Android Central Photo Contest: Paper

[Andrew Martonik]

Paper coaster. Taken with a Nexus 5X.

This is going to be one full of a wide variety of entries, as we're looking for your best picture following the prompt "paper." You can go any number of directions with this, so we can't wait to see what you come up with.

We're picking out three winners again in this latest contest, this time each will receive a $50 Google Play gift card!

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry in a post below. Tell us what Android you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. We'll pick a winner Tuesday (November 17) night at 11:59 p.m. ET, and announce them on the blog with the next contest.

• Pictures must be taken with an Android device
• Pictures must be uploaded to the contest thread. I'm not running all over the Internet to track them down.
• You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software you might have used. Editing your pictures is fine — this is art.
• Feel free to add a little back story — we want to know how the picture came to be.
• You must have used a valid email address to register here at AC, so I know how to contact the winner.
• Only one entry per contest per person.

Good luck, everyone!

In my young life of only 25 years, I have lost three close friends to cancer. Each of these friends where younger then me.

Tanabata Festival paper kazaris during Nisei Week in Little Tokyo. Always love walking through them every year on my way back and forth to work.

Shot with Nexus 6, crop and color in photo app.

Returning from a meeting in Stuttgart the only other people on my train were some soccer hooligans. The weather was drab and my finished copy of the "Stuttgarter Nachrichten" did not fit insight the bin. Applying a washed-out VSCO-filter the picture signified the drabness of the night perfectly well.
EDIT: forgot - Nexus 6 Manual Camera, editting: VSCO-Cam.

When I first bought the HTC M7 I realised the Camera was never going to be good at landscapes. 4Mp?? WTH HTC? so I had to learn a new way of taking shots. I love to take photos at this kind of close, odd angle now. and these Paper Clips just jumped out at me.

Taken with the LG V10. I was just inspired by the term paper also used as a term for money, and the thought of excitement one gets from finding a dollar on the ground.

Stare into the old man's eyes...

Foreign currency, varied countries, all paper.

Moto X Pure, stock camera app, color tweaked in Intensify Pro.

This is a calender which my father gets every year. He is in Air Force and this calender is beautifully designed.

When I was searching for something to click for the competition, my eyes suddenly got this and I clicked it.

With my super NEXUS 4.

I also used Snapseed for little enhancement.

Had the most trouble trying to post my picture.

I call this picture "dread in the morning"

"No time to waste"
Taken with my Nexus 6 and edited with Aviary app.

The photo was taken right after seeing the new contest in the AC app.

I took this picture with my LG G4 in manual mode and processed it in Snapseed. The book is an old edition of "East of Eden" and "The Wayward Bus" by John Steinbeck that I found at a consignment shop. I always am on the lookout for old books and since I have always adored John Steinbeck, this book was a major score for me.

This picture was taken with my Nexus 6P. Edited with Snapseed for brightness.

About a year ago I made a wallpaper using Material Design guidelines that looks like this. I've liked it so much I've been using it as my wallpaper on every device since then. I was inspired to "remake" it using actual paper, partly because of this contest, but also partly because of the "Art Behind Android Marshmallow's New Wallpapers" article (check Google's design page). Seeing these awesome wallpapers made with actual paper is really cool. So I gave it a shot. I went to an Arts and Crafts store and bought some paper with similar colors and arranged them accordingly, then with my Nexus 6P, snapped a picture. Lighting wasn't ideal so I edited it in Snapseed to make it brighter.

Hope you enjoy!

Taken in a National trust property in the UK (Waddesdon Manor) on LG G4, no edit.
The colour and texture give a 'regal' feel to this protected property.

Same paper, different ideologies...? Perhaps just different methodologies.
Shot using my nexus 4. Edited using vignette effect after i brightened up the image.
