Get Pushed 40 - Monday April 22 to Sunday April 28

[☠northy]

where on earth does the time go? i can't believe we're headed into the end of April! so here we are again... another week, and another round of pairings...

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

As always...

- if I've left you off the list when you should be on (or left you on when you should be off), please post to this thread ONLY and i will get it fixed... (it becomes awfully challenging to keep track when you post to other threads)

-- If you've never played before but want to join up, please post to this thread as well...

*************************************************************************
Week 40 Dates

-- Saturday / Sunday, April 20th and 21st - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday April 22nd thru Sunday April 28th - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-40, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, April 29th - winner of week 39 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

IF YOU ARE PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE WHO IS MIA:
(hasn't posted in a couple weeks or does not post a challenge to you by Tuesday at midnight GMT), then:

(1) please let me know by responding to this thread... AND

(2) PLEASE TAG THE PERSON IN YOUR RESPONSE... this does 2 things... (1) it gives a little nudge to your partner and (2) it helps me because then i don't have to search thru my spreadsheet to see who you are partnered with before going to my master list spreadsheet to note that they are MIA :)

*************************************************************************
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. You really should do this because if nothing else, it helps the previous week's winner when they have to choose this week's finalists... besides, if someone is cruising the photos with a "get pushed" tag, they like to see what the challenge was when looking at your photo :)

6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-40

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.

Let the fun begin!!

Hi Northy,

I did want to jump back in the fray.

—Jim

[Edie]

I'll give It a go.

[☠northy]

@squamloon @edie how about you two pair up for this week?

[Edie]

I'm already going through his album.

[Rafa Seno]

Oh ehm, @degarvery is MIA. Can't find my partner. Account missing. :DDD

[☠northy]

@rafaseno sorry... try @degarvey - not sure how the spelling error crept in like that...

[Katie]

Think there was a typo and that my partner is actually @my_photofun .

[Rafa Seno]

@northy Hihi. Got it, the last one you posted worked. Thanks!

[☠northy]

@archaeofrog methinks you are correct... tx!

[SquamLoon]

Thanks Northy ! Hi @edie. Thanks for all the comments! I'll be in touch after I get a few moments to respond in kind.

[Paula]

@northy I know how challenging this can be for you, but I think I got matched with week 39's partner again for this weeks get pushed challenge.

[MorganDonner]

I am afrind that my schedule has become extra busy for the next few weeks, and i will need to bow out for the time being. @rainechan will need a new partner.

[☠northy]

@phillyphotos rats... ok - if you and @nikolinadimitrova can hold tight a day, likely someone else will ask to play and then you two and split up and @rainechan can partner with one of you...

[Paula]

@northy take your time, someone usually pops up.

[Janet]

@northy It looks like @wallflowersvm has gone MIA - account missing!

[☠northy]

@janturnbull goodness... certainly seems so... went back and checked and the spelling is correct...

ok - how about you pair up with @phillyphotos

and then @rainechan can pair up with @nikolinadimitrova

[Janet]

OK thanks @northy , I will contact @phillyphotos .

[Tineke]

I'm so sorry I should have posted earlier - my Dads sick so I didn't even get around to this weeks challenge so best I get taken off until I can find time.

Thanks for all your hard work, it's good having a challenge

[Raine]

Sounds good to me!

[Edie]

@northy So, is it as many shots as you want? One shot? A shot every day for a week? What's the dealio.

[☠northy]

@tnaki oh no! so sorry about your dad... hope he gets better quickly!

[☠northy]

@edie your own rules, Edie :) do as many or as few as you want!

[Mac]

I think my partner is MIA.

[☠northy]

@riverlandphotos hmmm... you could well be right... rats! ok - here's one thought... @sparkle 's partner has had to bow out... now Juliette is on vacation and altho' she often posts quite regularly even whilst travelling, i asked her if she wanted a new partner... she hasn't responded yet, but you could go to her page and post directly to her... or you could see if someone else comes along within the next day or so...

[Mac]

I'll just travel on over there and ask, many thanks!

[Angela]

I'm going to have to back out on this for the next week please. I'm having a hard time finding the time to even take my pictures, much less get out for the challenges :-/ Maybe when life settles a bit.

[Paul Wright]

@northy i too will have to back out of this for at least a week for the same reasons as @angelamarie1437 sorry northy, i know you have sorted someone for me to pair up with.
Paul.

[Angela]

Actually @northy, we could reassign my partner to @salemslot partner this week if possible.

[Deni]

@hagata not contacted me yet?

[Genki]

@denidouble I'm usually late to the party since my weekends are swamped. I got your challenge but still need to go through your gallery and issue you yours. I'll make sure I get it done by tonight :)

[Deni]

@hagata cheers know how you feel re weekends, will be online myself later.

[Martin Brunner]

hi northy - I'd like to rejoin, can you please put me back onto the list.
thank you :-)

[melissa]

@northy
I'm dealing with a family emergency at the moment. Can you please remove me from the list until further notice? Thank You!
Also, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to my challenge for this week or not, but my partner was issued a challenge. @wenbow

[☠northy]

@angelamarie1437 @salemslot ok - taken you two out... @jameshislop can pair up with @evahenriette for this week

@mej2011 so sorry to hear that Melissa... hope everything is ok...

@mbrunner adding you back to the list... did you want to play this week? @riverlandphotos is in search of a partner...

[Martin Brunner]

@northy thanks! yeah - lets start right away! @riverlandphotos

[Anna Sophia]

Hey I'd like to join from next week onwards :)

[☠northy]

@anna_sophia ok - adding you to the list

[April Milani]

Ill be gone for the next few weeks. Ill let you know when I get back and am ready for a push=). Thank you

[Alison]

@northy really sorry to do this, I managed to pair up for 40, and was hoping after I asked to rejoin, to 'play along' next week, but I need to withdraw, sorry ~ my camera is caput and I think it may take some weeks to get fixed

[Matthew Bright]

@northy I'll give it a go on the next one for sure. I have only just started 365 but this seems like it could be good for us. Thanks to Alison about "Get Pushed"

[KT]

New here, but I think I'd like to join this, maybe starting next week? Then I'll have a few more example photos in my albums, and I need a serious skill improvement push :).

[☠northy]

@brightphotography @kt365 adding you two to the list for next week...

@alisonp nooooo! how postively frustrating for you... i would go bananas... hope they fix it quickly... no old p&s's lying in a drawer gathering dust you could get re-acquainted with?
