It has to be the most dominant feature in Lincoln – the Cathedral.
I am off to the Lancashire coast and the Lake District tomorrow so no more photos of the Cathedral for a couple of weeks.

I had a short walk out east of Newark on Bank Holiday Tuesday – the light was just right as I passed through Stapleford Woods.
The above image was taken with Camera+, but the original was very dark in the foreground. I then used the Camera+ “Clarify” function to lighten the foreground without losing the sun burst.
All images made with my iPhone 4, including post processing and cropping.
Before going to work on Sunday morning, (reading and reviewing a client’s, current staff handbook to reflect new technologies we are installing for them), I had a chance for a short walk through Stapleford Wood near Newark. Plenty of late autumn colours.
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…
