Android Central Photo Contest: Light bulb

[Andrew Martonik]

Edison bulbs. Taken with a Galaxy S6.

Lights are pretty important for keeping our lives functioning smoothly, but they can also be worked into designs that really light up your day. While you may not think about taking photos of light bulbs at first, once you start looking around you can find some really interesting subject matter. We're sure you can come up with something great.

Two people will win prizes for their entries in this latest contest, and each one will take home a Nexus Player! That's a great prize and we're sure you'll all work hard to win it.

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 (June 30) night at 11:59 PM 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!

Photographed with Google Camera in Image Blur on the porch of an abandoned mansion from my Nexus 4. Edited in Snapseed.

In a place of shattered dreams a lone light bulb hangs lifeless, but unbroken. Blades that once belonged to the fan its fixture featured have long since faded to dust along with the porch swing. The brick mansion stands a reminder of the gambler's good fortune, once proud now reduced to ruin.

This is a shot I took of a light bulb at a restaurant in Phoenix with Camera FV-5 on a Nexus 5 and I edited it a little with Snapseed. With it's old design style, the minute I saw the bulb, I had to grab a shot of it.

Here is the picture I took with my beloved Sharp Aquos Zeta SH-06E. I just edited it a little by Google Photos tools. Hope it's not too noisy.



I took this pic after a very long day at work back in January. It's 9PM and I had to ride the bike through heavy rain to get to my colleague's cofffee shop' re-opening ceremony. I was so cold but when I looked up at the ceilling, those light bulbs with a gentle light color instantly warmed me up, so I took out my phone and snapped.
