Weekend hashtag project: #whpplanetearth earth day is just around the corner, so this weekend the challenge is to capture our home planet through your lens. for inspiration, check out the featured image by patrick monatsberger (@moners ). here are some tips to get started:
🌏 explore the world. climb a mountain — or a majestic tree in your own backyard. whether big or small, find a landscape that shows what our planet has to offer.
🌍 meet your neighbors. keep an eye out for earth’s inhabitants – human and animal alike. whether it’s your lifelong fluffy friend or a ladybug you just met.
🌎 bright mornings, sunsets and night stars. think of how the time of day and time of year might play a role.

Weekend hashtag project: #whpvibes good vibes only. this weekend the challenge is to capture an atmosphere and mood, as in this featured image by hong kong-based photographer zhao yuk (@zy.0516 ). feeling it? here are more tips for inspiration:
😎 express the energy. when there’s high energy, there’s often a strong vibe. think of a spontaneous, late-night dance party or friends racing into the ocean’s waves.
😎 find an ambiance. go to a place that’s drenched in atmosphere, like a beach bonfire right before sunset or pretty much any place with a giant disco ball.
😎 feel it out. the right vibe is not always bright and loud. spend a quiet afternoon enjoying ice cream, blowing bubbles or day dreaming to your heart’s content.
