I went for a short walk west of Branston this afternoon.

The weather took a turn for the worst – cold and windy. I found a convenient log to sit on, to boil some water for soup.

It was a struggle to get the stove to light in the wind and even with the wind shield it took over 30mls of meths to heat the water – which did not quite reach boiling! I will have to take this into account when packing fuel for my back packing trips – I might not be allowing enough fuel on my packing list.

Who is Bob Heil? He built that box for Peter Frampton, friends with Joe Walsh, worked with The Who, the Grateful Dead etc – get more details from his Wikipedia page.

It was excellent.

Lincoln City Centre Photographs

27 November 2011 / Lincolnshire, Photography, Technology, Travel / black and white, iPhone, iPhone camera apps, iPhone photography, Lincoln, Lincoln Minster, Lincolnshire

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.
