Weekly Photo Contest: the Birds and the Bees

[Michelle Haag]

Submitted by user co_mtn_grl​

With summer in full swing, there is no shortage of sunshine to enjoy, and you can't help but see all kinds of flying things while you're out there. This week the photo contest theme is Birds & Bees, because they are both plentiful this time of year! Have some fun with this one, but be careful and don't get stung! Take your best shot and maybe you'll be the winner next week!

The contest begins now and ends Tuesday August 5th at 11:59 PDT. Good luck!

Now on to the details of this week's photo contest...

The prize:

The winner of this week's photo contest will snag a $25 iTunes gift card to use towards whatever they want in both iTunes and the App Store! Been eyeing some new photo editing apps you'd really like to get your hands on? Here's your chance to snag some of them, compliments of iMore!

The rules

Submitted photos 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, Lightroom, or other external editing programs! If you have external lens accessories such as an Olloclip or other snap-on lens, 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!

Resources

Now, before you run off to take your photo, remember that it's not technical skill alone that will claim this prize. Even if you're not the best photographer (yet!), a great eye and a great subject can still get you the win.

However, a little help can never hurt, so make sure you check out our iPhone photography series for some tips.

How to submit

To submit your photos, simply attach them to this thread, that's it! If you don't have a Mac or PC to upload them, you can download the free Tapatalk forum app and upload them directly from your iPhone or iPad. Hit the link below to download it. No photos submitted outside of this thread will be considered, NO EXCEPTIONS.

1) Carrier Pigeons In Flight.
2) Not sure if this second one counts, but it does try to fly short distances with tiny wings.
