One more from the recent batch of Efke PL25M. I shot this one back in May of 2021. Myself and some of my colleagues from the Monochrome Guild were out on a daytrip. We were attempting to get some images for the "Coal in Alberta" exhibition. We traveled down to the Battle River Power plant to see if we could get any shots of the active strip mines. It turned out that the mines had been recently shut down, and the power plant transitioned over to natural gas, ahead of the original schedule.
We stopped at the Diplomat Mine Historic site and I took this picture of the bucket of the long retired Marion 360 stripping shovel. The bucket was obviously not moving, but the clouds were very active. I used a six stop neutral density filter in combination with this very slow film, rated at 10 iso. This resulted in a 4 minute exposure with my Ebony 4x5 view camera and a Fujinon 125mm lens. There is some nice movement evident in the clouds while the bucket remains tack sharp.
