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, Nov 1 and 2 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Nov 3 thru Sunday Nov 9 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-119, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, November 10 - the winner of week 118 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-119
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, please take me off for the week starting Monday 10th. I will be away from the 7th with very limited internt access so it woudn't be fair on my partner. I will be available again for the week there after. Thanks for keeping this challenge going :-)
@jan20 hi Jan... not sure what's up... @justaspark seems relatively uptodate with her project... i dropped her a note earlier today, hopefully she'll see it and respond tonight... please let me know if not and i will set you a challenge...
@northy@jan20 Hi guys! I'm definitely up to play. Did you issue me a challenge, Jan? Looks like I didn't see it. I'm so sorry! :( I'll issue you one after school today (it's morning here), okay?
@pittcj17 hi Cindy... i hope the surgery went smoothly and you're well on your way to recovery... don't worry about the challenge for this week... i gave your partner a push, so all is good... are you wanting to play next week? or do you need to take a breather?
@northy Would love to join for next round as well if possible. Hopefully by then I will have a weeks worth of photos to work with, will that be enough?
@tianarutledge hi Tiana... i will add you to the list to get paired up for week 129... the number of images you have isn't relevant... but it might be good to put something in your profile write-up to give some indication of what you usually tend towards in terms of subjects, as well as areas of expertise...
