As of tomorrow (Friday July 5) i will be away for a week with limited internet access... so - if you guys can help organize yourselves as the week goes on, that would be good!
-- Saturday / Sunday, July 6th and 7th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday July 8th thru Sunday July 14th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-51, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, July 15th - the winner of week 50 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-51
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.
Hi @northy, I'm sorry, but could you can count me out for now? I'm going away for a while too and I don't know what my access to the internet will be like. Thanks
@northy could i drop out of the challenge again for a few weeks just out of hospital sorry i have not let you know before been a little busy thanks Paul.
@frankhymus i am fine just come out of hospital after a little operation and i can't go out and about with camera so much, i can only do shots inside the house so i just thought i would give, this challenge a break for a few weeks while i get back out and about, and the Blood Pressure is back to normal. Thank you for your concern Frank :)
@nkawoods hi Nancy... I'm travelling and don't have easy regular access to the Internet... But you can chk back here periodically to see of anyone else comes looking for a partner and join up w them
Hey @northy - I'm going to pull out of Get-Pushed for a while as I just don't seem to be getting round to my challenges and it seems a bit unfair on others. Thanks for all the organisation though :)
@mej2011 yup - I'll post the list tonight... Just got back from vacay this morning and have some stuff to do before I can settle down, update the list and do up the pairings :)
@northy Hi Northy, sorry to message you on this link, I couldn't find the week 52 one, can you take me off the list for a while, I'm about to start a very busy summer so I wont have time to take part.
Thanks, Lorraine.
we had an odd number this week so i put myself in, but i really don't have time to do it properly this week :(
@salemslot Paul, I hope you are doing well.
Up for it Frank?
Are you not organizing week 52? I thought it was usually up by now.
Thanks! Sorry, wasn't trying to be a pill.
Thanks, Lorraine.
