Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who supported my entry & to those who participated in number 53. Also thank you Wendy for hosting the last challenge! I am honored to host the Tag Challenge 54.
We would like to see more entries, it is hard to keep up with all the challenges on here, the tag is a fun and terrific way to get creative & find a bit of inspiration for your next shot if you are stuck for ideas.
It is easy to play, so tag! tag! tag!
TAG CHALLENGE 54
Start of challenge: Wednesday,19th September, 12:00pm CST
End of challenge: Sunday, 23rd September , 11:59pm CST
Voting starts: Monday, 24th September
Voting ends: Tuesday, 25th September, 11:59pm CST
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.
**** Challenge 54 Twist ****
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 “Reflection” and “Green” (selected randomly as above).
The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries The winner will host the next week's challenge!
Please remember to tag all entries as " tag-challenge54 ” so that I can find them.
Please share them in this thread (optional) so everyone else can enjoy them too.
I noticed that you have participated in the tag challenge discussions recently so I thought I would tag you. I hope I didn't tag anyone twice.
I hope you take part of this weeks challenge. The amount of people who participate has been shrinking - lets get a record number of entries this time. Thank you! And if you pick horrible tags and plan to skip, just see the little twist this time - go with the hosts tags as an alternative.
@staci2171 looks like you just need a can of spray paint & a nice house (JK). I agree those are challenging tags but usually anything can be done with a little creativity! I love your attitude!! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
@myhrhelper Thanks for tagging me Kathy. I have a little theme going for same-september based on the tags I "drew" on week 51 (B & W & macro). So if nobody minds that I repeat those tags, I'll join in (not sure of the rules about that) otherwise, I'll pick up in October. Again, thanks for reaching out :)
Blue and bug... I never ever photograph bugs, I avoid them at all costs (because they are nasty). I have no macro. To mix it up with blue will be interesting, sky or sea...
@carolinedreams For this challenge we do have a twist if you would like you can use the host's tag words which was randomly selected at Green & Reflection. Don't know if that helps but if you are about to give up - try those.
Thanks.
l will have another go - not sure how l will achieve this one though - l got
Christmas & kids ...lol - if l cant come up with anything l might go with the twist and use your alternate tags:)
@michelle58 Do what you can and feel free to use the host twist tag option if you like! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
@hopess13 Wow, sounds like that could be challenging but it is obvious you are ready to step up to the plate - can't wait to see what your creativity has conjured up!
@intymalcolm WOW! That is amazing!!! If I would have gotten that set of tags I wouldn't know what to do! Totally creative!!
@appaloosa05 You can do it Megan! Oh, I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
@wenbow LOL, That's great! Isn't it fitting that you were the host the last challenge and got the host twist words!
@janets Not being a morning person that would be a challenge if you took it completely literal, but perhaps you can come up with some creative twist. If you totally get stumped you have the twist tags to fall back on. It will be excited to see what you do!
@skipt07 Green & rain now that's an interesting combination. Oh, your shot's going to be interesting!
@myhrhelper Thanks for the shout out. I am doing the same September challenge this month. I wasn't sure if I could pick two random tags and make them work as part of that. That's why you haven't seen me on this challenge.....but I am going to try and see if I can "reflection" and "green" into one of my theme shots.
@nadaa IF it doesn't fit in with the September Challenge you could post the shot on an old unused date. As long as we can tell when the photo was taken by the statistics on the right of the photo that shouldn't be a problem. I do that a lot. For me I post photos for challenges in part of Dec. 2011 or November 2011. Looks like you started in July so you can post it using a June date - just an idea
Mine is white and cloud. As Saturday is soft and Sunday is white for me in Same September challenge then maybe I can do it either day (although it depends on the weather). If not I will use the Green and Reflection tags.
@michellegaynor Michelle that is a good question. Yes you need to somehow incorporate both words in that photo any way you can. Some people are very literal, while others really take a completely different unusual twist. Oh, I've seen some of your work so I can't wait to see what you come up with!
@la_photographic Sounds like possibilities to me!! And yes, if you are totally stuck, use the twist tags. Oh Laura, I will watch for your masterpiece!
@joeymc Oh this one sounds like it could be fun. It is funny how your mind starts working when it's someone else's tags. You can always go with the twist tags if your stuck.
@megsouthard Oh Megan that sounds like a fun set of tags to work with! This is a great way to think creatively and get motivated! Can't wait to see your photos!
@raineyday Can't wait to see what you come up with!!! Also, You can always post on old dates as well since the actual date you took the pictures will show up
Yes it does need to be TAKEN during that time but it is fine to post it on a different day (as long as I am able to tell when it was taken from the statistic). I will look at all the dates actually taken when I post the finalists. Since I don't have an ACE account I post them on an unused older date some times. This is my opinion and interpretation of the rules, if this challenge has had different rules please let me know.
Anyone -
@myhrhelper l have a pretty busy few days and wanted to look for some goats (kids) and give them a christmas tree made of carrots or something along those lines ...lol ...not going to work - so l have opted to use your twist tags Green & Reflection
I'm not sure if this counts...not exactly a landscape (more of a cityscape). I think I'm going to try to get a better suited shot tomorrow if I get back from the fair in time.
Well I got white and flower, which tied in very well for my get-pushed challenge for the week which was for a high-key shot - first time for everything!
My tags were 'cold' and sign' and this was what I've come up with so far - not very creative but my brain is being a bit slow at the moment. Hopefully, I'll come up with something more inspired!
I did it....did I do it in time though? lol......my tags were "leaves" and "chocolate" ....full run down on the whole episode is attached to the image in my album.
@michellegaynor Hi Michelle, we encourage people to post their pictures but they don't have to. They should be tagged or they might get missed (if only posted). You should be fine. Thank you for participating in this tag challenge and with some very impressive shots!

I got reflection and color.

@michelle58 Wow Michelle, totally unique and I am baffled on how you did it! Awesome job!!!

A 'sign' that the 'cold' of winter is going.
Baby and girl.
