This is what happens when you have a day off.You end up down the pier with your best friend and his ultra-expensive camera. He takes the sort of pics that end up in Good Weekending and you end up taking happy snaps with your iPhone.
And am I the only person who still loves film in a camera? Where's the thrill of discovery in seeing exactly what you shot just a few seconds later? What's happened to getting your photos developed and getting them back and realising that your thumb is obscuring half of Horse Guards Parade during the Changing of the Guard?
Sigh.

You and your iPhone....
Interesting phot Prof. I'm keen to wander around Melbourne as well, given I've recently bought a new Pentax digital camera. I also agree with you about old film cameras. There was a certain romance getting prints back after dropping off the film. It is a bit like opening a good wine that still has a cork in it rather than a stelvin screw cap. I just love the fact you have to strain to get the thing out and hear the pop at the end of the process!
