Sea lions at Point Arena, CA, November 2017

January 10, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 150mm f/4
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Ilfotec HC

Point Arena was one of my favorite spots in the Mendocino area, and that's why I went there twice leaving behind some other places.

The first day I got rain and fog. The second time I got Sun and a very bright day.

As you can imagine, this image was made on the first day. It's a long exposure of some sea lions hanging out on those rocks. I was hoping they wouldn't move too much for a few minutes so they'd still look sharp enough. And looks like I was right, they didn't move a lot.

You can find more photos from Northern California in the archive.
