Weekly Photo Contest: Height

[Andrew Martonik]

Times Square buildings. Taken with the Nexus 5.

We're moving right along with our weekly photo contests, sticking to relatively broad topics to try and get as much participation as possible. The number of entries the past few weeks have been fantastic, and we're hoping that this week's prompt of "height" will bring in the same results. There are an uncountable number of ways to express the idea of height, and we can't wait to see what you have to show us this week.

For your effort this week you'll be put in the running to win an Android Central T-shirt, and we'll be selecting four winners this week to receive one.

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 (July 7) night at 11:59 PM ET, and announce them on the blog with next Wednesday's 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 week per person.

Good luck, everyone!

This photo was taken in February 2014 in Dubai. It was my first foreign trip and it was so nice to see such tall, amazing buildings!
Taken on a Nexus 5 with photosphere mode and edited on VSCO Cam.

Background structure is an old radio tower south of Nashville, TN in Brentwood. It was the tower used by WSM back in the day. (Foreground: simple flagpole at the Brentwood public library).

Photo taken in mid-May with a Galaxy S4, edited (to look rather ominous) with Snapseed.

Location : Bhimashankar is a Jyotirlinga shrine located 50 km northwest of Khed, near Pune, in India.
Device : Nexus 5 (4.4.3)
Story : My mummy was came first time to Pune and she want to see places near by Pune, India. So I google out and find Bhimashankar Temple which is located on high hill. The temple is a modest yet graceful temple and it dates back to 13th century and the sabhamandap developed in 18th century by Nana Phadnavis.
At there I found this nurture high hill beauty and I capture it in my Google Nexus 5 camera.

top of the hancock building in downtown chicago facing east. taken with a droid X if you believe it. no editing software used- this was straight off the device.

it's funny- we had a dslr with us as well. while the pictures from the purpose-built camera came out well, this one photo that was quickly taken sort of as an afterthought ended up coming out great (imo). the shot was taken in 2010 when the DX was brand new and it still impresses me with the quality. check the shot out full-size, it's a decent testament to moto's 4.3'' behemoth (at the time).

This is a picture taken from the balcony of my lab, overlooking Berkeley, Oakland, and SF in the distance! The tower is UC Berkeley Campanile.

Taken from a 3rd story office window, I love how you can only just see the other buildings over the tops of the trees
