Tag Challenge 83

September 24th, 2013
A great big 'Thanks' to all who voted for my entry to tag challenge 82. I am delighted that it came in a winner as is my daughter. Let's not waste anytime and start the fun all over again with tag-challenge- 83.


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 “Camera"and “Window” (selected randomly as above).

Start of challenge: Wednesday, September 25th, 2013
End of challenge: Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
Voting starts: Friday, 4th October, 2013
Voting ends: Monday, 7th October, 2013

NOTE - Photos must be 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 #84.

Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-83 so that I can find them.

Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too. You can also see all the pictures entered for this challenge here:

This is my first time hosting a challenge so please forgive me if there are any technical issues.

Good luck and have fun! :)

I got boats and daisy. Hmmm...
September 24th, 2013
@ikamera Excellent.......I have no idea how you are going to do that. Good luck!!!!
September 24th, 2013
I have no clue either. Boats are daisies are not an everyday sight where I live. I either have to learn to make paper boats or adopt your tags (camera and window sounds fine to me, I have both). :-)
September 24th, 2013
My tags are a little mundane although I am really struggling to think of a good composition. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
September 24th, 2013
Music & Shadow. OK.
Why can't I ever get macro and insect?lol.No..not really I would rather have a challenge.:)
September 24th, 2013
@mzzhope wonderful tags. What a great challenge. This challenge doesn't half get the mind racing! Good luck. I look forward to seeing your shots.
September 24th, 2013
This will be weird... HDR and B&W? Can you do an HDR b&w photo? If you can, then that will be fun!
September 24th, 2013
Leaves & Photography
September 24th, 2013
@mzzhope hope, thanks for the good laugh this morning. And why can't I get kids and portrait? Lol. Very interesting tags you got. I hope you are into music.

@taffy I think so. I remember seeing HDR in black and white. Those overly high-contrasty black and whites, but then I've never done HDR, so don't count on my words.
September 24th, 2013
@taffy I have no idea if it is possible. I am sure you will find a way! Good luck.
September 24th, 2013
@wenbow you must be relieved. Good luck. I look forward to seeing the results.
September 24th, 2013
Sem
it'd be nice to give this challenge a whirl again, i chose bokeh & day.
September 24th, 2013
@semjaja Not too horrible a combination (although none are easy). I am looking forward to seeing what you produce. Have fun!
September 24th, 2013
Mine is Light & Shadow. Should be interesting.
September 24th, 2013
@la_photographic I think I would have preferred light or shadow.....Good luck!
September 24th, 2013
Sem
@spanner portrait & b&w would've been first prize but i can make this work :)
September 24th, 2013
Meg
I have dog and France. I am in North America, so this should be interesting. At least I have a dog!? =)
September 24th, 2013
I got animal and brown. This should be an easy one!

September 24th, 2013
I got sand and plants. Live on the coast but a stony beach! Mmm.
September 24th, 2013
Oh dear...............I was far too keen and went stonking off today and got my shot..........didn't read the bit about Wednesday 25th being the start...so here is what I did...but appreciate it wont count!!
September 24th, 2013
leaf and flowers...I thought I always get flowers, try another, got flower LOL true story
September 24th, 2013
@pixiemac i think that might be because of the time difference as spanner is in New Zealand...if he changes it to our time zone it will count :)
September 24th, 2013
@kali66 Fingers crossed for time zone change ;-D
September 24th, 2013
@pixiemac Of course it counts! it is a wonderful entry and I am new to this. So It is my mistake not yours. Wonderful work, well done for getting onto it so quickly.
I will try to take into account time zones and work it out. Which time zone is preferred?
September 24th, 2013
@megstorey Bonjour. Time to dress the dog up! Oui?
September 24th, 2013
@neuner123 Cool - That should be a manageable one. Good luck.
September 24th, 2013
Selfie and light..great. my worst nightmare is taking a selfie. what a challenge. need to figure out how i am going to work this..
September 24th, 2013
@spanner hi Spanner, thank you for your kind comments, Iike you, I am new to challenges, so I am not sure what time zone is normally used.........anyone out there know?
September 24th, 2013
Black and white and smile
September 24th, 2013
@happysnapper65 Could be an issue.........any building merchants nearby?
September 24th, 2013
I got church and leaves... hmm....
September 24th, 2013
@kali66 some things are just meant to be....Looking forward to seeing what you produce.
September 24th, 2013
@smithak Excellent - way out of your comfort zone. I am sure you will do something wonderful. Have fun!
September 24th, 2013
@gijo1610 That must put a smile on your face.........quick snap it and post!
September 24th, 2013
@cgoose Now that is tricky - I have an image of a church gutter filled with leaves and an enthusiastic photographer perched precariously on the edge of the roof taking shots. Be safe!.
September 24th, 2013
@spanner its not really a mistake, just bear in mind that when it is friday here it is still thursday when a lot of other folks are reading it, a bit of leeway is allowed I am sure
September 24th, 2013
@pixiemac The time zone that the person setting the challenge in is usually used. I am in UK so if I was setting the tag challenge it would be in GMT and if you are not in GMT time you have to check when the start and end date and time is for you.
September 24th, 2013
@kali66 @happysnapper65 Thank you both for your input. I will try and make it as even as possible. I am sure as this is a global community every one will understand.
September 25th, 2013
I hope a triptych counts......


Camera + Window....
September 25th, 2013
@taffy I got B&W and HDR as tags in July 2012. This was my entry.

September 25th, 2013
@spanner



Here you go- great smile!
September 25th, 2013
@la_photographic Thanks so much!! I've really been at a loss, thinking about HDR in the way it brings out color. This helps to see yours.
September 25th, 2013
@taffy No problem.
September 25th, 2013
@taffy Hey Taffy, I use HDR EFX Pro, there are options to change to B&W, or you could do it in B&W in camera and combine the photos for hdr.
September 25th, 2013
I've got nature + happy. Does it count if I'm smiling behind the camera?
September 25th, 2013
@bill_fe Thanks -- great idea as I have both HDR efex pro and Silver Efex pro which gives me a lot of b&w options! Brilliant!!
September 26th, 2013
@gijo1610 cracking smile!
September 26th, 2013
@bill_fe @taffy are these apps that you are discussing?
September 26th, 2013
@spanner They are software from Nik Software. I think it was bought out by Google and they have some discounted prices on these software. I'm thinking of buying them myself. Heard many good things about them.
September 26th, 2013
@spanner yes. The are part of nik suite but also available individually. They are great!
September 26th, 2013
I got orange and garden

September 29th, 2013
I got 'Fun' and 'Christmas'.
September 29th, 2013
This one was also inspired by Katie @archaeofrog . I was going to post another selfie, but these kids were curious when they saw me on the merry-go-round. I showed them my photos, then asked if they wanted their pictures taken.

September 30th, 2013
I got church and leaves, here it is:
