Lincoln

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.

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.
