    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I'll choose the Lumia 950XL. Probably shall sell it and get a Nexus 6P. I find that W10M has lost a lost of the stylishness and class, in terms of UX aesthetics, that WP8/8.1 had.

    Windows Central Photo Contest: Nature!

    Captured this shot at Yosemite NP last year. What an amazing place! This particular vista point is called "Valley View" and offers a magnificent view of Yosemite Valley from alongside the Merced River. The famous El Capitan (on the left) and Bridalveil Fall (running almost dry the time this...

    Windows Central photo contest - Water

    Some things just look better in the dark. Took this photo during the early days with my Lumia 920. Just some water droplets on a CD and some creativity. :) Captured using ProShot on my Lumia 920 (Lumia Camera with full manual controls wasn't available back then). Mostly unedited, just some...

    Weekly photo contest: Paths

    || When our paths crossed || Ran into this cute lil critter while I was out on a walk, a few days ago - crossing the pathway, not a worry in the world. :) Had to get down low, really low, to get this POV. Captured on my Lumia 920 and edited in Adobe Photoshop Express and Lumia Creative...

    Weekly photo contest: Green

    || Tiny droplets of life || It rarely rains in SoCal. So when it rains, it's time to get all those water droplets and puddlegram shots. Took this photo a few months ago while walking in a local park. Love how the green color pops in this photo, and the shallow depth of field draws you to the...

    Weekly photo contest: Autumn

    "Fall-en" - the season of fall, the fallen leaves and the fallen branch. In this shot of the Yosemite Valley, on the left is the mighty, towering El Capitan and to the right is the Cathedral Mountain Range, home to the Bridalveil Falls. The view of the valley is spectacular on its own, but the...

    Weekly photo contest: Curves

    How does it look like, when your life hangs by a thread? This is how it looks: Took a shot of the Singapore Flyer from a tour bus, using my Nokia Lumia 920 and edited using Adobe Photoshop Express. It was quite cloudy /gloomy that day, and I wasn't very happy with the way the flyer looked in...

    Weekly photo contest: HDR

    omg HDR! You're absolutely right, Sam. HDR is extremely tricky. When not done right, it produces an image that can look very unreal, with neon-like colors that look unpleasant (to me at least). I do not have a lot of HDR photos, so it is easy for me to choose a pic for this contest. I was out at...

    Weekly photo contest: Silhouette

    Awesome theme yet again, Sam! Here's my entry. I was out, visiting La Jolla Cove, taking some sunset shots and began wandering down south from the cove. I spent quite some time taking some long exposure shots (with a tripod, of course) and was just about to pack up and return when I noticed...

    Weekly photo contest: Outdoors

    How do you think one would access this pier? Taken on my L920 and edited using Fantasia Painter Picture caption: The inaccessible pier

    Calendar app

    Re: Live tile I had that same darn problem (multiple times). Last I had it was yesterday. Not sure if this was the root cause, but I realized that a few minutes before noticing this problem, I had turned notifications for the ABC News app and had enabled it to run in the background (for...

    Weekly photo contest: Motion

    Wow, such an awesome theme for this week's contest. So many ideas come to mind. I have LOTS of photos that would fit this theme (car/trolley light trails, "action shot" and "motion focus" photos of fast-moving objects shot using Nokia's Smart Sequence mode, etc). Choosing one has been extremely...

    Weekly photo contest: Coffee

    My 'creative' take on coffee: Ring of fire, err...coffee. Taken with a Nokia Lumia 520 and edited with Adobe Photoshop Express. Back story: I wanted to create an abstract picture using the empty cup of coffee sitting on my desk.

    My Instagram handle: @aaa_6112. All my posts are Nokia Lumia 920 shots. Here are some of my recent posts: Elements in motion After getting my phone wet taking this shot, I missed several subsequent larger waves because the screen had gotten unresponsive and tap to focus wouldn't work. But...
