Film scans | Day 3… | Day 2 | Day 1

The point of the trip was to sketch…as we all failed at that on day 2…we decided to go back. Leave after lunch, stop at Grimstad and Risør on the way home.

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.
