- if I've left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed... (it becomes awfully challenging to keep track when you post to other threads)
-- If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...
-- IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST BUT I SPELLED YOUR NAME WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!
-- Saturday / Sunday, April 13th and 14th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday April 15th thru Sunday April 21st - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-39, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 22nd - winner of week 38 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
NOTE:
If you are paired up with someone who has gone MIA (hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), please let me know by responding to this thread... AND PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)
*************************************************************************
How to play:
TO ISSUE A CHALLENGE
1. Find your partner from the list below and click on their name to get to their profile
2. Browse through the last couple of months of photos to get a feel for what they shoot and don't shoot etc.
3. Post an introduction on their last photo, and also issue the challenge you are setting.
RESPOND TO A CHALLENGE
4. You have until midnight next Sunday, to take and post your shot or shots.
5. When posting your shot write a short description about who challenged you, what the challenge was, what you found hard about it etc. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-39
7. Tag your challenger in a COMMENT (not just your write-up). You MUST tag your partner in a separate comment... tagging them in your write-up of your photo is not sufficient as it will not result in them getting a notification...
ALSO
8. it is nice to visit the photo that was made in response to your challenge and offer some comments and maybe even some constructive criticism...
9. On the Monday after the challenge is over, the winner of the previous week will pick 5 finalists for a vote, this can be based purely on their fav photos, who they felt best met the challenge etc, etc.
@dlaxton - i think i've been spelling your name wrong... hopefully i've got it right in this tag... you are paired up this week with @joannapayne - we run into problems with her username because often the tag ends up taking you to @joa 's project... a totally different person :)
@rafaseno you ask me to put you on the list :) and pls let me know if you want to play this week if the opportunity presents itself... often there are others who are wanting to be added so it might be possible to pair you up this week...
I'd very tentatively like to join but am not sure how I go about it, does my partner challenge me or do I challenge them or do we both challenge each other? Sorry for being so dim ;-(
Hi Deni... Every Saturday I announce the pairings of those who've asked robe on the list to play... Then you and your partner each give the other a challenge - generally with the object of trying to stretch your skills... You each take photos in response to the challenge, and then tag your partner in the comments so they can come see what you did :)
That's kind of it in a nutshell... If you want to be added, let me know... I can put you in the list for next week, and if someone else comes along looking for a partner this week you could pair up w them...
@denidouble yes - i've already done the pairings... but usually a few folks (like you ;p) come along and asked to get added... so there's a decent-ish chance someone else will show up today or tomorrow and you will get paired up with them...
@squamloon so we're paired up for the week, dead nervous, contact you later this evening after I finish work and when I've read the instructions again!
@northy I have a little bit of a problem. I just posted the Vote Get Pushed 38 photos. My problem is that I thought I opted out soon enough on the Get Pushed Challenges but apparently not. I am leaving town this Tuesday and will not have internet access for 2 weeks....UGH! Anyway, I could get you or someone to tally the votes for me Sunday night and post the winning photo. I hate asking this since you do so much already but I'm at a lose right now on how else to get it done.
@sxyrhoose hi Eydie... i'll put you down for next week... it's looking too late for this week, although someone else may come out of the woodwork tomorrrow in which case you'll get paired up...
@sparrow sure... i'll add you to the list for next week... in the meantime, do you want to check with @sxyrhoose to see about pairing up for this week?
@lynnb I'm sorry, I've been trying to look through your album between dealing with my kids and a funeral. I thought I had responded the other day, but I guess I got sidetracked again. I've been thinking and planning what I would do to meet your challenge....
@la_photographic oh noooo! looks like @janesherrif must've gotten sidetracked with something... she seems to be posting more or less regularly... you could always see if @alisonp is ready to play this week
@northy I am going to USA for four weeks during the middle of the coming week, so commencing Week 40, think it might be hard to play as I will be out trekking in southern Utah, or chasing grizzly bears in Yellowstone. I will be back for Week 45 so will resume then. Think you are doing a great job.
@peterdegraaff oooh! can't wait to see the photos you come back with... i'm going to canyon country in july - is that where you're going? regardless - have fun!!!
@northy we stayed at South Rim of Grand Canyon for five days two years ago and then went west through New Mexico to Texas, visiting Canyon de Chelly and Bandelier. This time we are going north of the Grand Canyon to Bryce NP, Arches NP, Canyonlands NP, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Won't make it as far as Glacier Lakes I don't think. At the beginning of visit I am going trekking and doing a photography workshop with Bruce Barnbaum in the Grand Staircase Escalante NP. This also means that we get to drive along Highway 12 in Utah which is supposed to be incredible. Bet you will have fun when you are there.
@peterdegraaff most likely i'll be a frustrated photog... it's an organized excursion and going with the kids... i doubt i'll be able to get anywhere cool during good light... but looking forward to it hugely none the less :)
@northy some of the best shots I got at south rim were at Yaki Point for the dawn. I imagine it will be pretty early by then. When were there at dawn the wind chill was about minus 16. The evening spots for sunsets are also terrific. I remember we got some great shots near the monument to Powell the explorer. Just remember with kids and anyone lose to tell them to get out of your shot. You wet there first. I am expecting it might be cold at night in Utah next week
