Weekly photo contest: Nightlife

[Sam Sabri]

​​

We're going to have 'nightlife' as the theme for the weekly photo contest this week. This is another contest where you can get creative and inventive with what nightlife means to you. As usual, you'll be using your Windows Phone to capture nightlife and sharing your entry in our forums.

Nightlife

This week we're going to get a little nocturnal with our contest. Stay up a little bit past your bedtime and head out and capture nightlife. Head to a club, restaurant, theater or downtown to capture what life is like around you at night. Live in the wilderness? Well your nightlife is probably a bit different from those city folks, but we're sure you can get creative shots too!

Photo subject can be anything you want, so long as your photo has a 'nightlife' theme.
​
The above photo was captured by yours truly. It's of the Canadian electronic dance music duo Adventure Club. They were playing a show in Seattle at Showbox SoDo in Seattle and it was amazing. I used the Lumia 1020 to get the shot, then cropped and upped the vibrance a little bit.

Rules

Rules are going to be just like last week. Here they are:

• Picture must be taken with a Windows Phone
• Picture must be uploaded to the contest thread (linked below)
• You have to tell us what device you used to take the picture, and any special software or apps 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 Windows Phone Central, so I know how to contact the winner
• Only ONE entry per week per person

Social

We're going to continue our social experiment from last week. Share any pictures you take for the contest on Instagram and Twitter using the following hashtags. It's a fun way to at a glance check out your competition and get inspiration. Plus we're building a community of Windows Phone mobile photographers!
Here's how it looks this week.

• #WPCpc
• #NightlifeWPC

This doesn't count as your entry; it's just a fun way to track the photos on social media. Your entry still needs to be in the forums!
​
Prize

One winner will get a $25 gift card to the Windows Phone Store. You can use it to buy apps and games in the Windows Phone Store, Windows Store or Xbox Store.
We'll pick a winner Tuesday night (September 16) at 11:59 PM ET. Winners will be announced in a blog post for the contest next week.

Taken with my Lumia 525 with the Nokia Camera app. I took this image few months back when I was bored on a Sunday night and I had nothing to do. I went to the bridge and started doing experiment with focus and shutter speed. And this was the result.

A late night out with the wife back in August rocking out to The Winery Dogs at a very cool venue, The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. It was my birthday weekend, we had a two hour drive, and gorged on Irish fare and Guinness...great night, awesome memories.

The photo was taken with my Lumia 928 and tweaked a bit in Lightroom.

Lol!

I took this picture in Prague's Town Center, had a Lumia 920 at the time. Unfortunately the low light sensor was not as powerfull as in my next L1020 or L930 but I managed to fix the picture with Nokia Studio.

Prague's a beautiful city with a very peculiar mood at night; somehow between romantic and gothic, depending on the place where you're standing.

This picture was taken at a village party that overhelmed us all. It was actually quite big for how big the village was. There was some overwhelming lighting conditions, as you can see.
