Sunrise
Sunrise as I walked into the city today.
Lincolnshire
One Day Later…
The weather has taken a turn for the worse with heavy rain and high winds.
I am working from home today so it gave me a chance to photography the trees in my back garden a day later in the bad weather.
Camera App Try Out
Yesterday shooting from the patio window, into a well lit scene, gave a good opportunity to shoot some comparison images using my favoured camera apps on my iPhone 4.
Clicking on the images will open the original full size images, so you can check the actual quality of the shots.

Lincoln City Centre Photographs
On Friday evening, I went into Lincoln city centre, with a couple of friends to shoot some photos of the Christmas lights and anything else of interest we came across. Between them they had a Sony SLR, and two Nikons – I took my iPhone.
One of the apps I wanted to try out was 6×6, a camera app that takes square images. I know you can crop any photo you take with an iPhone to a square but this app forces you to create your image inside a square, something that photographers used to do when using medium format cameras with 6cm by 6cm film frames. 6×6 also has a setting to take only mono photos (no second colour image saved) – it gives a similar experience to when I used to shoot black and white film.
A number of the following shots were taken on Steep Hill – the best street in the UK.
The Pie Shop used by Lawrence of Arabia.
And the rectangle shot for comparison.
Another camera app I used was Pro HDR, when the app takes two images to make the final shot, it takes some interesting ghost images.
And in colour…
