As I wrote in my previous post, I was to the Copenhagen Carneval 2009, which took place last weekend. I finally sat down and went through all the photos to find some gems. The photos shown here are taken with D300 and either 85mm AF or 105mm AF VR. Enjoy!

I must say that the Copenhagen Carnival Parade counts as a real parade! The ear-threatening music and the hot sun contributed well to the devoted dancers in colourful clothing, when I watched the parade this saturday.

Copenhagen Zombie Crawl 2009: I brought the D300, 50mm/1.4 and SB-900 and hoped that I wouldn’t get too much fake blood on them.
