Get Pushed 72 - Monday December 2 to Sunday December 8

[☠northy]

apparently i now really need to face up to the reality that Christmas is coming and start thinking about photo cards and calendars... personally i'd rather hide under a bridge or escape into an alternate dimension ;p

ok - down to business

first, some reminders...

1. some folks don't post much on the weekends, post in clumps (ie: 3 or 4 days of shots in one go) or are at a point in their project when they only post a few times a week... soooo - if your partner doesn't get back to you right away, or appears to be a few days behind, please give it a day or so before asking for a new partner...

2. HOWEVER, if you're partner hasn't posted in weeks and hasn't responded to the last couple of challenges, please let me know... even if you are ok with taking the week off, letting me know helps me keep the list up to date and makes things easier for pairings the following week...

3. IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)

4. i am not a techie and have no way to come up with a program that will prevent repeat pairings from occurring... sometimes it's easy enough to switch out, but not always... so if you end up with someone you've been partnered with before, consider it an opportunity to kick it up a notch now that you kinda know each other, or, y'know for revenge (did they make you do a high key selfie? spend hours trying to figure out how to get a water drop shot? shoot in colour?? ;p)... just sayin'

5. and, as always, if i left you off by mistake (or left you in by mistake!), misspelt your name or otherwise mucked things up, please let me know...

Week 72 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, November 30th and Sunday December 1st - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday December 2nd thru Sunday December 8th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-72, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, December 9th - the winner of week 71 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

*************************************************************************

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-72

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.

Happy trails!

[Michelle]

Hi @northy . Thank you for organising this enormously motivating and fun challenge. I really do enjoy taking part. However, I will be away in a very rural part of Mozambique (no internet...not even sure there is electricity....) from the end of the week, so please take me out of the challenge for next week or 2. I'll let you know when I'm back and ready to join again :) Thanx again!

[gina patel]

Sorry, could you take me off for a little while, I won't be able to get to the challenge.

[☠northy]

@momsta well now - that sounds like an exciting trip! i expect you'll come home with lots of interesting shots!

@ginapatel - Gina... are you playing this week? or do i need to find another partner for @cameraholic ?

[Stephomy]

You can put my name on the list. I'm ready for some challenges.

[Nancy]
