A great big 'Thanks' to all who voted for my entry to tag challenge 81. I am delighted that it came in a winner! Let's not waste anytime and start the fun all over again with tag-challenge- 82.
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 “Blue"and “Dark” (selected randomly as above).
Start of challenge: Wednesday, September 11th, 2013
End of challenge: Thursday, September 18th, 2013
Voting starts: Friday, 19th September, 2013
Voting ends: Monday, 22nd September, 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 #83.
Please remember to tag all entries as tag-challenge-82 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:
@neuner123 Emily, thanks for joining us. You posted some cool photos. I especially like the shadow ones and the last 'green&light' one.
However, in this challenge we only work with one set of tags at a time (in the challenge period). You can pick a new set of tags when this challenge ends and a new one starts. Also, one of the rules of the challenge is to take and if possible post the photo within the challenge dates (sept. 11th to 18th).I've noticed you tagged some photos which were taken few days back.
At this point, we have couple of options. Choose one set of tags from all your sets and stick with it. You can post as many photos as you would like with that one set. Just make sure they are taken within challenge dates. Option number 2 is start fresh. Browse by tag and pick two tags by closing your eyes and start over. I'll leave it upto you which option you choose.
Please let us know here what tags are you going with. Sorry if that is a lot of info at once. I'll be happy to help you with any questions. I hope you'll keep playing.
@httpgeffed Colleen, I'm sorry but I really laughed out load when I saw your tags. I guess I saw some image in my head - mummy movie style image. Hopefully, you won't have to do anything that dramatic or harmful and find a friendly insect to pose with.
Going to join in the fun with this for the first time. I got lucky, my tags are "heart" and "garden". Will get my thinking cap on. Thanks for hosting Kiran.
@happysnap Linda, welcome. Thanks for joining us. Your tags are also very welcoming. Glad you didn't get anything that scares you off. :-) Can't wait to see what you'll come up with.
@mzzhope Hope, mmmm... Your tags reminded me something we used to do when we were kids. Throw rocks at these huge trees that are too high to reach so the ripe fruits fall to the ground. And then we used to pick them up and eat. I didn't do it much but I know lot of kids did that.
Taffy's suggestion seems to be good or stack rocks and put fruit on top. Make it all Zen. Lol.
@paign Beautiful tags. Lots of different subjects you can use. @shawnasays Lol. Taffy's praying for the rain, you might want to start your own prayer. Thanks for the follow, btw. Will go checkout your album in a few minutes. @bill_fe Super tags. They almost go together. Lucky you. And beautiful first entry. Can I suggest cropping out the bottom yellow flower. It might make it even more interesting composition. Just a suggest.
@olivetreeann oh, wait a minute. Just realized it didn't say 'self-portrait'. A portrait can also be self-portrait, right? If I were you I would do a self-portrait. Lol.
@ikamera We'll see about the self portrait- I am NOT crazy about them. And everyone would be expecting that which also steers me away from it. But who knows what my brain will come up with!
No, I don't think there is an option to crop in 365, unless you have an ace account, I see you don't have it. You'll have to delete, crop in your software and upload again. Don't do it if it is too much trouble or if you are going to lose feedback, it's good as it is. @bill_fe
I posted before I had gotten selfie and insect, BTW I am NEVER telling hubby what my tag challenge words are again...I can't trust him with the camera!
@ikamera Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten the challenge -- rain + light and we've not had a single day of rain since the challenge! I'm trying to think of alternatives!
UPDATE: It rained tonite!
@taffy Taffy, glad you are still on for the challenge. Two more days for the deadline. You might have to get hold of a spray bottle and create rain Arefin style if the rain doesn't show up. :-)
Great entries so far. You guys really did a great job with the tags you got. I haven't got a chance to get my own entry yet. Btw, if you got particularly hard tags, please remember that you can use host's tags 'Blue' and 'Dark' instead of giving up altogether.
Last two days for getting your entries in. If anybody is thinking of playing, please do it now so you have plenty of time to think of a picture with your tags.
Tweets ahoy!

Btw, you did great with shoes and landscape.

@smithak Smitha, thanks for playing. Love those tags. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Whew! I wish it hadn't rained quite so hard, but it's a relief to have been able to have something for the challenge. This was a fun pair to address.
