From epic sunsets to the little wins, here’s what’s lighting up our hearts!
As the year wraps up, we’re taking a moment to say THANK YOU to all the things that make photography (and life) so awesome. From breathtaking images to those “aha” moments, here are 18 things that we at VIEWBUG—and our amazing community—are super grateful for this year.
1. The VIEWBUG Fam
You’re the reason we do what we do! Every upload, comment, and creative shot keeps this community thriving.
2. Never Forgetting an Extra Battery
That one time you didn’t? Yeah, lesson learned. We’re grateful for all the photographers who double-check their bags like pros.
3. A Family That Supports the “One More Shot”
“Sure, we’ll wait while you chase the perfect angle for the 10th time.” Cheers to family members who love us through it all!
4. Cute Pets Who Strike a Pose
From goofy dogs to majestic cats, our furry (and scaly) friends deserve an award for being the ultimate photo muses.
5. Finding the Perfect Golden Hour
That magical glow? Pure bliss. Here’s to timing it just right and soaking up every dreamy, golden moment.
6. That Time the Color Pink Took Over
Pink sunsets, pink flowers, pink everything. This year, pink made the world pop, and we’re here for it.
7. Snacks That Keep Us Shooting
Whether it’s trail mix or an energy bar, we salute the snacks that power us through long shoots.
8. Landscapes That Leave Us Speechless
From misty mountains to endless deserts, your epic shots remind us how much beauty there is out there.
9. Capturing the Perfect Splash Shot
You know the one: water flying just right. Thanks for reminding us that patience (and a fast shutter speed) is key.
10. The Joy of New Gear Smell
Is there anything better than unboxing a new lens or camera? Nope, didn’t think so.
11. Silly “Behind the Scenes” Moments
Whether it’s tripping over a tripod or battling wind for that perfect shot, these moments make us laugh later.
12. Creative Editing That Blows Our Minds
Double exposures, surreal colors, jaw-dropping composites—y’all keep taking editing to new heights.
13. That One Photo That Wins the Contest
The one you knew was special the moment you clicked it. Seeing your excitement when you win? Priceless.
14. Macro Photography That Feels Like Magic
From intricate insect wings to dewdrops on petals, macro shots remind us to look closer.
15. Friendly Strangers Who Don’t Mind Being in the Shot
To the strangers who say, “Sure, I’ll walk through your frame for that perfect city shot”—we’re forever grateful.
16. Photographers Who Push the Limits
Hiking at sunrise, braving the rain, or lying flat on the ground—your dedication inspires us all.
17. That “YES!” Moment When You Nail the Shot
You know the one—the lighting, focus, and timing come together perfectly. That’s the moment we live for!
18. All the Stories Behind the Lens
Every photo has a story, and we’re so thankful to you for sharing yours. The emotions, adventures, and memories make it all so meaningful.
As we look back on the year, it’s clear that photography is more than a hobby—it’s a lifestyle, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to another year of creativity, connection, and community!
