Editor's review

A good photo has the ability to draw an amazing amount of emotional response from many people. We might not be able to put our fingers on exactly what it is that delivers such a pleasurable reaction but there's little doubt it's there - front and center. Years back, we could cite the quality of the equipment that we used to get that eye-popping shot. However, the quality of cameras these days is astonishing whether you are using a stand-alone camera or the camera on your smartphone. So, one has to assume that it's more about skill, technique and great composition than about superior equipment. And those are all things that can be learned and improved upon. 

To me, the best way of improving one's photographic skills is to share photos, get expert feedback and to be inspired by other photographers. ViewBug is a great place to do all that. Here is a community where you can join millions of photographers - of all different skill levels and from the four corners of the world - in collaborating and sharing your best photos. It doesn't matter whether you are taking portraits of your favorite people, sharing your travel adventures, documenting your lifestyle or composing pictures of the most beautiful landscapes, ViewBug is a new free photographic app for iOS and Android that has everything that you are looking for. 

It's a place where you can follow and be inspired by your favorite photographers, enter some great photographic contests and even launch photo challenges of your own for your creative community. ViewBug carries a unique set of tools and features that includes the aforementioned contests and challenges as well as a logo generator, Lightroom presets, crowdsourced photo galleries, tutorials, tips from experts and classes to improve your skills with new content added every day. There's even a snappy little website builder which can be put together in minutes to display your work. It can be customized easily using your own domain . However, the main reason that the app exists is to showcase your artistic talents. 

To get started, all you have to do is to create your free ViewBug account and then you can begin uploading your finest photos to the community. You can connect with the photographers that you enjoy the most and join in with the many contests and challenges on offer. All the challenges are created by members of your photographic community. The bottom line here is that you can gain more exposure for your work and even get rewarded with prizes if your shots are good enough. 

Photography is one of those things where you can never stop learning. ViewBug is an inspiring photography app where you can not only show off your photographic skills and win prizes but also learn a lot - either from the classes and tutorials run by experts or from your fellow community members. Right now, there are over two million ViewBug users which is a heck of a lot of people to learn from and to show off your work to. ViewBug is available now for free for iPhone, iPad and Android and it can be downloaded from the relevant App Store.
