Tag Challenge #58 - (w/alternate tag words option)

[Nada A.]

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who supported my entry & to those who participated in number 57. Also thank you Michelle for hosting the last challenge! I am honored to host Tag Challenge #58.

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 especially if you are stuck for ideas.

It is easy to play, so tag! tag! tag!

TAG CHALLENGE 58 - NOTE THE NEW DATES that include a weekend.

Start of challenge: Monday, 22nd October, 12:00pm CST
End of challenge: Sunday, 28th Ocotober , 11:59pm CST
Voting starts: Monday, 29th October
Voting ends: Wednesday, 31st October, 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.

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 “architecture ” and “macro” (selected randomly as above).

The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries The winner will host challenge #60 (to go along with the new date range).

Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge58 so that I can find them.

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

NOTE - Photos must have been taken within the challenge time frame to be considered for a vote.

Some people have requested that the tag challenge run over a weekend allowing for more time. That is also consistent with how many other challenges run. So, here goes....with new dates. This does mean that the winner of challenge 58 will not be able to run challenge 59 because the process will not be complete by that point. That person will run challenge 60. So, either I can host both 58 and 59, or would someone like to volunteer to host challenge 59?

@welcometocarolworld Sounds like fun! Can't wait to see your shot.

[Jo]

Hand and friends - shouldn't be too hard.

[Dawn Reilly]

@nadaa did you want to spell challenge with 3 l's? just checking, I am a terrible speller, I could not find my O'keeffe challenge pics because I was spelling o'keeffe wrong lol!

[Nada A.]

@joeymc That could be fun or very sweet and sentimental. Can't wait to see!

[Nada A.]

@sunshinephoto5 Thanks for the correction. :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Thanks for the heads-up Nada. Let's see what I land on!

[Wendy Bowden]

Music & Portrait

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Looks like it's going to be music and toy. Sounds fun!

[Nada A.]

@wenbow @olivetreeann @welcometocarolworld Three music tags already but with three different companion tags. This promises to be fun!

[Laura]

Macro & Flower. Tricky as flowers are not very abundent at present - will use alternate words if can't find a flower.

[Ragnhild :)]

macro and reflection .. ehhe :)

[cheryl]

nature and morning.. :-) yeah.. something I might actually get to do!

[Tamara]

(Red & Portrait) First time playing! Excited!

[Nada A.]

@la_photographic Macro and flower. Might be cool to combine this with the Georgia O'keeffe artist challenge going on.

@ragnhildmorland Love macros and love reflections. Can't wait to see what you do with that?

@cheribug Nature and morning. How early are you getting up for your shot?

@tamaralaraphotography Welcome to the tag challenge. So glad you are going to play!

[Cameron Knowlton]

macro birds... that's going to be tricky. can I stun them first?

[Alicia]

@cameronknowlton He he, I think it's still easier that macro-architecture which is our alternative. Can't begin to think how to do that!
I have road and abstract. Hmmm...

[Nada A.]

@cameronknowlton LOL! A toy bird perhaps? Three people (four if you include the alternative) have gotten the macro tag.

@tulipgirl Abstract and road ... that could be an entire life story.

[Dan]

Macro and colors. Should be fun for a first-timer.

[Nada A.]

@yarp Welcome to the challenge Dan!

[cheryl]

@nadaa I hAVE TO BE IN aSHEVILLE AT 8:30 AM IN THE MORNING.. pLANNED ON GETTING OUT ABOUT 6. since it is 1 1/2 hour drive figured I'd give myself a little picture time.. :-)

[Nada A.]

@cheribug I like the way you think. Enjoy your picture time and safe driving.

[Megan Joy]

"reflection" and "london", hmm....

[Laura]

"eyes" and "reflection"

[katy]

insect and heart

[katy]

@lstasel Nicely done!

[Laura]

@grammyn Great job Katy.

[katy]

@lstasel thanks!

[Aleksandra]

Outdoors and Lake, this is do-able, if I have the time to get to a lake.

[Laura]

@nadaa I was thinking that - just have to find a flower that isn't dying (although a dying flower might be interesting too).

[Nada A.]

@appaloosa05 Considering where you live, London might be a challenge. A London look-alike?

@lstasel @grammyn Beautiful and creative!

@aleksandra Lucky you! Hope you get to the lake.

@la_photographic Can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Jasmine Jefferies]

My tags are orange and abstract. Haven't done this challenge in like forever.. I remember back when it was tag challenge 15 :P
Anyways, will be posting my photo this evening!

[Nada A.]

@brav It's cool when you can blend 2 challenges.
