Very good site I have been on Viewbug for 3 years, a very good site with high quality photos, community challenges, and contests. There is always something to do and discover

Having started at the bottom and worked… Having started at the bottom and worked my way up in this profession, I've always encouraged 'beginners' and helped them as best I could. I even wondered if my assistants and/or students wouldn't produce greater pics than me......I really hoped they would!

Wow, the community is tight-knit Wow, the community is tight-knit and super supportive! You can sense the camaraderie, and the tips you get from others are genuinely helpful. It's more than just a contest platform; it's a learning hub.

Viewbug really treats every person with… Viewbug really treats every person with poise, appreciation, and optimism no matter your skill set. They believe in you and you're creations and offer you others views, suggestions and wisdom on how to improve your technique with positive input. The contests are neverending along with other members challenges. Also it is a great opportunity to meet people from places you may never be able to adventure personally and see fantastic works from all around the world!

Very unhappy member I have been a top 10% contributor for several years but I have decided not to renew my membership. When I joined it was all about gaining points and awards. I accumulated over 4 million points and then the points disappeared and we got "coins". The top prices/rewards needing 80,000 coins were bought straight away although the top person on the leaderboard had at the time only a quarter of that, so I don't know what happened there. I live in the UK and most of the rewards are only applicable to to people living in the US. This is apart from E-books which I find quite basic and of no use to me. I have raised the question as to what is happening with the points on several; occasions, but only ever received a glib answer. I also won a contest several months ago, but I have never received the prize which was a canon lens. I have asked when I will receive my prize time and time again via email, but to-date still haven't received an answer. I received a message on viewbug messages from Ollie who apparently is a co-founder, this was when my membership had lapsed. I have returned his message asking the questions above, but of course never received a reply. This is a sad state of affairs as I liked the camaraderie of the site. But enough is enough.
