1 - the biggest challenge when i do a housekeeping thread is making sure i've spelled your name correctly... if there's a typo, please let me know asap!
2 - if you missed responding to the thread, then you were not on the list to get paired up... BUT - no worries! if you want to play, just let me know and i'll add you in and find you a partner!
*************************************
ALSO IMPORTANT!!!!!!
One of the key aspects of "get pushed" is that we get "pushed" out of our photographic comfort zones... this means that you need to find something that is a CHALLENGE for your partner...
look thru the recent months of their project and come up with something they don't seem to have done, or have indicated struggling with... it could be a type of subject, a compositional technique, a particular camera setting, use of light, anything... as long as it isn't something they don't seem to have done, or done much of...
if you're paired with someone who appears very experienced and accomplished, give them a concept challenge - eg.: interpret a word (something a bit intangible like "silence", or "ambiguous"... not a thing like "animal" or "toy")...
looking thru your partner's albums needn't take a lot of time... but it is very much appreciated when this effort is invested...
-- Saturday / Sunday, October 25 and 26 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday October 27 thru Sunday November 2 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-118, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, November 3 - the winner of week 117 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
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-118
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.
I guess I missed the thread about my name-DebSeibly . Spelling phase been correct. If there is someone available to play this week, I would like to be in. But if not,no problem.
@amyleewinfield hi Amy... She responded to you in her project today... Can you go check where you left your challenge for her? Sounds like she didn't have the right equipment for the challenge you set her (or something... Sorry - I was checking on the fly)... She also said she'd be checking on your project today to issue you a challenge...
@northy After this week can you take my off the list for a bit? I just have too much on my plate these days and am falling behind. Thanks and I will be back1
