Tag Challenge Ninety Nine!!

June 8th, 2014
Wow! So here is the 99th tag challenge - the winner will get to host the centenary challenge!
I feel so chuffed to have won the 98th challenge, and think my tags - pink and texture - were rather a gift, so it wasn't difficult to be inspired. Thanks to all who took part and all who voted, and to the last tag winner, Laurie (@luvmynynix) for hosting.

So get ready to play the 99th challenge!
Some of the tag combinations require a great deal of imagination and wizardry to put together, not to forget technical ability and flair - so these are the things I will be looking for when I choose the finalists. Above all have fun!
And if you haven't joined in the fun before here are the rules:

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 "happy" and "clouds" (selected randomly as above).

**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, so we are continuing to combine the two 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: Tuesday, June 10th, 2014
End of challenge: Tuesday, June 17th, 2014
Voting starts: Wednesday, June 18th, 2014
Winner announced: Saturday, June 21st, 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 #100

Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-99 so that I can find them.

Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too. Have fun!!

June 9th, 2014
Window,Garden and Face ..... I'm on it!
June 9th, 2014
House, nature, and hipstomatic. I have no idea what that last one is.
June 9th, 2014
New to all this, new to camera and new to photography but Sculpture and Chocolate sound possible for a complete novice!
June 9th, 2014
Ok .. purple was the first, good start as that is my favourite colour, then day ... mmmm thinking time
June 9th, 2014
I have got black & white and dog. I should manage that one without too much problem!
June 9th, 2014
green and farm for me... In the middle of a city ;) ... Let's think a bit about that :)
June 9th, 2014
sunrise and girl: I have access to both those! YAY!
June 9th, 2014
@annied Grass and christmas?!?! Well that does require some imagination!!
Get better soon.
June 9th, 2014
@paulam Well I see something very romantic coming on.... nice tags!
June 9th, 2014
@kwiksilver A black and white boy? Sounds ok - if you know some boys! Good luck!
June 9th, 2014
@rebecka Pink people??? should be fun!
June 9th, 2014
@melanierivers Wow this is amazing!!! I thought cats hated water! How did you do it? Really clever and effective.
June 9th, 2014
@mzzhope window, garden - they go together - but face? This requires some thinking - good luck!
June 9th, 2014
@denvern8v House and nature sound interesting. Forget the Hipstomatic - that's an iPhone App. However, if you have an iPhone I can recommend you get the app as it's great fun. Go to the browse page and click on tags then find hipstamatic and click on it and lots of hipstomatic photos should come up, so you can see what they are like.
Have fun!

@thistle chocolate!!!lucky you - it will be essential to purchase a great deal!! then sculpt it and ask us all round to eat it!!
Welcome to 365, you will learn lots here, and be greatly encouraged. Find some people to follow: notice comments on other pages and see what sort of thing you like - serious, amusing, encouraging etc. And find people who take pictures in a style you find pleasing. gradually you will find some friends. Warning - this is time consuming and a bit addictive! Look forward to seeing your chocolate photo!
June 9th, 2014
@dibzgreasley mmm a purple day... I can see something rather inventive! Good luck!
June 9th, 2014
@salza Oh! I think you should make your way to some sheep dog trials! Have fun!
June 9th, 2014
@jborrases mmm a city farm - toy shop??? green will be ok.
I am surrounded by green and farms, sorry I can't send you any! Come to Devon! Enjoy the challenge!
June 9th, 2014
@skiesshadedred Sunrise is just a tad toooo early for me at the moment. enjoy dragging some poor child out of bed at the crack of dawn...
June 9th, 2014
@lleo Thank you, actually he is not afraid of water, but I tweeked the image with a bit of editing...he's on the couch but it worked out well as the expression on his face looked like he really was seeing his reflection! :-)
June 10th, 2014
@lleo Yeah...I have a Droid. :) I guess I'm doing nature and house! Thank you.
June 10th, 2014
I think mine won't be that hard, flower and sky. Not a fan of doing flower photography :-\ oh well. I'll try to have fun.
Thanks for hosting the challenge.
June 10th, 2014
I got pink and shadow. Should be interesting since our roses are gorgeous. Kathy
June 10th, 2014
@d_lopes well I think flower and sky is a gift! Go and buy your mum one fabulous flower that appeals to you. None appeals? Then find a weed! Good to get out of the comfort zone, it's what helps us grow! Look forward to seeing your creation!
June 10th, 2014
@kathyboyles I love pink roses. Hope you get enough sun to cast some shadows! Enjoy.
June 10th, 2014
@lleo thank you for making me feel so welcome. I am still finding my way round the site. So much to see and such amazing pictures. My brain is going to have to come out of retirement and find it's way round my new camera. Off to plan sculpture and all that chocolate!!!
June 11th, 2014
@lleo I'm going with your tags this time around:

June 11th, 2014
Well, crap, this was announced on the 8th I took my photo on the ninth, now I see it was to start on the tenth, so mine doesn't count.
June 11th, 2014
@bill_fe Oh no!! Perhaps you can repeat it? Is that your smiling face reflected in a pond??!!
June 11th, 2014
@lleo No, it's a double exposure, one shot of the sky, one of me; done in-camera
June 13th, 2014
Pink and Shadows
June 13th, 2014
@kathyboyles what a gorgeous rose! And bright sun giving the shadows. Well done.
June 13th, 2014
@lleo thank you. Kathy
June 15th, 2014
My tags: dog and black and white
June 15th, 2014
@salza what a beautiful expression. First class tones and exposure, well done. Just love that right ear!
June 16th, 2014
Another entry - tags dog and black and white
June 16th, 2014
@lleo Thanks, she is not an easy dog to photograph as she hates the camera!
June 17th, 2014
@nikkilee @bill_fe @thistle @skiesshadedred @dibzgreasley
You' em got till the end of the day to produce a tag challenge! Don't forget the tag!
June 17th, 2014
@lleo
I have one, but my computer is down, can't upload any pics, hoping my husband can fix it by tonight
June 17th, 2014
@lleo I don't have one! Stuck for inspiration!
June 17th, 2014
@lleo Missed this one had a plan but life got in the way!!
June 17th, 2014
@lleo Ok, not too inspired but an entry nonetheless...
I got purple and day as tags for this weeks tag challenge. Although purple is my favourite colour it was not so easy to do this as I thought. So I took a picture of bright day(light) and made it purple.
Does that work?

June 18th, 2014
I couldn't get my daughter up early enough and hike to the place I wanted too. lazy childrens. :P i'll try again on the centennial.
June 18th, 2014
Thanks everyone for entering the tag challenge. The competition is now closed! Tomorrow I will share the finalists with you so that voting can start.
