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 asap 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. you do NOT need to post your get pushed shot to this thread (in fact it's almost better if you don't because it makes it more difficult for me to keep track of the things i need to do in terms of updating the list)... you DO need to be sure to tag your shot get-pushed-XX (the number above)...
6. 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...
-- Saturday / Sunday, February 1st and 2nd - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday February 3rd thru Sunday February 9th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-81, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, February 10th - the winner of week 80 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-81
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.
Hi @northy - Thanks for setting up the get-pushed-challenge. I appreciate your time and effort. I was on the verge of giving up the challenge for a few reasons...
After giving challenges with no response, I decided to let my partners contact me first. The past two weeks, no one contacted me, or we contacted each other... I did my challenge, but my partner didn't...
Thanks .. just to let you know @krisjoy didn't redpond at all last week . last post was jan 19
I was happy to take the week off.
see whether they join in this week
@kathyboyles Oh dear!! I'm sorry to hear that! I'll leave a message for you on your most recent image and we can sort out a reasonable get-pushed for you under the circumstances. And if it isn't do-able, just let me know and I'll come up with something different.
@taffy taffy, I can't walk so can't go far yet. That could change soon as I will be having pt. am feeling better each day. Thanks for the nice comments on my photos. Kathy
@june hi June... tx for the heads up! for future reference, please let me know by Friday at the latest if your partner hasn't shown - even if you are happy to take the week off... prevents frustration and disappointment for whoever they end up being paired up with next...
@mcsiegle - looks like there's a good chance your partner may be mia... let me know if you know hear anything from @krisjoy over the next couple of days and i will find you another partner...
@3rdxoff - hi AC... beginning of the year for get pushed can be frustrating with everyone signing up with good intentions, but unable to follow thru... and i know it can be discouraging when your partner doesn't do the challenge - sometimes i guess life gets in the way... definitely keep letting me know if you're paired with someone who seems to have abandoned the project... i take them off the list when that happens so they don't end up paired up the next week with someone else who will be disappointed...
@northy Will do. I've already commented on one of @krisjoy pics (and faved it -- can that be used as a verb?? LOL) and introduced myself. I hope I hear back. I'll let you know.
@northy Mira, Ella @ellasviews hasn't posted anything since January 10th, and has only a total of 6 photos since last July, can you find a different partner for me please? She has two challenges on her last photo, one from @blahowd on the 21st, and one from @vitaw on the 26th.
Whoops—I meant to let you know last night that I've realized I'm just not up for it. Let me know if you can't find a partner for kimcrisp, and I'll give her a challenge.
@northy Good evening, Northy. I am so sorry that I was off for just over a week - and was unable to get to a computer to let anyone know I was off-line (up to my elbows in baby lambs to be exact).
I did send my last get pushed partner @shannejw a note and apologized to him.
I am usually very faithful to 365 and the challenges -
Could I get put back on the list once again, please?
It would be great if I have a partner for this week - but I do understand if I don't get one until next.
Thank you so much once again for all you do with this competition.
@farmreporter hi Wendy... no worries! i've added you back in for getting paired up next weekend... for this coming week, how about you pair up with @kimcrisp as her partner had to bow out...
thank you Mira for all your work on this @farmreporter - sorry I missed your note. There seems to be a limit to the number of notifications saved - and I can't always check during the day.
@northy If there is someone new who wants to join I would work with him, or otherwise it's okay for me to wait a week - I'm also kinda stressed with school this week :( :)
OK. I'd like to get back into this starting next week please. If there's someone single this week, you can assign them to me and vice a versa if you like.
@froggie0628 hi Amanda... tx for letting me know... i'll see if there is anyone to pair you up with for the rest of this week or i'll give you a challenge myself later tonight :)
@northy I've had to cancel my involvement in this weeks challenge, I am having issues with my eye and have been banned from anything that involves using my eyes :-( (@gailmmeek was my partner)
Could you also take me off the list for now and I'll let you know when I'm fully fit to start again..
My apologies to everyone and especially my partner.
Hi @northy - I noticed my partner for this week, @akenoupierre21 hadn't responded to challenges for a couple of weeks and he/she didn't respond to mine this week, either.
@northy ahoy :)
Thanks so much for these challenges! I have completed mine for this week (yay!) But I am going on holidays for the next 6 weeks, so can you please take me off the list for now?
I'll send a note to rejoin once I'm home and settled :)
My get pushed 81 entry. My challenge was to photograph a water crown. I did my best with the equipment in my hands and the ideas in my head. I hope you enjoy.
Kind Regards,
Shalffoto
