I'm not sure that you want to use a log scale here, but may be better
served by log transforming your data.

For example:

# Generate 100 random values from a log normal dist:
x <- rlnorm(100)


# Now do a histogram on x
hist(x, freq = FALSE)


# Now use log(x)
hist(log(x), freq = FALSE)


Does that help?
