Lumia 925, Nokia Camera. Used Photoshop to add extra stars cause there are only half as many stars where I live and then edited the contrast a bit.
Back-story? Well this is supposed to be the sunrise yeah? Well that's when I go to sleep. When the sun rises. I was just about to get into bed when I looked outta the window and saw this and I immediately had to capture it.

"The Perfect Timing"
As the sun is about to rise, so does the tide rushes in this twin sandbar in Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines.

Shot with a Lumia 1020 via Nokia Camera and edited with Fotor.

"A Walk to Remember"
This one was shot when two people walked together so closely they appear as one. The water reflection adds a dramatic effect to the sandbar.

Lumia Icon, no editing.
While on vacation this week, I would go down to watch the sunrise with my daughters. I took pictures with my DSLR and with the Icon.

Hello everyone,
I took this photo with my previous Lumia 920. Just a bit of saturations and brightness/contrast adjustment.
Those flowers framed the sunrise quite beautifully. Took it during Morning jog in Central Park, Mumbai.WP_20140223_07_14_22_Pro+4BHDR.jpg

Lumia 1020, summer holiday back to my hometown (city) of Perth, Western Australia, January 2014. This was taken south of Perth on Warnbro beach following a rather delicious fish and chips with my long since divorced parents, united for my birthday celebration, just the three of us.

I know you wanted a sunrise, but I'm either sleeping in or traveling to work when sunrise hits, so this is actually a sunset. It's pretty close.

This photo was taken in East Poland. That morning a 1200km lay before us going back home. So we got up early at 3.30 in the morning. When we went to the car, we were greeted with this absolutely awesome first glimpse of the sun rising.
Taken with HTC Titan, no editing (browsing through those photos i'm impressed again how good the Titan's camera was).

Let?s get out and shoot more. I thought it would be fun if we had a weekly photo contest here on the site. How about every Wednesday we?ll pick a theme, and you have until next Tuesday to go out and use your Windows Phone to capture the image. Our first theme? Let?s do sunrise.

I thought capturing a sunrise would be a nice way to start. This is after all the dawn of a new weekly series. Get it? Dawn? Sunrise?

We?ll tweak the format as we go forward, but for now it?s pretty simple. Take a photo of sunrise. You don?t have to point your Windows Phone directly at the rising sun. You can if you want, but feel free to get creative with the theme ?sunrise. Maybe it?s the light falling onto your coffee first thing in the morning. Maybe it?s the reflection of dew on a blade of grass. Maybe you literally point your camera at the sun. Doesn't matter as long as it feels like ?sunrise.'

Rules

  • Picture must be taken with a Windows Phone
  • Picture must be uploaded to the contest thread.
  • 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.

Prize

This week we?ll give you two $25 gift cards for your Microsoft account. Apply that cash to your Microsoft account, and you can use it towards an app or game in the Windows Phone Store, Windows Store or Xbox store.

We?ll pick a winner Tuesday night (August 5) at 11:59 PM ET. Winners will be announced in the blog post for the contest next week.
