Get Pushed Week 236 - Monday Jan 30 to Sunday Feb 5

January 28th, 2017
for 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/29040/get-pushed-faq-for-2017

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

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 236 Dates

-- Saturday & Sunday Jan 28 and 29 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Jan 30 thru Sunday Feb 5 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-236 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, Feb 6 - the winner of week 235 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-236

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 I never got a response from my challenger this week @traeumerlein
January 31st, 2017
@vickie10 hi Vickie... thank you for letting me know... looks like Lisa has already gotten behind in her project... i will put her on the missing list for now... how about you check in with @lizzitinfish who recently asked to get added to the list?
January 31st, 2017
HI @northy thanks as always for organising this every week. Please can I be taken off the list for February, I will return again in March. :)
January 31st, 2017
@vickie10 happy to get involved
January 31st, 2017
@northy probably be a bit slow here, as this is my first get pushed but how do I contact victim directly?
January 31st, 2017
@lizzitinfish heehee :). I expect you meant to say Vickie, not victim ;p

If you click on her profile or the blue username you will be directed to her project page... you can leave a note on her latest picture indicating you're happy to pair up w her and issue her a challenge
January 31st, 2017
@northy oooops! Great, thanks.
February 1st, 2017
@lizzitinfish @northy victim .. hilarious! 😂
February 1st, 2017
@vickie10 sorry! And I don't get a second chance to make a first impression! Don't you just love predictive text.

@northy - I have not gotten a challenge from my partner this week @joansmor. I did issue one to her and she has been posting (not one of the challenge I gave her ... yet). I'm okay with not doing something this week, however, since I had a procedure done and it would be hard for me to do something out of the ordinary, but I just wanted to let you (and her) know that for next week there will be a different partner and they may be looking forward to getting a challenge :) Again, no biggie for me this week.

@not_left_handed So sorry I got distracted with my new retirement. I am taking two digital scrapping classes, two yoga classes and finishing up at work. But with so much time to play I lose track of time. I am usually better at this. I did look at you pictures. I am involved in the lightamateur group so I would challenge you to take a picture on a white background inside. See our current discussion - http://365project.org/discuss/general/29260/lightamateur-challenge
I will do yoyr challenge before the week is out. Mia Cuppa

@joansmor Oh believe me I understand that we can get distracted! I will do my best with your challenge - thanks, hon.
