PLEASE BE SURE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR PARTNER BY MONDAY AT THE LATEST...
if you do not get a challenge by end of day Monday, please let me know and i will do my best to get things sorted...
If you do not get in touch with your partner by Monday, I will take your name off the list until you let me know that you are back and WILL be playing... this is not meant to be punitive - it is just intended to minimize disappointment for those who are playing consistently :)
-- if i left your name ON by mistake, left your name OFF by mistake, or made a MISTAKE in spelling your name, please let me know by responding to this thread and i'll fix things up...
-- if you are interested in joining this challenge, respond in this thread and i will add you to the list... if it's not too late in the week, you'll likely be able to play this week...
-- if you find you must bow out of the game after i've posted the list, please let me know ASAP in this thread, and please tag your partner... i will do my best to find a them a new partner...
-- if you don't get a challenge by late afternoon Monday, let me know in this thread... PLEASE do not suffer in silence! even if you're ok with not playing this week, the person paired with your partner next week may be very disappointed... letting me know about inactive players is the only way i can keep the list up-to-date...

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!!!!!!
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 Apr 15 and 26 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Apr 27 thru Sunday May 3 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-144, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, May 4 - the winner of week 143 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-144
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.
@northy@francoise I am sorry but I am a bit hampered just now. Our island's Broadband is broken and at the moment I am unable to get sufficient d/l bandwidth to fully view any images, so I cannot explore Francoise's album.
I shall have to back out. Apparently we have no hope of a fix before Monday - but no promise of a fix then, either so I think it's best to not try to participate this time around. I can tell you that we have had a horrible week!
@northy Last two weeks Amit @lambda did not respond or post, so he might be out of commission also. @runestone : hope that you get your connection back up. Do you want a challenge from me anyway?
@francoise Yes, I'll take a challenge, thank you. I can offer you one from the top of my head without having the courtesy visit to your albums, if you wish?
@northy I'm good for this week but can you drop me off after this week please. Got the excitement and stress of house moving! Thank you. I look forward to looking through your photos for your challenge. :-)
@runestone ps - i'm still working on my push challenge! i don't know why i have such a hard time with this technique - but i do... so it's excellent practice for me...
@northy Not just cut off but hub can't work and we can't shop - it's amazing how much we rely on the web for day to day stuff, far more so than most people have to. Am feeling v frustrated not to be able to see all the lovely photos. I can load about an inch and then they stall.
I'll be fine. BT say a fix will go in on Monday. We shall see. I am more worried about my DH's company having rearranged our connection at this time. Our current one is cancelled and the new starts Thursday but we have no indication of login details yet. I can't help but feel it will all go wrong.
@francoise and I have an arrangement in place. I should be fine remaining on the list and I haven't forgotten our challenge either. I haven't been out because of my chest infection but I do have lots of planning done and will complete the challenge at some point.
@deeganp hi Pea... i'll add you to the list for next week... for this week... you might check in with @thejazzyj as her partner @lambda doesn't seem to be around... however, Jazz is quite behind in her project as well, so not sure if she's still playing... but you could drop her a note to see... if not, then you'll get paired up with the next person who comes along...
@dumais hi Rose... no one looking for a partner at the moment, but if someone comes along, i'll let you know... and i've added you to the list to get paired up for next week...
Hi @northy
Could u discount me from get pushed for next couple of weeks - in process of moving house... Limited internet and time :-(
