as a reminder (not that i think anyone needs it - but just in case it's useful :D)...
some folks don't post much on the weekends, post in clumps (ie: 3 or 4 days of shots in one go) or are at a point in their project when they only post a few times a week... soooo - if your partner doesn't get back to you right away, or appears to be a few days behind, please give it a day or so before asking for a new partner...
i am not a techie and have no way to come up with a program that will prevent repeat pairings from occurring... sometimes it's easy enough to switch out, but not always... so if you end up with someone you've been partnered with before, consider it an opportunity to kick it up a notch now that you kinda know each other, or, y'know for revenge (did they make you do a high key selfie? spend hours trying to figure out how to get a water drop shot? shoot in colour?? ;p)... just sayin'
and, as always, if i left you off by mistake (or left you in by mistake!), misspelt your name or otherwise mucked things up, please let me know...
-- Saturday / Sunday, October 19th and 20th - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday October 21st thru Sunday October 27th - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-66, and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, October 28th - the winner of week 65 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
IF YOU NEED TO BOW OUT AFTER THE PAIRINGS HAVE BEEN POSTED please let me know in this thread AND please tag your partner... that way they know not to peruse your album, and if someone else pops up looking for a partner before i have a chance to check in, they will be able to sort things out themselves :)
*************************************************************************
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-66
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.
@northy Sorry, Northy, I'd like to bow out for a few weeks as things are pretty hectic at the moment. Will let you know when I want in again. Apologies to my partner this week, who would have been @seahawker .
@homeschoolmom hi Lisa... i've added you to the list to be paired up next week... meanwhile, how about you pair up with @seahawker as their partner had to pull out this week...
@northy What is get pushed about and how could I get involved, haven't been around much lately after a tragic lose, now have a lot of time to fill and keep me interested in my photography.
@appsie Hi Ian... i am so sorry for your loss... i find photography very engrossing and i can imagine it's a great way to take your mind of things...
in the "get pushed" challenge you get paired up with someone new each week and give each other a photo challenge... to choose a challenge, you would look thru their project to see what kinds of things they generally photograph and then come up with something that they don't seem to do much... so if they shoot mostly flowers and birds, maybe suggest architecture or cars... if they shoot mostly bold colours, maybe they could try black and white... or, to try a night shot, or long exposure, or shooting reflections, shadows, white on white... whatever strikes your fancy and seems like a suitable stretch for that particular individual...
i've just announced this week's pairings, but i can add you to the list for next week... and if you're interested, if anyone else comes along this week looking for a partner you could get paired up with them...
@northy I have loved this but I think I have to bow out, this will be my last week. I have been too busy to participate fully and it isn't fair to my partners. I may jump back it some time. Thanks for all your hard work.
