Kristiansand 2009 | Day 2 | Dyreparken

Film scans | Day 3 | Day 2… | Day 1

for the trip i carried a 5d + 28/1.8 and a om1 + 28/2.8. Not the best lenses when you go to the zoo…especially when you see everyone else with their mega zoom lenses. But it was nice to not bother with multiple lenses.

Kristiansand 2009 | Day 1

Film scans | Day 3 | Day 2 | Day 1…

Plan was to goto the Dyreparken (zoo) in Kristansand and sketch. As I have zero skillz at sketching I took photos. The zoo was pretty good…worth a visit.

Day one…we hired a car and Guillaume was the driver…I offered to drive but no one trusted my driving skillz.
