Get Pushed Week 181 - Monday Jan 11 to Sunday Jan 17

January 9th, 2016
for all the newcomers to this site, i've posted a separate thread with some FAQs about the get pushed challenge... you can find it here:

http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/26946/get-pushed-faqs

*******************************************************************

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 :)

****************************************************************

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS

-- 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...

****************************************************************

ALSO IMPORTANT!!!

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.

*****************************************************

Week 181 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday January 9 and 10 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday January 11 thru Sunday January 17 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-181 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, January 18 - the winner of week 180 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.

6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-181

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.

Happy trails!!!!

Hello. Can I join in? Thanks.
January 10th, 2016
Northy, I would like to join in as well. Thanks
January 10th, 2016
@manek43509 @joysabin how about the two of you pair up for this coming week?
January 10th, 2016
@manek43509 Kit, I am new to 'get pushed' so do we each give each other a prompt? If so, I suggest snacks.
January 10th, 2016
@joysabin Yeah, we each need to suggest something to the other – preferably something the other person doesn't do much of, so it's pushing them outside their comfort zone. I'll look through your project and see what I think is a good challenge for you!

Hi @northy could you deal me back into this? Happy to join late this week or next week whatever works best at your end. Rachel
January 11th, 2016
@northy Hi. I was in last week and would like to continue with get-pushed. I somehow got missed. Thanks.
January 11th, 2016
@beachdog ooops! So sorry! How about pairing up with @rachelwithey this week? I'll make a note to add you to the proper list when I'm at my computer tonight...
January 11th, 2016
@northy thanks. @beachdog I'll try and set a challenge tonight but if not will be first thing tomorrow, hope that is ok.
January 12th, 2016
@northy Thanks for that. No worries - Rachel and I have paired up and all good. Cheers. Barb

@northy I need to drop off the list for a while. I'm needing to work on some other things right now. Thanks for keeping this going. I do enjoy it and will come back!
