It's time to announce this week's photo contest -- lens flare! With all the hype surrounding purple flare on the iPhone 5, we figured it'd be fun to have a photo contest dedicated to lens flare. The winning entry will not necessarily contain purple lens flare, however, so don't consider this a requirement. Just get creative with lens flare, and if purple flare adds to the creativity, then by all means, try to include it!

The prize: $30 iTunes gift card

The rules: The rules of entry are very simple. The photo must have been taken with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (we'll check the EXIF data of the original file to verify) and any edits must have been done with an iPhone or iPad app. No Photoshop CS6! If you have external lens accessories, you are more than welcome to use them. You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but remember, this is a contest, so make sure you submit your best work!

The contest begins now and ends next Monday, October 29 at 5p Pacific.

Sunset captured in front of the Boston bus station. Pictures are taken with my iPhone 4 and combined using iPhone app FrameArtist. Hope you'll like it.

By the way, I forget to mention that there is no FX or edits on the pics, they are original just combined 3 in 1 with iPhone app FrameArtist.
