Not so lost coast, November 2017

January 06, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 250mm f/5.6
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Kodak D76

First thing you see when you arrive to the Lost Coast (from Eureka) is this settlement. You guess it's not so lost after all. But then you see that there's pretty much nothing else after that: not even a road after a few miles.

This was taken from Mattole Road, on the way to Petrolia.

I tried to capture the vastness of this place, contrasting it to these few buildings. How they were built in probably the only somewhat protected spot.

I used the 250mm lens, but the 150mm might have worked as well. The longer lens allowed me to place the "town" all along the foreground though, with the road leading towards the horizon and the emptiness.
