A Walk in the Woods
A short walk in the woods yesterday.
I set out early and took some extra breakfast with me – and boiled water on my meths stove for tea, having found a convenient fallen tree, in a quiet clearing, to sit on.
I had to stand over the sapling, below, to get the frame I wanted and from that position I could not hold the iPhone steady enough, so I used the “stabiliser” finction in the Camera+ app to get a sharp image.

Stapleford Wood
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.
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…

iPhoneography
Taking photographs with your iPhone.
I use my iPhone extensively as a digital camera, at work where it grabs screens shots, copies documents and records jobs,
and when walking and backpacking where is saves weight compared to a digital camera. It is the camera in my pocket for every occasion.
I have a selection of camera and imaging apps installed which add to the creativity of the iPhone camera these include.
- Pro HDR
- Camera+
- Pano
- 6X6
- Photogene²
but I still regularly use the iPhone camera app, which makes a great point and shoot camera with HDR. (You can search the iTunes App store for any of the above.)
When Googling iPhone photography I came across this site and blog, iPhoneography, which has some great articles, app reviews and outragous iPhone accessories. It is worth following if you are interested in iPhone photography.
