, but is completely up to you!
I like this idea and I'll try to get something. As for now I got an easy one: SELFPORTRAIT-SHADOW. Got ideas already. If I don't upload any photo's as from tomorrow I'll probably have fallen off something (lol).
@wenbow --Love that you had fun with this, but you are in no way ugly, just f.y.i!! :0) Glad to see that you have jumped in feet first and already got your pic!
I think I'll try this! I got fire + winter, which is a cool combination. Am I going to be able to do anything with it, that's a whole different matter. :)
Well, face and photography are proving a tougher challenge since I don't put my people pictures online. So, I am going to go with the host tags of "blue" and "life" since one of my pictures somewhat fits those tags already.
@joeymc Thank you for your suggestion! I did think about that, but the above image happened to come along. So, I went with it. It also fit the november-list which is something else I am trying to do.
I opt for the alternative words "blue" & "life". I originally had sunrise & eyes.
This is a BLUE SPRUCE TREE. It is alive (very little is alive outside where I live) and it always has tons of birds living in those trees all year round.
I hope this works. I'm running out of time since I will be gone over the weekend.
I had shadow and selfportrait and thought it would be an easy task, I already had some great ideas. I just forgot one little thing...One needs sunlight to get the shadows I wanted and we had grey dull weather every day. Finally got something I kind of like:
Tweets ahoy!

My tags were macro and nature. I don't own a macro lens but I hope using a wide aperture will be acceptable. :)
