This is some photographs from my last "adventure" where me and my friends visited 2 abandoned factories and this place called "kyrkö mosse" It´s a place where an old mans hobby has bin left to rot. The guy who owned this place was a collector of cars and he also sold and did repairs in the 1950s. When he got old and no longer could live by his own his life long work had to stay. Now this place is protected by swedish law as a cultural landmark.

For those who want to know. I left all my zoom lenses at home on this trip. And i also brought my new little friend the Panasonic GF-2 with 14mm prime. I used the GF2 to scout around the environments and i used it for B&W photos to get a feel for the lighting etc. It worked well for me and i will do the same thing on the next trip..Leaving the zoom lenses at home is something i really recommend since you have to work harder for your photos and use your brain allot more..No lazy zooming this time around...Although i brought to many lenses so the swapping was a bit tiresome. Maby il get braver to my next trip.

The lineup i brought was 8mm f/3,5 fisheye, 14mm F/2.8, and the 50mm F/1.8.,.And on the panasonic 14mm F/2.5 = 28mm equiv. I ended up using the 14 and fisheye the most..Although i shot alot of detail shots with the 50.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    What a fantastic location. I like the use of the wide angle lens.

    You could start a competition to name the vehicles...I think the car in shot 4 is an Opel Kaddett ?
