Animal - 0,047 kilometer per hour by @betterthanhome.

This was simple yet awesome image of a snail. One thing that caught my eye with this photo was the beauty of it, but it also got me thinking how as photographers, we have trained ourselves to be on the lookout for opportunities to photograph something like this. Most people do not take the time to stop and appreciate the beauty in all things, but when everyone sees an image like this, I am sure they can all agree how great it looks. Plus the title of the post is very clever.

Gabriel Urban Photoshoot using complementary colors by @gabyoraa

This is a post from one of our own members of the @helpie community. @gabyoraa explains how she is using the Color Wheel and experimenting with contrasting colors and how the different colors can evoke different emotions in photography. Gaby is an amazing photographer and these photographs are truly one of a kind.

A WORLD OF DROPS by @juancarlos1175

I came across @juancarlos1175's work about a month or so ago and I instantly became a fan. Then I saw some of his water droplet photography and I was amazed at the little pictures that he was able to capture inside of the drops. When I came across this post I was super excited because now I have an idea how he creates these masterpieces and we can all try to do it too. Thank you @juancarlos1175 for sharing some of your photography tips with everyone.
