366 Days of 2012, Day 347 - Portrait of a Photographer

In this ever so digital world of megapixel spray, pray, filter and share it was an absolute delight to see a photographer doing something different down here on the Glenelg foreshore this evening.

Tim McCullough's camera in this image is a Fuji's GX617 which is an old school fully manual film camera. It takes 120 roll film and produces a monster 3:1 panoramic 180mmx60mm negative. With only 4 shots to a roll you'd be making very sure everything is right before you pressed that shutter.

It's not all old tech however as Tim gets his negatives scanned resulting in a 200Megapixel images! With the cost of film, processing and scanning, he spends about $10 every time he presses that shutter. At that rate most instagrammers I know would go broke!

Today's message: less really is more!
