Anyone can stick up a shack on the sand, stock it with beers and call it a beach bar.

But what makes a great beach bar?

It could be the sand-in-your-toes factor, or the washing and hissing of the waves nearby, or the sunsets or the people you meet.

iPhone photos like you've never seen

Posted: 19 Sep 2011 03:00 PM PDT

Hong Kong journalist Liam Fitzpatrick shot a bunch of photos on his iPhone and fiddled around with them using photo apps.

The images defy expectations of the iPhone's tiny camera -- in Fitzpatrick's case, the iPhone 3GS three-megapixel camera -- typically more suited for close-range shots of people or that universally preferred subject, food.
