My family loves Microsoft. Not only as evident by these devices but also the Microsoft's logo (via app) on the start screen of our windows phones. This photo shows my Lumia 1520, Lumia 800 and my Xbox 360; my wife's Lumia 920; my daughter's Lumia 535 and Surface 3. Not in the picture is my wife's Lumia 1020 which I used in taking the photo. Used Lumia creative studio as photo editor.

Story...

The Lumia 520 was my first smart phone. Ever. I had been avoiding them for years as I didn't like the thought of being connected all the time: There's a benefit to being unplugged from the world. But, circumstances change and I couldn't put it off any more. We all know the story of the 520, so my reasons for choosing it as my first should be obvious as well. It served me well, but it retired last year when then newer, younger, stronger 830 took over my pocket.

Of course, the 520 was my first introduction to windows phone. It will always be remembered as a great one at that. :)

Today, I was out in the yard with the dogs. We have a decorative birdhouse in one of our gardens, so in it went.

A surface RT, a Lumia Pen & King Fahd Fountain (The Tallest Fountain ... In The World) taken with a Lumia 930 (Rich Capture & Flash)

I have to be honest with you on this one, I did not sketch the picture of the Fountain shown in the Surface, I took a picture of the Fountain with my 930, used Fantasia Editor to apply a "Sketch Effect", sent it to my Surface & displayed it to look all Artistic & **** :winktongue: & by the way, The Lumia Pen is an actual ink pen, Not a Stylus :cool:

When you gaze into the lens, the lens gazes back at you.

I was inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, with my Nokia Lumia 920 being a monolith in its own right. :winktongue:

Lumia 920 Photoshoot

Of how awesome the 920 is, I've actually spent a day doing a photo shoot.Windows phone design language has always inspired me. I didn't have another windows phone lying around to click a picture, what i had was a friend and his dslr.He was kind enough to lend me his camera for a day.And what better way to show off my phone than to have a whole photoshoot focused on it ! And i know my entry won't be considered, just because i didn't have a windows phone to click this picture. But its okay i had a opportunity to share my photograph and my love for the windows phone community.

Any work which I have to do eventually leads me here to my laptop running on Windows 8.1 and life without it is incomplete.

this is a friend's 535, I sold most of my friends on Lumias, so it wasn't hard getting another Microsoft device. Took this one with 'Lumia camera' manual controls on my 920, and also edited on the 920 using photoshop express. hope you all like it. couldn't upload on the forums using opera mini, uc browser and edge, this is a link to the pic on Facebook: httpsCOLON//fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihdDOTnet/hphotos-ak-xpt1/t31.0-8/12087706_1187833934565990_8609139300347002521_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoiYiJ9 please replace COLON and DOT with the appropriate symbols.
 
This is a pic of my old Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer from 1996. He is now retired and I caught him enjoying his time hiking the hills of Brown County in Southern Indiana. The photo was taken with my Nokia Icon, using the ProShot App. Photo was edited using Lumia Creative Studio changing the vibrance, shadows, clarity and temperature.

Thanks for the entries guys, the contest is now closed. Keep an eye on Windows Central to find out the winner!
 
Do we count in hardware whose brand Microsoft owns now, but didn't at that time when they were made? For me these old Nokia phones represents the perfect engineering. They were designed to be user friendly with hugely long battery life, robust as hell, I dropped mine constantly without permanent damage.

Microsoft does NOT own Nokia nor its brand.
