Trinidad, November 2017

Camera and Lens: Bronica SQ-Ai, Zenzanon PS 150mm f/4
Film stock: Ilford HP5+
Exposure: 800
Developer: Kodak D76

I took this shot during an evening walk, just after sunset, in the small but charming little town of Trinidad, in Northern California.

It was breezy and cold, intermitently drizzling. But this is the kind of landscapes that inspire me and that I love so much.

There were quite a few people on the dock, fishing and hanging out with friends and family.

I framed this composition from an elevated spot, trying to capture the drama that the mist was creating just at the other side of the bay.

I thought of taking a long exposure, but the weather conditions made me think otherwise. In retrospective, I believe this shot is stronger this way and it captures the roughness of the sea on a cold November evening.
