Get Pushed Week 341 - Monday Feb 4 to Sunday Feb 10

February 3rd, 2019
happy Groundhog Day :D

for newcomers to "get pushed", i've posted a separate thread with some FAQs about the get pushed challenge... you can find it here:

https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/32546/get-pushed-faqs-2019

*******************************************************************

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 :)

****************************************************************

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS

-- 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...

****************************************************************

ALSO IMPORTANT!!!

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.

*****************************************************

Week 341 Dates

-- Find your partner and issue a challenge
-- Monday Feb 4 thru Sunday Feb 10 - take a picture (or pictures) in response to the challenge issued to you, and post it with the tag: Get-Pushed-341 and comment on the photos taken in response to your challenge
-- Monday, Feb 11 - the winner of week 340 will pick 5 finalists for a vote

*********************************************************************

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.

6. Make sure to tag your shot for the challenge.... Get-Pushed-341

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.

Happy trails!!!!

Hello northy,
Can I go out of game for a while? My partner @farmreporter
I'm trying to focus on other challenge. :)
February 3rd, 2019
@arnica17
I understand. Not a problem.
But, maybe I could issue you a super simple challenge that would not take up much of your time or even incorporate it into the challenge you are working on.
Would sure hate to lose you out of this fabulous challenge.

@arnica17
I did issue you a challenge that will work for both. Are you willing to stay in now?
February 3rd, 2019
@farmreporter that's so considerate of you.. well I guess I'm in.
But probably next week I'm out.. @northy

Looks like my partner hasn't been around since the 24th, but if he doesn't make an appearance I'm totally fine with taking a week off.

@kymmisue Kimberly -- sorry I am moving combined with busienss travel so have not had a chance to spend time of the computer to upload photos - thank you for your consideration. @northy I will be up for next week.
February 7th, 2019
@jaybutterfield Oh, you are totally fine! I have my weeks where I struggle and need a break every now and then, too. I will gladly take a break! :)
February 8th, 2019
@northy unfortunately it does not look like I will be able to participate for the near future. I have suspended my project for this month due to a number of personal matters that are making it difficult to continue. Please take me off the list for now and I hope to return soon

I think I’m going to bow out, too. My daughter’s school projects have been kicked up a notch and I need to help focus on her studies. So the majority of my pictures is going to be of the kiddos!
