Tag Challenge #76 Step right up and try your luck!

June 9th, 2013
Step right up, folks, and try your luck! The greatest little challenge on 365! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don’t be shy.

Here's 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 “Chocolate” and “Building” (selected randomly as above). Seriously, I didn’t cheat -- lit on chocolate randomly. Chocolate + Building…hmmm. You may want to stick with whatever fate gives you, though.

Start of challenge: Monday, June 10th, 2013, 00:00 US Central Daylight Time (CDT)
End of challenge: Monday, June 17th, 2013, 23:59 CDT
Voting starts: Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, 00:00 CDT
Voting ends: Thursday, June 20th, 2013 23:59 CDT

NOTE - Photos must have been taken within the challenge time frame to be considered for a vote.

The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries the winner will host challenge #77.

Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-76 so that I can find them – (heck, so that anyone who’s curious can find them. The more people looking, the better! They might be inspired to join in.)

Share your photos in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too.

AND around and around she goes – and where she stops, nobody knows! Ladies and gentlemen, your enjoyment and satisfaction are 100% guaranteed.

@wenbow I hope you have sunshiny weather this week.

@courtney13 I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Of course, at Kansas State University purple is our favorite color. :-)

Okay - just confused on this one -shoes (easy) film-lives (???) What the heck does that even mean? lol

I even looked through the pictures posted under film-lives and I can't find a pattern to them.

@iluvabcz Dawn, you have my sympathy. The moving hand of fate dealt you a tricky one. Actually, I just did a search and found discussion results (rather than photo results). I quote from the opening post on one of the threads:

"The 365 Film Club - Film Lives was set up on Flickr about 12 months ago to provide a forum for those using film and posting in this format for 365 users. It has also provided a way for 365ers to connect and build contacts on Flickr. Many of us have enjoyed the cameraderie (sic) fostered on 365, and the sharing our skills and experiences.

Though the 365 Film Club is ostensibly for posting images taken with film, ie. analogue rather than digital, all are welcome to join, start discussion and find friends and contacts. There is no hierarchy of moderators and administrators in this group, but instead everyone is equal."

Outdoors & Sunshine - hope it doesn't rain all week.

@pachelbel Bring your umbrella everywhere you go and you'll have sunny weather.

Ben
I got Pond and Children - though I also managed to click on the ads at the bottom more than any of the tags... :/
June 10th, 2013
Silhouette & Water. I'll see what I can do.
June 10th, 2013
Cake and dark! Looks like my son is in for a treat! After I'm done with it ofcourse.
June 10th, 2013
@benjamaphone :-) Bravo for your persistence in trying again and again until you had your tags. @la_photographic maybe you should get together with Ben and photograph children down at the pond in silhouette! How about that little "pond" separating your two locations.
June 10th, 2013
@ikamera Have fun!
June 10th, 2013
@mcsiegle that worked out well, blue and water! LOL
June 10th, 2013
@trudio Oh, man. You caught a break this time! I'm looking forward to seeing your photo (or photos).
June 10th, 2013
Abstract and wall. Hmmm.... so many ideas! :)
June 10th, 2013
@misterkitty Can't wait to see your ideas!

This sounds like fun and it will be my first challenge, as luck would have it, I chose Green + Sun.
I shall wrack my brain.
June 12th, 2013
@iluvabcz You could incorporate a film or a piece of, maybe as an interpretation. Good luck with you tags
June 12th, 2013
blue and face.. hhmmmmn
June 12th, 2013
@wenbow Wendy, I'm glad you're so practical. @iluvabcz Dawn, forget my instructive explanation of the 365 Film Club on Flickr. Just listen to Wendy. Film-lives -- sheesh!
June 12th, 2013
@semjaja Your profile pic looks like you are truly wracking your brain. Lots of folks getting some version of Sun for one of their tags. Oh, that reminds me -- it's been hot and sunny here today. I'd better go down and water the poor little flowers outside my front door -- so they stay green (your other tag!) Looking forward to your green-sun picture.
June 12th, 2013
@bristolrose My opinion? One word...woad. :-)
June 12th, 2013
@btorrey This is a really beautiful scene -- very well composed. I tried to read up on the explanation of the black card technique -- I get the gist of it, but it's a bit beyond my capabilities now -- not to mention the capabilities of my little Cybershot camera. Thanks for sharing it here. If you, indeed, shot this scene for that technique challenge and also this tag challenge, let us know what two words Lady Luck gave you to play with, and tag your photo "tag-challenge-76" so it's included among the results for a search on that tag.
June 12th, 2013
@mcsiegle Ha! Not sure how I managed to post it here...sorry. My shot was for CSC-27.
June 12th, 2013
@btorrey Your mistaken extra post was our gain. I might not have seen your lovely photo otherwise.

There's still time to join in here. Close your eyes and try your luck! You never know what two tags you'd get to play with.

tags sand and landscape

my tags were green and sun, got rain for the rest of the week so I really only had today to work with.
June 15th, 2013
Boy did I luck into this one. My tags are "wood" and "blue."

June 15th, 2013
this was freaky! I really and honestly shut my eyes and got GiRL REFLECTION!
June 15th, 2013
I'd say you nailed it. It's sure enough a girl reflection!
June 15th, 2013
joining in a bit late. never tried this before! i got book and clouds. very easy on their own but combining them i'm finding tricky :-(
June 15th, 2013
@gwhit123 Ah, that's the fun, isn't it? (I say this, knowing full well I still haven't gotten my own "chocolate plus building" picture...wanna switch with me??? hahahahaha) Seriously, though...maybe you could ask one of your very photogenic children to pose for you outside, reading a book. Mother Nature has a couple of days here to cooperate and provide the clouds. Hmmmm...brainstorming your tags may have given me other ideas for mine!
June 15th, 2013
@mcsiegle glad I could help! Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see what i can come up with! :-)
June 15th, 2013
My tags are 'cake' and 'dark'. Here's what I got.

June 15th, 2013


Here's my offering. Words were books and cloud
June 15th, 2013
@gwhit123 Very inventive! Maybe I should spell out "building" with chocolate chips? :-)

was feeling at a loss for inspiration so grateful for a new challenge :o)
June 18th, 2013
I just remembered this. It is still Monday the 17th in Seattle, but beyond the 17th Central time. Oh well. Tags I got were statue and red.

June 18th, 2013
Mike, I've never been much of a stickler for technicalities and strict interpretation etc. You did an absolutely bang-up job with your tags. I am so thrilled we got such a good number of people to try the challenge. Thanks for playing with us!
