Humans are always moving around for one reason or another, and with summer looming, we're soon more likely to be traveling than not. "Transportation" is the prompt for this week's photo contest, but that doesn't have to mean a big hunk of metal moving at high speeds. We all get around more modestly sometimes. If you think about it, there are plenty of ways to express the concept of "transportation."

This week we'll have a single winner for the contest, and for their efforts they'll receive a Samsung Gear 360 camera!

Entering is easy. Just drop your entry below. Tell us what Android you used to get the picture, and any back story you want to add to it. We'll leave this contest open for 3 weeks and announce the winner on the blog with the next contest.

Guidelines!
- 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!

Not a very fancy set of wheels, but I've had a box of Hot Wheels since I was a kid, and this one has always been one of my favorites.. Plus I like how the pic shows off all the scuffs on the little windshield 😊

Rainbow Beach, Australia. Samsung galaxy S6. Taking the Rubicon for a walk in the sand. If one gets the tide times wrong, the car takes a bath..

re: [CLOSED] Android Central Photo Contest: Transportation!

I have always been enamored with air travel. Growing up we didn't have enough money to travel on an airplane. These days I'm on a plane every couple of weeks. One of the best planes to travel these days is an Airbus A380. I took this shot from an American Airlines A319 whilst taking off at LAX last week Tuesday morning. Below you can clearly see the Qantas Airbus A380. The Pixel takes some phenomenal take off pictures.

re: [CLOSED] Android Central Photo Contest: Transportation!

This might be an odd perception of the theme, but this photo is of an incredible looking wall in an otherwise disgusting car park in the UK. I thought it fit the theme because car parks are where our transportation spends the majority of it's time.
Taken with my honor 8 smartphone.

I took this in Ewa Beach, HI on a Nexus 6 awhile back just after the sun began setting. You can still see the light hitting the hotels in Waikiki way back in the distance.

Edited in Snapseed

re: [CLOSED] Android Central Photo Contest: Transportation!

I drive a truck for a living. I initially thought about posting my truck, but I also love trains. I deliver primarily to paper mills, which often have their own switcher engines for their local yards. That means I often get to be rather close to rail operations. This is one of my personal favorite shots of one such switcher. I love the dark and almost moody atmosphere, like it's a sleeping giant.

Shot on my LG V20 in manual, then edited in Lightroom Mobile to bring out the colors a bit and reduce the noise.

I was playing with my twins at the playground when I suddenly saw this opportunistic snail who probably wanted just to move little faster.

A Ford Mustang 2015 edition with Ecoboost engine. Just one day, at night, I was going with my friends to cafeteria and then I and my friend saw this beauty.
Photo was taken by LG/Google Nexus 5X . I don't remember if I edited the picture or not 😂

About three weeks ago when visiting Paris, I saw this beautiful Citroën Traction Avant in the parking of our appartmentbuilding. This old French piece of art, in an old parking at the Quai des Celestins in Paris on the border of the river Seine. Quite some nostalgia...
Couldn't resist the urge, so I took my BlackBerry DTEK60 and made a photo with the camera quite close to the ground. I used Snapseed to edit the pic and add an old atmosphere to it, that reminds of the days that Simenon wrote stories of inspector Maigret...

Here is a photo from Route 64 in New Mexico. I had been traveling the state for the last two weeks and this was the first sign of civilization in a while. I took it on the Kyocera Duraforce, with no editing.
