Get Pushed Week 204 - Monday June 20 to Sunday June 26

June 19th, 2016
for all the newcomers to "get pushed", 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 204 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday June 18 and 19 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday June 20 thru Sunday June 26 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-204 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, June 27 - the winner of week 203 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-204

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!!!!

Hi @northy - could you please take me off the list from next week? I hope to get back into the get-pushed when I have a bit more time on my hands (this week's still fine though). thanks
June 19th, 2016
Hi @northy, please I would like to be removed from the list after this week, at least for now
June 19th, 2016
I'd be interested to participate, if you need a partner for someone.
June 19th, 2016
@transatlantic99 hi Heidi... i've added you to the list to be paired up for next week... for this week, if you wait a day or two, quite possibly someone else will come along looking for a partner...
June 20th, 2016
Hi Northy - no contact from @dishaparekh176 yet...
June 21st, 2016
@caj1311 hmmmmm... And she's a week behind in her project... How about pairing up with @transatlantic99 this week... If Disha pops in I'll find someone else to be her partner...
June 21st, 2016
@andywallis has not responded yet either. I don't think he's been on 365 since 9 June.
June 21st, 2016
@homeschoolmom Sorry, I've been busy/rubbish lately, but do have a challenge for you. Will post it this morning.
June 21st, 2016
@northy Hi! For the upcoming week - Get Pushed 205 - could you please take my name off the list? With all the move stuff going on, I don't think I will be able to handle it all. I will joint back in later when I have more time. Thanks!
June 23rd, 2016
@northy I am just not up to participating for a couple of weeks. Will sign back in when I have recouped from the radiation treatments. Only 8 left to go.
June 23rd, 2016
@caj1311 @northy Hi Cindy and Northy. I am really sorry for missing out on this and all the inconveniences caused by my absence. I was away on a safari in Eastern Africa for a while and as soon as I got back, I came down with a bacterial blood infection I had picked up in the wilderness so was hospitalised until yesterday! I am so sorry but I'll be back on track from today and participating in Get Pushed again next week.
June 23rd, 2016
Gosh that sounds terrible @dishaparekh - hope you are on the mend! No worries at all - look forward to seeing more of your shots!
June 24th, 2016
@northy Please remove me from the list for the moment. I am having a few (minor) health problems and falling behind with everything. Thank you.
July 2nd, 2016
