PLEASE BE SURE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR PARTNER BY MONDAY AT THE LATEST...
if you do not get a challenge by end of day Monday, please let me know and i will do my best to get things sorted...
If you do not get in touch with your partner by Monday, I will take your name off the list until you let me know that you are back and WILL be playing... this is not meant to be punitive - it is just intended to minimize disappointment for those who are playing consistently :)
-- if i left your name ON by mistake, left your name OFF by mistake, or made a MISTAKE in spelling your name, please let me know by responding to this thread and i'll fix things up...
-- if you are interested in joining this challenge, respond in this thread and i will add you to the list... if it's not too late in the week, you'll likely be able to play this week...
-- if you find you must bow out of the game after i've posted the list, please let me know ASAP in this thread, and please tag your partner... i will do my best to find a them a new partner...
-- if you don't get a challenge by late afternoon Monday, let me know in this thread... PLEASE do not suffer in silence! even if you're ok with not playing this week, the person paired with your partner next week may be very disappointed... letting me know about inactive players is the only way i can keep the list up-to-date...

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.
-- Find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday August 28 thru Sunday September 3 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-266 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, September 4 - the winner of week 265 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-266
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.
I had to complain but I don't think @sdutoit is posting any get-pushed pictures. The two people before me posted her challenge on the same picture and there were no pictures from her and she did not post one for me. When you give it your all to answer a challenge you want to see the other person answer your challenge. MY happiest moments are when the person I challenged makes it to the finalist. Maybe others don't care about the other person answering their challenge but just expressing my opinion. I like Sylvia.
@northy@angiedanielle24 hello... i noticed people posted a collage in previous challenge, am I supposed to do that too? Post one picture but image collage of the topic given? it's my first challenge, so I am very excited about it :)
@julianneovie hi Julianne... probably the person whose picture you looked at was challenged to do a collage... or felt that a collage was an appropriate way to respond to her challenge... but in general, no, there is no need to do a collage for get pushed if that isn't part of the challenge that was issued to you...
Joan sorry for your complain, Northy I think take my name off for now. I will join later on when my health is in good shape again. Thanks for the joy you gave me in taking part up to now.
Joans complant refers. Joan below my challenge on 22/8/2017

i will be away travelling for the first half of the week so my partner will need to know this, i can issue the challenge of using slowsync flash using this link for info http://www.exposureguide.com/slow-sync-flash.htm if you could let whoever it is know
Hi @northy - just to keep you up to date: I haven't gotten a challenge this past week from @jorlam , which is OK with me with all our traveling and getting ready for the new school year. But it might be relevant for the next round. Thanks and thank you for organising it and keeping it going!
@northy Sorry i've not been on site - been unwell.. i don't feel ready to rush back into get-pushed just now. therefore could you please take my name from the list.. thank you.
Tweets ahoy!
