REPOSTING WITH CORRECTED NUMBER IN SUBLECT LINE TO AVOID PERPETUAL CONFUSION
**********************************************
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 is 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...
Explain what your challenge was when posting your shot. This helps the previous week's winner when they are choosing the week's finalists. And if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo.
-- Saturday / Sunday, Dec 6 and 7 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Dec 8 thru Sunday Dec 14 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-124, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, December 15 - the winner of week 123 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.
6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-124
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.
@psychegrrrl hi Michelle... if you want to play, i can add you to the list for next week's pairings... for this week, the pairings have already been announced... however, if you wait a day or so, likely someone else will come along in search of a partner, so likely you will be able to play this week if you want... let me know!
Hey Northy. I'm checking in on my partner as it looks like she hasn't posted since Thanksgiving week (unless I can't see her pictures?). I left her a comment seeing if she still wanted to play this week. If I get no response by Tuesday I'll prob see if anyone new joining wants to partner with me
@ithinkithunk ok - let me know... I think she tends to post in chunks, and generally does leave gaps in her project... But is still fairly consistent in playing...
Hello, I'm a "newbie" and stumbled upon these comments! I would like to participate and hopefully improve my photographic skills and bevome more familiar with my camera. How does it work?
@northy Hi there!
I think i will make this my last Get - pushed until mid January 2015. Things are getting busy in the lead up to Christmas and then there is 3 weeks holiday to be had! Have a lovely Christmas!
@sunshine365 hi Helen... if you want to play, i will add you to the list to get paired up... each week you'll get assigned a partner... you look thru your partner's album to see what kinds of things they tend to shoot, and then you give them a challenge to do something different... and they will do the same for you... it's lots of fun :)
@northy I'm a new to photography took the plunge and bought a camera then joined 365 on the same day!! I've loved my journey so far but so much to learn. I'm slightly worried that I'm not experienced enough to join this group. Some of the work I've seen on here is way beyond my capabilities but I would like to give it a try if you think it's appropriate.
@thistle hey Joyce - we all have to start somewhere, and this is a great place to start! 'll add you to the list to get paired up next week... for this week, you might want to check in with @sunshine365 to see if she's interested in playing... if not, let me know... there may be others who come along this week looking for a partner...
@northy Thank you for organising the get-pushed challenges, but could you please take me out for the next few weeks, just busy and I don't want to let my partner down. thank you.
@northy I wouldn't mind giving this a go as well, if you wouldn't mind adding me to the list when possible. I always vote for get pushed but I think it's time I try it out.
@northy
Hi, Yes, Please add my name to your list; I would like to join. My own question----I'm so new at this-----because of my work schedule, I can't do a challenge every week----does this mean I can't participate? Thank you for your patience.
@sunshine365 it does make it tricky... each week you are paired up with someone new and expected to participate... if you know ahead of time that you won't be able to play on a particular week, you can let me know and i will take you off the list for that week... but once you're paired up you should be planning on participating - otherwise you'd be lettering your partner down...
this is really the only challenge that requires that kind of commitment... there are, however, tons of other challenges on 365 that may work better for you if you don't know from one week to the next what your schedule will be... there's usually a weekly theme, and then things like the mundane challenge, the various technical challenges (camera settings and photography techniques), the "what can you see" challenge, "eye of the beholder", etc - to name but a few!
@northy Just to inform you I will be bowing out until 9th January 2015. Will want a challenge for the week of the 12th January 2015. Thank You for doing this challenge.
@northy Sorry I've only just managed to find this thread again. I am obviously as blind as a bat. If you could pair me up for next week that would be great. I think I need a full week to kick my aged brain into gear!! I should be able to do each week then. I really do need the discipline of having to think each week. I am very new to all this but loving it. Thanks for help.
