Tag-challenge-84

October 8th, 2013
Thanks to all who voted for my entry in tag challenge 83. I am surprised and thrilled that it came in a winner. Let's not waste anytime and start the fun all over again with tag-challenge- 84.


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 “Child"and “Macro” (selected randomly as above).

Start of challenge: Tuesday, October 8th, 2013
End of challenge: Thursday, October 17rd, 2013
Voting starts: Friday, 18th October, 2013
Voting ends: Sunday, 20th 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 #85.

Please remember to tag all entries as TAG-CHALLENGE-84 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:

October 8th, 2013

October 8th, 2013
"music" and "fruit"

October 8th, 2013
@taffy Our first mmmm for this challenge. :-)

But really, this time we got tags that at least make sense so far, well, except Dasha's. @reindash Dasha, good luck. Waiting to see your interpretation of a fruit that sings. Lol.

@wenbow, the cat will know and understand that the new tag challenge started. So, don't worry, go ahead and annnoooyyy.
October 8th, 2013
Thank you! I've got a few ideas so far, and you just gave me another one!
Is submitting more than one entry acceptable?
October 8th, 2013
@reindash Yes, submit as many as you want. :-)
October 8th, 2013
Mine is Macro and Green - not bad.
October 8th, 2013
I got cute and red - sounds not to bad except it is so not me hahahahaha
October 8th, 2013
My tags were "moutains" and "autumn".
October 8th, 2013
@la_photographic Not bad at all. Enjoy!

@annied Maybe you can spot a cute red handbag, shoes, or even flower?

@neuner123 Emily, that pic was taken in September, so not eligible to be entered into this competition. See the note in the original post that the pic must be taken in the challenge dates. Maybe you can go retake it or look for a fresh perspective? Sorry about that.
October 8th, 2013
@ikamera hahaha there are red flowers - maybe shoes - i will think of something hahahahahahaha
October 8th, 2013
I got church and macro. Not bad.
October 8th, 2013
Here's mine to kick it off...

Child + Macro

October 8th, 2013
Wow, I sure got lucky. I've got Clouds and Nikon.
October 8th, 2013
@alohajen28 @bill_fe Excellent!

Everyone seems to be getting easy tags this time. Not very challenging at all IMO. I'm thinking maybe we should change up a little and add a third tag? :-p Lol. Just kidding.
October 9th, 2013
The cat was annoyed

Animal & Orange
October 9th, 2013
@mzzhope you will get used to selfies honest, just think, most of us willnever see you in reality and those who do know you in person have seen you looking a lot worse than what you would post on here, lol. that is how I rationalise it anyway :) it will be a treat for us
October 9th, 2013
I got art and window...
October 9th, 2013
Oh bugger. I just got "BLACK" and "CHRISTMAS". Not sure if I am going to sit this one out or not.
October 9th, 2013
@wenbow Wendy, it almost looks like my photo. Child vs. cat. Both are dozing off to sleep. Lol.
October 9th, 2013
@kali66 Very well said, Kali! That's my rationalization as well. Also, selfies are a godsend if you are trying a new technique and need to practice. Who is more patient with you than yourself? Lol. And you don't need to beg, bribe anybody, model is always available.

@mzzhope Judging from your profile pic, you are beautiful. If you are still not comfortable, do a low-key to start with, but that might be hard to do with your other tag. Looking forward to your image.
October 9th, 2013
@steampowered Paul, just googled 'black Christmas' and found out there is a movie with that name. Seems like perfect tags for the October spookiness. Or else, how does child and macro sounds to you? You can use host's tags without sitting out.
October 9th, 2013
@ikamera I'll see what I can come up with!
October 9th, 2013
red and animal xxx made me smile

October 9th, 2013
@gijo1610 Joanne, it made me smile too. Perfect for the tags as well, however, as it was taken a couple of days before the challenge started, it does not count. Can you redo this photo or anything else for red and animal please? Sorry about that.
October 9th, 2013
Oh never mind! Glad I took it anyway! It's so cute xxx
October 10th, 2013
My attempt at fence + color ..tags for this challenges

October 10th, 2013
@smithak Really beautiful. Love the light on the fence and of course the color. Thanks for entering this gorgeous photo into the challenge.
October 10th, 2013
Here's a fun one for my Tag challenge this week: Clouds and Nikon Did I take it too literally? ;-D
More before the challenge ends.

October 10th, 2013
@bill_fe Bill, You did take it literally but I don't know how else you could have taken it. It's perfect. Great idea. :-)
October 10th, 2013
@ikamera Thanks Kiran. Next ones will be of clouds taken with the Nikon.
October 11th, 2013
I got selfie and field. Agh. I guess I need to go grab my tripod and get out to find a field now!
October 12th, 2013
I was nervous about the field part of selfie because we are having downpours and thunderstorms for the next few days. Right after I got my tags I ran out of the house for my one chance at a dry selfie shoot! I got two I liked.



October 12th, 2013
Wow, @misterkitty Amber, these are simply amazing! Love both, especially the first one. It's like you are waiting for the rain to fall. Love the eyes and the pose in the second one. You are beautiful. Thanks for playing with these great entries.
October 12th, 2013
Here's my next one for the challenge:

October 12th, 2013

one from me kiran :) with this tag combination you may have to brace yourself for another !
October 12th, 2013
I wanted dewdrops and spiderwebs this morning, instead this is what I got.

October 12th, 2013
@bill_fe Bill, I like this the best of all three. Just beautiful.
October 12th, 2013
@gozoinklings Love the tones In this. I've braced myself, shoot me with as many as you want. :-)
October 12th, 2013
My tags were brown and flower

October 12th, 2013
@cindygenn Cindy, great picture for your tags. Just perfect.

Loving all the images coming in this time around. I'm going to have a hard time choosing the final 5.
October 14th, 2013
Wow after seeing @misterkitty I am embarrassed to post...be kind because it is my first selfie!The focus was not what I would have liked...but the softness only helps to hide the age...so that may be a good thing.lol.
Tags= Selfie and Animal
October 14th, 2013
Nature and light

October 14th, 2013
@ikamera Thanks Kiran.
October 15th, 2013
@dreams Love that little one..looks like she has eyelashes!
October 15th, 2013
@mzzhope You did great!! Selfies are really hard to do! I took about 50 and got two I could use--and I had to crop out my arm because it had a remote in it. :) Keep doing them, it's kind of addicting because it is so challenging.
October 15th, 2013
@misterkitty thank you so much for your encouragement,Amber!
October 16th, 2013
This is my attempt of 'plant' and 'red' - not that pleased with it may have another go today :-)
October 17th, 2013
One final photo for the tag challenge:

October 17th, 2013
@mzzhope I agree with Amber. Selfies are difficult. I took nearly 60 photos in order to get these 16. Not all are selfies, obviously. I ended up setting my remote to take five shots at two second intervals, then I moved slightly in order to have different perspectives and hopefully get at least one right.
