-- Saturday / Sunday, May 25th and 26th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday May 27th thru Sunday June 2nd - take a picture in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-45, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, June 3rd - winner of week 44 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-45
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.
Thanks a lot for all your effort, Northy. This will be my 4th Get-Pushed and it's so challenging and great to discover other projects. Very stimulating and exiting!
@palmilla hi Palmilla... it is quite possible someone else will show up this week in search of a partner, in which case you will get paired up... if not, i've put you on the list and you will get paired up next week for sure...
@manic hi Manic... it's easy... you ask me to add you to the list... i do the pairings every Saturday and once you're on the list, you stay on it, until you ask to be dropped off :)
@northy Sorry to bother you, but my partner @frida seems to be missing in action, her last post was on the 22nd of May and I have not heard from her. Any ideas?
@corgimom hmmm... i've "seen" her around commenting a bit the last few days... but she's just started a new job and is tight for time... i will check with her to see if she's still playing...
@northy Hey there, I may be on your list to start back up with Get Pushed next week, but can you just continue to leave me off til further notice? Thanks a bunch! (If you already have me matched, I should be able to do next week, then leave me off after that) Just a lot going on.
@northy Hi! I'm back from my travels over past 3 months or so and looking forward to trying out some more challenges. The challenges were the main cause of the improvement to my photography last time around. Please will you add me to your list to be paired for this weekend?
@northy I am not going to be able to participate in the get pushed challenge for a few weeks. I will drop back in mid July. Thank you for taking me off the list - oh the guilt of not keeping up!
@northy Hi there - can you take me off get pushed for the next round - I'll let you know when I'm back - leaving town end of this week and won't have time to commit this round.
