Thanks everybody for voting me in as the winner of Tag Challenge 96! I was in the right place at the right time with the right pair of tags :) It's an honor to be chosen by you all and to host #97.
Here is how it works:
Step 1: Go to the "Browse" section and then select the "By Tag" link. Close your eyes and randomly click on a tag.
Step 2: Do it again (and no peeking)! These two tags are now 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 (using the same two tags).
**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 "clouds" and "black and white" (selected randomly as above).
**New this time around, if you chose a set of words that you feel are "too easy" or you are just looking for even more of a challenge, you may also choose to select a third tag! The three tag challenge fizzled out a little bit, so I'm combining the two for a trial run for those who still wanted to participate at the three tag level. They will all be included together for the final voting.
Start of challenge: Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
End of challenge: Tuesday, May 13th, 2014
Voting starts: Thursday, May 15th, 2014
Winner announced: Monday, May 19th, 2014
**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 get the opportunity to host challenge #98
Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-97 so that I can find them.
Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too. Have fun!!
Light and Cute. No problem!Lots of cute creatures live here! Ok..I added a third Tag and got Fruit.:) That cancels out my carnivore kitty as a subject.:)
@polarvrtx Sara, thanks so much for combining the 2 tag and the 3 tag challenge! I think we had a good discussion about it and I think the best solution was to combine them.. That said, I decided to pick 3 tags and they are: LAKE, TEXTURE & BOOK. (Oh, boy, I've got some thinking to do....)
Yayyyyy!!! So excited about my tags!!! Color photography and kids photography. I'm around kids from the time I get up until I go to bed!! I'm a preschool teacher of 3 year olds!!!
Ooh, black and white reflections. How funny, I just did my first ever 'get pushed' and had a black and white theme - I commented how it pushed me out of my comfort zone (in a good way) because I never really shoot in B&W. Too obsessed with colours. Looks like I'm not escaping that easily!
@paulam Yes, I think it will be fun! I never actually did the three tags challenge myself, but I can remember a few times I've had really redundant tags like "landscape and trees" and I'd wished for something a little more interesting. You certainly got a challenge this time around!!
@mizzm Ooh, nice one... lots of room for creativity there
@mzzhope LOL! I guess fruit can be pretty cute sometimes...
Here goes, my words were PURPLE and MOUNTAINS
Love all the submissions so far!
