Short studies from a week on foot, collected as they came rather than chased.

Notes

A week on foot, walking short sections of quiet country. The subject was less the land itself and more the small buildings sitting in it.

Route

  • Two days along one valley
  • A day further up country
  • A final day closer to the train line

Approach

Hand-held, medium format. The decision on each frame was not where to stand but when to press, waiting for the cloud to soften the tones.

Captured on

  • Medium-format rangefinder, 80mm lens
  • Ilford FP4 Plus, rated at 125
  • Developed in Ilfotec DDX
  • Scanned at 2400 dpi
First find of the week, a few hundred metres off the main road.
Walked in about a mile. Used rarely, otherwise empty.

Outcome

Small, stacked, still standing

Each frame was a half day of waiting for the light to come around. The subjects themselves never moved.
