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…

Sincil Bank
Today I have been using the BANC business centre at Sincil Bank, Lincoln City Football Club’s ground, for meetings and staff training. At lunchtime the team was using the lounge so we moved up to one of the boxes overlooking the ground – from where we had an excellent view of the castle and cathedral.
Lincoln Cathedral at Night
Shot from my iPhone – it is small but the Cathedral is there. It was unfortunate that the window was dirty.

More Practice Walking
With only two weeks to go until we start the West Highland Way, I thought I would walk into Lincoln this afternoon, rather than use the car park near the office where my meeting was.
