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.

got up at 8

there was three beds(and a fourth hidden on)…all for me

breakfast at 9

dyreparken (zoo) at 10…i dont remember the last time i was at a zoo…this ostrich tried to bite our shoes

the lighting was fantastic


saw some lions…surprising how much smaller they are compared to tigers

ahead was the gibbon and orangutan area

flamingos…i had no idea how beautiful they were

these are Golden Lion Tamarin

and my friend the Tarantula…i am utterly scared of spiders



some lemurs

as it would happen…it rained

had some more fantastic

and saw some two humped camels








pony…strange animals…i love horses…not so sure about these

this was part of the indoor section where the animals are free and you can walk amongst them


this is a Cottontop Tamarin…i was happy about the 28mm as it meant i had to get real close

it was closing time and the flamingos moved indoors

we went to checkout…the Meerkat



5 pm and time to leave…

took a walk around town…



and into a pub for some drinks


i had a Irish coffee

while guillaume sketched me

i liked it…he hated it…something about the perspective being wrong…the sketch was later torn…glad i took a photo

dinner time

olve sketching a cuckoo troll

some sort of lamb

and a chocolate fondant
