Weekly Photo Contest: Sexy Beach!

[Leanna Lofte]

We're in the middle of summer which means trips to beaches, lakes, rivers, and just about any body of water we can find. And what do you get when you combine the hot summer sun with water? Half-naked hot bodies! Need we say more? Let's see those sexy beach photos! Now, by "beach", we don't actually mean only the beach -- we're really just looking for an excuse to see sexy bodies -- both male and female! As always, be creative with your photos and find some sexy angles!

Seriously, though, be tasteful. Keep it PG-13, please.

The prize: Glif tripod mount and stand!

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!

Resources

Now, before you run off to take your photos, 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 these articles from our iPhone photography series for some tips.

here's my entry:

i'm doing a project called "100 Strangers" with film photography, where i meet 100 strangers and take their portrait while telling my followers a little bit about them. this is Carmella, a really sweet lady i met at a beach called "Children's Pool" in La Jolla, CA. unfortunately my film camera hit my head really hard while returning to shore and rewinded itself. but she seemed so happy I wanted to photograph her, so I used my iPhone instead.

also i realize this contest is entitled "Sexy Beach"....and personally there is nothing sexier than a woman with an outgoing personality and a nice smile. :]

This might be my favorite contest entry ever. I may have to use my opportunity of being on and near a beach to utilize this opportunity.

Dcastro13 -- Cool photos! There are 2 aspects I really like (especially in photo 2). 1) The sand texture, & 2) the green color in the water. Well done.
