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...
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.
-- Saturday & Sunday Feb 4 and 5 - find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Feb 6 thru Sunday Feb 12 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-237 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, Feb 13 - the winner of week 236 will pick 5 finalists for a vote
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-237
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 is this last week's list? Anne @frappa77 and i were paired for get-pushed-236. if, by chance, we have been paired for this coming week i will happily give it a go.. just checking :-)
@jorlam ??? i thought you were paired with 365Anne last week? certainly it's possible to have repeat matches - it's all done randomly... but i don't show you as being paired with frappa77 in past couple of weeks...
@northy i do beg your pardon, not seeing too good just now.. i'm frazzled with sciatica.. it was get-pushed-234 not 236 that we were paired. it seems so recent.
i'm afraid it's another very senior moment.. lol
Hi @northy sorry I did request on last weeks game that I be taken off the list till march please. Would it be possible for you to pair Laura up with someone else? If not, I can sort out a push for her.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond hi Jackie... someone posted to the FAQ thread asking to be added... I'm on the go and can't check easily, but if you head over there, I'm sure you will see their name and you can pair up with them...
@northy@30pics4jackiesdiamond I want to apologize for not giving any notice or for any inconvenience i may have caused for this challenge. I had gotten called away out of town on a family emergency and my head was just not in the right place. Once again I am So Sorry. @northy Go ahead and remove me from the list because i may not be able to commit for awhile til things are squared away. I will come back when i can be committed to the challenge. Sorry JackieR.
@Northy
Hi Northy! I'm struggling a lot to find the time to take photographies this period and decided that is better to have a stop with the get-pushed-challenge for a bit! I'm always in late with posting and don't want anyone to be disappointed! Hope to be able to start again soon... Thank you very much for this fantastic opportunity and for your precious work! A big hug! :)
nb. if it's too late and you have already paired me with someone for the next week no problem... I don't want to leave anybody alone and try to do my best to answer to the challenge for this time! ;)
nb. I apologize with my english, I'm always afraid to write something wrong and to be misunderstood! :/
Tweets ahoy!
